Audio inputs

Although the inputs are labelled for specific devices, all
have the same characteristics and each may be used with
any line-level product. The exception is the
PHONO (MM)
input (see page 12 for the specification).
AV
Intended for the analogue outputs from general audio-
visual equipment, such as a VCR or digital TV/satellite
receiver
PVR
Intended for the analogue outputs from a Personal
Video Recorder, or similar device.
BD
Intended for the analogue outputs from a Blu-ray or
DVD-player.
SAT
Intended for the analogue outputs from a satellite TV
receiver or cable TV box.
TUNER
Intended for the analogue outputs from an FM, AM or
DAB radio tuner.
CD
Intended for the analogue outputs from a CD player.
AUX
This is a 3.5mm analogue input on the front panel
intended for use with devices such as MP3 players. To
connect an MP3 player (or other portable audio device)
you will need a 3.5mm to 3.5mm cable connected
between the input and the headphone output socket
AUX
of the player.

Phono input

Phono-level input
The A19 provides a pre-amplification stage to treat
the low-voltage output from a MM (moving magnet)
cartridge. Input specifications are given on page 12.
Output volume is shown on the front display as
PHONO 20, for example.
Line-level phono input
The phono input may be changed from phono-level to
line-level. Press the front panel and
PHONO BALANCE
buttons simultaneously and use the control knob to
change the setting. The front panel display shows
LINE- OFF (i.e. phono) or LINE- ON respectively.
If you wish to use an external phono amplifier, connect
its output to the input, but make sure that
PHONO (MM)
LINE- ON is selected, since a phono amplifier produces
line-level input.
With the input defined in this way, output volume is
shown on the front display as LINE 20, for example.

Record output

The A19 is equipped with an audio recording loop
which may be used with recording devices such as a CD
recorder, DAT recorder, cassette recorder, VCR or PVR.
Connect the output socket to the input
RECORD OUT
socket of your recording device (usually labelled
or ).
IN
To record from a particular source, press the appropriate
source button (for example, ).
TUNER

Pre-amplifier output

To use your A19 as a dedicated pre-amplifier, or as part
of a bi-amp' e d system, connect the sockets to
PRE OUT
the input sockets of your power amplifier.
See page 9 for connection details and see page 12 for the
output specification.
