Emotiva DMC-1 User Manual page 22

• Many RCA type patch cords can be a very tight fit and there is usually a preferred method of
getting them off. Some have to be removed with a twisting action. Be gentle or you may
damage the jacks of your DMC-1, or other components.
• Many audiophile signal cables are intended to be hooked up in one direction. If this is the
case the cables will be marked with arrows the direction of signal flow.
• It is usual for the right channel RCA patch cord plugs to be red and the left channel connec-
tions to be white, grey, or black (depending on the cable brand). RCA connectors that are gold
will be designated with a colored band to designate the channel.
• If the amplifier to which you will connect the DMC-1 features balanced XLR inputs, use the
DMC-1's XLR balanced outputs instead of RCA type patch cords. Balanced signal transmis-
sion between audio components provides superior rejection of hum and noise, especially if
long cables are required.
