Section 8: RCA input, Selector and Noble Volume Pot

In this section we will be hooking up the first RCA input and testing for successful audio.

Installing and wiring your first pair of RCA inputs

Effectively, you will be repeating the same procedure for all six pairs to stereo inputs. Therefore, this section will go into
the greatest detail when showing the first stereo pair.
The RCA's are made up of a number of parts as illustrated below:
Before you give the RCA a final tighten, there are a couple of things to line up.
First, turn the body of the RCA so that 'U' formed by the RCA post is upright. This allows for easier soldering as it acts as
a 'bucket' for the solder.
Next the ground lug has to be placed in the required position (this may be out to the left, right, pointing up or downward
etc). This can be a little awkward because when you come to finally tighten up, the ground lug may want to turn with the
nut. Sometimes it is necessary to initially position it counter-clockwise to where you want it to end up.
The RCA can now be finally tightened - do not over-tighten.
Now that you know how to fit the RCA's, let's get back to our instructions...

When fitting an RCA connector to the chassis, first remove
the securing nut, ground lug, and flat insulation washer.
Bend the ground lug slightly so that the part that you will be
soldering onto will be at a better angle for threading wires
and for when you are to solder onto it.
With the 'lipped' insulation washer in place, fit into the
chassis hole from the back. Make sure that the 'lip' fits into
the hole while securing.
Now that the RCA is through the hole, fit the flat washer,
ground lug, and securing nut (in that order).
At first, only hand-tighten the securing nut.
