Connecting a playback device
You can connect turntables, CD players, network audio players and Blu-ray Disc players to this unit.
If you set this unit’s input source to “PHONO” and you accidentally increase the volume without having a turntable connected, you may hear a hum noise
from the speakers.
NOTE
0
The earth terminal (SIGNAL GND) of this unit is not for safety
grounding purposes. If this terminal is connected when there is a
lot of noise, the noise can be reduced. Note that depending on
the turntable, connecting the ground line may have the reverse
effect of increasing noise. In this case, it is not necessary to
connect the ground line.
0
The PHONO input terminals are equipped with a short pin-plug.
Remove this plug to connect a record player. Store the removed
short pin-plug in a safe place so as not to lose it.

Explanation of terms
Sampling frequency
Sampling involves taking a reading of a sound wave (analog signal) at
regular intervals and expressing the height of the wave at each reading in
digitized format (producing a digital signal).
The number of readings taken in one second is called the “sampling
frequency”. The larger the value, the closer the reproduced sound is to the
original.
Linear PCM
This is an uncompressed PCM (Pulse Code Modulation) signal. This is the
same system used for CD audio but uses 192 kHz, 96 kHz, and 48 kHz
sampling frequencies on Blu-ray Disc or DVD and provides higher
resolution than CD.
Speaker impedance
This is an AC resistance value, indicated in Ω (ohms).
Greater power can be obtained when this value is smaller.
Source direct
Playback with higher fidelity to the source becomes possible, as input
audio signals are output by bypassing the audio quality-control circuits
(BASS/TREBLE/BALANCE).
Pairing
Pairing (registration) is an operation that is required in order to connect a
Bluetooth device to this unit using Bluetooth. When paired, the devices
authenticate each other and can connect without mistaken connections
occurring.
When using Bluetooth connection for the first time, you need to pair this
unit and the Bluetooth device to be connected.
Protection circuit
This is a function to prevent damage to devices within the power supply
when an abnormality such as an overload, excess voltage occurs or over
temperature for any reason.
