Caution!  Observe precautions regarding volume control settings.  Please make all
changes at minimum volume setting.  Only increase the volume after the
connections have been made. 
 
  Balanced CD Inputs 
Accepts a signal from a CD player with balanced outputs via high quality XLR
connectors.  The use of good quality balanced line cable into the balanced input
cause the input signal to be relatively immune to noise and external effects
caused by the use of long interconnect cables, helps reduce hum loop noise and
aids in the cancellation of distortion products. 
The pin assignments of the balanced XLR input connectors are as follows: 
 
Pin 1: Signal ground 
Pin 2: Signal + (non-inverting) 
Pin 3: Signal – (inverting) 
Shield ground: Chassis ground
 
Note:  Please refer to the operating manuals of your balanced output line level
source to verify that the pin assignments of the output connectors
correspond to the SM6 balanced inputs.  In the event that they are not
compatible, the interconnecting cable will need to be altered to suit. 
  Balanced CD Input Switch 
This switch selects which input to use for the CD source input.  Set to ON if
using the balanced (XLR) inputs and OFF if using the unbalanced (RCA) inputs.
 
Note:  Do not connect source equipment to both the balanced and unbalanced
CD inputs at any one time.
