-3- Making Connections to Your P/LD-2000 Before making any signal connections, make sure your P/LD-2000Õs volume control is turned fully counterclockwise or its power is turned off. Also make sure that your power amplifier is shut off. When making connections, make sure there is no strain or tension on any wires that could cause them to pull loose later on. Input Connections Unbalanced Direct Input RCA Connections This is the preferred input to connect any unbalanced source component for your most serious listening. The direct jacks feed a separately switched line level input with the most direct signal path to your power amplifier. Switch the input selection switches to the UNBAL position when using these input connections. Balanced XLR Input Connections Use this input to connect any source component with balanced outputs. In a balanced line both the + and - input signal float separate from the input ground. A balanced line provides superior hum and noise cancellation, especially in long wire runs. Many serious listeners prefer the sonic characteristics of balanced interconnects because the lower inherent noise floor contributes to a more defined and spacious soundstage. When using the balanced XLR input connections, be sure the input selection switches are in the BAL position. Normal Input Connections The CD, TUNER, VIDEO, AUX and TAPE inputs all have the same input sensitivity and impedance. These inputs are compatible with any typical analog line level source such as a tape deck, phono pre-preamplifier, D-A converter, DAT, MD, DCC, DSS decoder, or the audio output of a Laserdisc player or VCR. Tape Record/Playback Conncetions Connect the PLAY jacks of your P/LD-2000 to the LINE OUTPUT jacks of the analog deck and connect the REC jacks of your P/LD-2000 to the LINE INPUT jacks at the deck. Make sure you connect inputs and outputs of the right and left channels consistently, otherwise channels will be exchanged when you replay a tape you had recorded through this system. The tape jacks of the P/LD-2000 are not switched as a monitor for simultaneous comparisons of recording to source. Output Connections Unbalanced Output Connections There are two pairs of unbalanced output jacks on the rear panel of your P/LD-2000. One pair is direct with fixed polarity output and the other is normal with polarity switchable by a precision relay. Balanced Output Connections Use the balanced output to connect your P/LD-2000 to a power amplifier with balanced inputs such as the Parasound HCA-2200II. Connecting a Signal Processor to Your P/LD-2000 You can patch a signal processor between the output of the P/LD-2000 and your power amplifier. Make sure that the signal processor can accept the full level of the P/LD-2000 without overloading. You should also adjust the gain controls of your amplifier, processor, and the P/LD-2000 for the lowest noise level.
