CONNECTION OF THE SOURCE EQUIPMENT
Connect the outputs of the source devices with the inputs (11) of the amplifier. The output sockets on the
source equipment are usually indicated by "Line Out", "Audio Out" or "Front Out". You will find informa-
tion about ways to connect source equipment in their operating manuals.
To use a record player you need a so-called phono preamplifier (also called a equaliser pream-
plifier), which is installed in the signal path between the record player and one of the high-level
inputs. Some models of record player already include this preamplifier and can be connected
directly. You will find further information in this appliance's operating manual.
The stereo sound of appliances that use output connectors other than RCA (DIN plugs, jack
plugs) can often also be used with the aid of adaptors.
Up to six line level stereo sources can be connected to these RCA inputs. The audio inputs "S1"..."S6"
(11) represent electrically equivalent standard line level inputs with RCA connection. They have an iden-
tical function and differ only in name.

CONNECTION OF A RECORDING DEVICE
If you want, you can use the RCA sockets "REC OUT" (13) on the back of the appliance to connect an ana-
logue stereo recording device (e.g. CD recorder, cassette recorder etc.) or another appliance that is intended
for receiving the unchanged, fixed stereo output level (line level) from the signal source selected on the ampli-
fier at any given time. The output level is independent from the volume setting but reacts to the "MUTE" com-
mand. The output level is independent from the volume setting, the Loudness function, the tone settings (BASS,
TREBLE, TONE), the position of the speaker switch (4) and the plugging-in of the headphones (10).
SV-226MKII
Connect this signal output to the signal input ("LINE IN", "TAPE IN" oder "REC IN") on the recording appli-
ance using RCA cables. Please note that some recording equipment can have a slightly detrimental effect
on the audio signal quality. Some recording devices have rather low input impedance, which can slight-
ly alter the input signal voltage. For maximal music enjoyment we recommend that you connect to the
"REC" terminal only for as long as the recording is actually being made.

CONNECTION OF TWO ADDITIONAL
MAIN AMPLIFIER CHANNELS
You only need the "PRE OUT" sockets (14) if you want to use a separate stereo amplifier or two mono
amplifiers to supply two additional loudspeakers. This makes sense if you intend to use two more loud-
speakers for stereo music playback, for example in a separate zone (another room of your home). These
loudspeakers are then connected to the speaker outputs of the additional amplifier(s). The amplifier out-
put connections "PRE OUT" (14) must be connected with the input connectors of the main amplifier, in
most cases labelled "INPUT", "POWER AMP IN" or "MAIN INPUT".

Instead of the stereo main amplifier shown here you can alternatively use two mono main amplifiers. The
output level is independent from the position of the speaker switch (4) and the plugging-in of the headpho-
nes (10).
CONNECTIONS FOR THE STANDBY CONTROL
(POWER CONTROL)
Many AV-Systems consist of a multitude of individual components. To avoid the necessity of switching them
on and off before and after every use, many manufacturers have equipped their devices with what is
known as "POWER CONTROL" circuit or "TRIGGER". This kind of remote-controlled standby circuit is
used primarily for preamplifier and power amplifiers. To employ these functions, direct or indirect cable
connections must be made between the preamplifier (or integrated amplifier) and all the devices which
support this function. The "POWER CONTROL" function operates in such a way that each switching on
or off of one device in the system (usually the preamplifier) automatically brings about the switching on or
off of all the connected devices which support this function. Please keep in mind that all devices which
respond to the power control are not disconnected from the mains network when switched off. They are
set to a standby state instead. For connecting cables, two-core cables with 3.5 mm jack plugs (mono) are
used. For each connection between two devices one of those cables is needed.
If you don't wish to use this function or if the other components do not support it, all you have to do is
leave out these cable connections.
