Analogue Connections
CD>
The Pyxis’ unbalanced (phono/cinch sockets) CD input should be connected directly to the analogue outputs (usually
marked left/right and colour coded white/red) of the CD player. DO NOT connect any available digital outputs from the
CD player to any the Pyxis analogue input terminals since damage to loudspeakers is likely to occur. The two BALANCED
XLR-3 sockets are provided to cater for CD players with balanced outputs. These should be connected directly to the
balanced analogue outputs of the CD player (usually marked left/right).
CD Mode
Above the CD input sockets the CD two position CD MODE miniature toggle switch determines whether the unbal-
anced (left position) or balanced (right position) inputs will feed the pre-amplifier when CD is the selected input.
Tuner>
The Tuner input should be connected directly to the analogue inputs (usually marked left/right and colour coded white/
red) of the TUNER.
AUX>
The Pyxis’ AUX input is intended for direct connection to any device equipped with line-level stereo outputs (-10dB).
Some devices such as MP3 or other portable digital players have a comparatively low output which will require the
Pyxis volume control to be set at a higher position than would normally be required.
MP3
On the left-hand side of the front panel a 3.5mm stereo jack is provided for convenient connection to MP3 players and
similar devices. This socket is wired in parallel with the rear panel AUX phono sockets.
AV DIR>
WARNING: The AV DIRECT input must not be used with sources that are not equipped with an independentvolume
control e.g. most CD players and DVD players. This input is designed for use only with an external surround sound
processor equipped with volume control over its line level outputs.
