CONNECTIONS Make sure to connect L (left) to L, R (right) to R, “+” to “+” and “–” to “–”. If the connections are faulty, no sound will be heard from the speakers, and if the polarity of the speaker connections is incorrect, the sound will be unnatural and lack bass. Refer to the owner’s manual for each of your components. Make sure to use RCA cables or optical cable to connect audio components.
CONNECTIONS ■ REC jacks Rear panel • The audio signals are not output via the LINE 2 REC or LINE 3 REC output jacks when LINE 2 or LINE 3 is selected with the INPUT selector. • The VOLUME, BASS, TREBLE, BALANCE and LOUDNESS controls and the CD DIRECT function (or the PURE DIRECT function) have no effect on the source being recorded. Speaker ■ Connecting speaker cables 1 Remove approximately 10 mm of insulation from the end of each speaker cable. 2 Twist the bare wires of the cable firmly together.
PLAYBACK SPEAKERS 4 VOLUME Rotate the SPEAKERS selector on the front panel to select SPEAKERS A, B or A+B BIWIRING. y Set the SPEAKERS selector to the A+B BI-WIRING position when two sets of speakers are connected using bi-wire connections, or when using two sets of speakers simultaneously (A and B). (A-S701) A 5 Play the selected input source. 6 Rotate the VOLUME control on the front panel (or press VOLUME +/– on the remote control) to adjust the sound output level.
PLAYBACK Adjusting to the desired sound LOUDNESS VOLUME ■ Reproducing pure, high fidelity sound (PURE DIRECT) When the PURE DIRECT function is on, noise can be reduced by bypassing the circuit that the audio input signal is not using and stopping the power supply to the circuit. Therefore, in all input sources, you can enjoy music playback in straight and high quality sound. The indicator above the PURE DIRECT button lights up when this function is turned on.
TROUBLESHOOTING Problem This unit fails to turn on. This unit turns off suddenly and the power indicator blinks. Cause See page The power cable is not connected or the plug is not completely inserted. Connect the power cable firmly. The A AMP is pressed on the remote control while this unit is turned off. Press A (power) switch on the front panel to on. The impedance setting of the connected speaker is too small. Use speaker(s) with proper speaker impedance.
TROUBLESHOOTING Problem Cause Remedy See page Playback has been stopped on the connected component. Turn the component on and start playback. No appropriate input source has been selected. Select an appropriate input source with the INPUT selector on the front panel (or one of the Input selector buttons on the remote control). 11 The SPEAKERS selector is not set properly. Set the corresponding SPEAKERS selector to A, B or A+B BI-WIRING position.
