Connect the analog line outputs of your audio
components (SACD player, CD player, MD deck, DAT
deck, tape deck, etc.) to the analog line jacks on this unit.
If you have a component with balanced output capability,
that component can be connected to the BALANCED
LINE jacks on this unit.
Note
When making connections to a CD player (etc.) that has both
balanced and unbalanced output capability, make connections to
either the CD input jacks or to the BALANCED LINE jacks, but
not both. Making connections to both inputs may lessen the
quality of the audio output, or audio may not be output at all.
