Output Connections
[See Figure 2 for typical system connection illustration.]
Most power amplifiers have RCA-type input connectors that are
compatible with the outputs of the RQ-970. Connect a set of
cables between the outputs of the RQ-970 and one of the line level
inputs of the amplifier. As always, use high quality cables and be
sure to connect the Left and Right channel outputs of the RQ-970
to the correct channels of the amplifier.

Troubleshooting
Most difficulties in audio systems are the result of incorrect con-
nections, or improper control settings. If you encounter problems,
isolate the area of the difficulty, check the control settings, deter-
mine the cause of the fault and make the necessary changes. If
you are unable to get sound from the RQ-970, refer to the sugges-
tions for the following conditions:
Power Indicator Is Not Lit
The Power Indicator should be lit whenever the RQ-970 is plugged
into the wall power outlet and the power switch is turned on. If it
does not light, test the power outlet with another electrical de-
vice, such as a lamp. Be sure the power outlet being used is not
controlled by a switch that has been turned off.
No Sound
Be sure the phonograph is functioning properly. Check the wiring
from the back of the phono cartridge to the phonograph tone arm.
Make sure the cables from the phonograph to the RQ-970 inputs
are connected properly. Be sure the input selector on the control
preamplifier (or integrated amplifier or receiver) is set to the
proper input. Check all the other components in the signal path for
power and proper operation. If the system has a separate pream-
plifier and power amplifier, check the wiring between them. Also
check the wiring between the speaker outputs and the speakers.
