4 Connection
Prior to connecting/disconnecting, switch off the
respective units.
4.1 Audio units
Multiple outputs are provided for the connection
of the following units (e. g. amplifiers, mixers).
The operating mode selected defines the signal
that is available at the individual outputs:
1. Outputs (TUNER) CD/USB/SD CARD (25)
– Stereo output via RCA jacks L Left/R Right
– Mono output via a balanced XLR chassis
plug
In the mode "Single", the signal of the
CD/MP3 player (CD, USB storage device or
memory card) or the signal of the tuner is sent
to the outputs.
In the mode "Dual", the signal of the CD/MP3
player (CD, USB storage device or memory
card) is sent to the outputs.
2. Stereo output TUNER (24) via RCA jacks
L Left/R Right
In the mode "Single", the output does not
receive any signal.
In the mode "Dual", the signal of the tuner is
sent to the output.
4.2 Antenna
Connect the FM antenna supplied (or another
antenna for FM or MW reception) to the jack
ANT (26).
To connect both an FM antenna and a
medium wave antenna, connect the two anten-
nas to the jack ANT via an antenna combiner.
4.3 Power supply
Finally, first connect the mains cable supplied to
the mains jack (21) and then to a mains socket
(230 V~/ 50 Hz).
To make sure that the unit continues operat-
ing even in case of power failure, connect a 24 V
emergency power supply unit, e. g. PA-24ESP
from MONACOR, to the terminal screws (23).
Note: Even if the unit is switched off, it consumes a low
power. Therefore, disconnect the mains plug from the
socket and, if necessary, disconnect the emergency
power supply unit if the unit will not be in operation for a
longer time.
5 Operation
