Rear Panel Connections
The rear panel will look similar to Figure 2 (above). The analog outputs are on the left side; There are two pairs,
"Right" and "Left", each with a single-ended RCA and balanced XLR connector. These are "Fixed Level" outputs,
intended to be connected to a line-level input on either your preamplifier or integrated amplifier. We strongly
recommend that you use the balanced XLR connectors on your 260D to maximize its level of performance. Both
pairs of analog outputs can be used simultaneously if required. Don't hesitate to use high quality interconnect
cables*. Poor quality interconnect cables can degrade the overall sonic performance of your system.
Next is a group of four (4) "Digital Inputs" labelled "D1"
thru "D4". Inputs "D1" and "D2" are S/PDIF on RCA
connectors, benefitting most from cables with an
impedance of 75Ω. Input "D3" is Optical and uses a
Toslink connector. Finally, input "D4" is USB type-B
connector. Next, are two digital outputs; AES/EBU on a
XLR connector (that benefits most from a 110Ω digital
audio cable terminated with XLR connectors) and SPDIF
on an RCA connector. Don't hesitate to use high quality
digital interconnect cables*.
The right side of the rear panel has various connectors
for external communications. The Nēo 260D is
equipped with full-function bi-directional RS-232 port
control
and
status
for
automation, as well as future software updates. Next to
the RS-232 port are two (2) "SimLink™" connectors
labeled "in" and "out" on 1/8" mini jacks. Please refer to
the next section entitled SimLink™ for more details.

Then there is a 1/8" mini-jack input for use with
aftermarket infrared remote control receivers.
Finally on the far right side is the main power switch
("0"=off, "1"=on), the IEC receptacle, labeled "AC Input"
for the included AC power cord, and the "AC Fuse"
socket cover. Connect the supplied AC power cable to
the IEC receptacle. Ensure that the AC wall outlet you
use has a functioning ground.
performance, it is preferable that you plug your 260D
directly into a dedicated AC outlet and avoid using an
extension cord.
