USB CONNECTOR
The USB connector is for connecting to
computer, other equipments with USB,
LAN and so the Internet.
The analog output of the USB connector
is in parallel with auxiliary input.
PHONO INPUT
This input is suitable for both moving
magnet and moving coil cartridges. For
either type of cartridge the plugs on your
turntable lead should be connected to the
phono input sockets on the rear panel of
your amplifier.
To minimize hum the turntable lead
should be kept away from the mains
wiring, and any separate turntable ground
lead should be attached firmly to the
earth terminal on the rear of the amplifier.
A s w i t c h adjacent t o the d i s c input
sockets allows the selection of either MM
or MC input. Facing the back of the
amplifier, move the switch to the right for
use with MM or high output MC cartridges
and to the left for use with normal(low
output)MC cartridges.
Note:
Never operate the MM/MC selector
switch with the volume control turned up
as the resultant electrical surge may
damage your loudspeakers.
CD INPUT
The CD input is suitable for use with any
CD player. Connect your CD player to the
amplifier using the phono sockets marked
"CD".
TUNER INPUT
The Tuner input is suitable for use with
most AM/FM tuners. Connect your tuner
to the amplifier using the phono sockets
marked "Tuner".
AUXILIARY INPUT
The Auxiliary input is suitable for use with
any extra source processing a line level
output, perhaps a second tuner or CD
player, or an additional tape or video
recorder wired for replay only.
The auxiliary input is in parallel with the
analog output of the USB connector.
TAPE INPUT
This input is suitable for use with most
cassette, reel to reel or video recorders.
Connect the "record" leads of your tape
recorder to the phono sockets marked
"Tape out" on the rear of your amplifier
using phono/phono leads.
Connect the "playback" leads of your tape
recorder to the phono sockets marked
"Tape in" on the rear of your amplifier
using phono/phono leads. If your tape
machine processing DIN outputs, then
DIN/phono leads, or a DIN/phono adaptor
can be used. If you experience level
matching problems when using DIN
connectors, please consult your tape
machine manufacturer.
PRE OUT/MAIN IN
Normally the pre-amplifier and power
a m p l i f i e r s e c t i o n s o f t h i s u n i t a r e
connected together via factory-installed
U-shaped metal jumpers that bridge the
PRE-OUT and MAIN-IN jacks. Check to
be sure that they are fully inserted into
the jacks and that nothing is touching
them.
B y s w i t c h i n g O F F t h e p o w e r a n d
removing the metal jumpers, you can
connect a signal processor such as a
surround-sound decoder or an electronic
crossover in the path between preamp
and power amp. Connect a cable from
PRE-OUT to the processor's input and a
second cable from the processor's output
to MAIN IN.
LOUDSPEAKERS
Your AMC amplifier is designed to drive
loudspeakrs with a nominal impedance of
4-8 ohms.
However, XIA c a n only drive 4 ohm
speakers by switching the impedance
selector on the rear panel of the unit to
the 4 ohm setting.
