the cord.
Keep the unit free from moisture,
water, and dust.
Unplug the power cord when not
using the unit for long periods
of time.

Names and Functions
Front Panel
1) INPUT SELECTOR Knob
The input terminal corresponding to the source played can be selected.
2) LEVEL Knob
The volume can be adjusted so that when the knob is turned to the right (clockwise
rotation), the volume is increased and when it is turned to the left (anticlockwise
rotation), the volume is decreased.
3) OUTPUT SELECTOR Knob
This unit’s output terminals are combined of an unbalanced output due to the RCA pin
connector and a balanced output due to the XLR connector which are (1) and (2) and
each of the outputs can be turned on/off with this knob.
Note
For a source having many low region signals or for a volume change of large
steps (LEVEL knob position: less than the 9 o’clock position), popping noises
may be heard (although rare) from the speakers by operating the LEVEL knob.
However, this phenomenon is not a failure and the noise can occur because
this unit’s method for adjusting the level is done by switching the attenuation
grade which is done by using a high precision rotary switch.

This unit’s output terminals are combined of an unbalanced output due to the RCA pin
connector and a balanced output due to the XLR connector which are (1) and (2) and
each of the outputs can be turned on/off with the OUTPUT SELECTOR knob.
This is a ground reference point for audio signals.
Avoid connecting the ground using this terminal to equipments connected through
the RCA pin connector or XLR connector. The sound quality can be deteriorated
because of forming a ground loop among some equipment.
Utilize this terminal to connect the ground of an equipment that is separated from
audio signals such as the motor of an analog player, the chassis of an MC
step-up transformer, or the ground from the solid earth as necessary.

7) INPUT Terminal
This terminal is for connecting output terminals such as CD players, phono
amplifiers, and tuners. The input terminal has 3 unbalanced inputs due to the
RCA pin connector and 3 balanced inputs due to the XLR pin connector.
Caution
Note
For this unit, an XLR connector is used for the balanced terminal.
The pin settings are as shown in the diagram.
Pin 1 = GND, Pin 2 = HOT, Pin 3 = COLD

This unit’s balanced input/output is directly connected to the ATT transformer.
Therefore, if an unbalanced balanced converting adaptor or so forth is connected
to the balanced input/output of this unit, the actual performance cannot be
carried out. On this unit’s balanced input/output, use by connecting only balanced
inputs/outputs.

Trouble Shooting Guide
Trouble Causes Measures
The sound is not
heard
Is the OUTPUT SELECTOR knob
set to off?
Use it with the correct
setting.
In case the equipment does not operate properly, check out the followings.
If it does not operate properly even after checking the advised points,
disconnect the AC plug from the outlet and then contact the dealer.
A popping noise
is heard when
turning the LEVEL
knob
For a source having many low region signals or for a volume change of
large steps (LEVEL knob position: less than the 9 o’clock position), popping
noises may be heard (although rare) from the speakers by operating the
LEVEL knob. However, this phenomenon is not a failure and the noise can
occur because this unit’s method for adjusting the level is done by switching
the attenuation grade which is done by using a high precision rotary switch.
