3) BYPASS INPUTS:
If the CONTINUUM is
installed in a home theater or sound system,
the Left Front and Right Front output connec-
tions from the surround processor should be
installed in the BYPASS input connections.
The CONTINUUM will only accept unbal-
anced RCA interconnects from the surround
processor.
NOTE:
If an external surround sound processor is not
connected, install RCA “shorting” plugs to both bypass
inputs.
(4) UNBALANCED LINE OUTPUTS:
The
CONTINUUM also has one pair of RCA
unbalanced line level outputs. Use these
outputs if your amplifier does not accept
balanced inputs. Also, these outputs can be
used simultaneously with the balanced inputs
to feed a second amplifier (subwoofer, etc.)
(2) BALANCED INPUTS:
If you are using
balanced XLR interconnects from your
source components, they should be
con nect ed to balanced INPUTS 3 and 4.
A slight mechanical click may be heard
when the balanced XLR interconnect cables
are correctly installed and locked into the
rear panel connector. The unlocking tab
must be pressed to disconnect the XLR
interconnect cable from the amplifier. The
XLR inputs may be left open if unused. Any
XLR input can be converted to an RCA input
by installing an XLR to RCA adapter, available
from your JRDG dealer.
NOTE:
Pin 2 of each XLR connector is signal positive
with respect to each RCA input. Also, JRDG recom-
mends balanced cables as the preferred method of
interconnection.
(5) BALANCED LINE OUTPUTS:
The
CONTINUUM has one pair of balanced amplifier
line level outputs. For best results, use these
outputs to connect to your power amplifier
whenever possible. If two sets of single-ended
outputs are required then the balanced line
outputs can be converted to single-ended
RCA outputs. JRDG recommends a single-
ended adaptor box (Model PC-2XR) available
from Jensen Transformers,
www.jensen-transformers.com.
NOTE:
Pin 2 of each XLR connector is signal positive with
respect to each input and each unbalanced output.
(6) GROUND LUG THUMBSCREW:
This
connection is reserved for units with the
optional phono section installed. When
connecting a turntable, the ground or earth
lead should be connected to the Ground
Lug Thumbscrew to eliminate any ground
noise in the system.
NOTE:
Do NOT install RCA “shorting” plugs in the
unbalanced line outputs.
