Before you do that, take a few minutes to plan out how you want the Preamplifier Tuner to fit into your audio system. Keep the following suggestions in mind: · List all components in your system and indicate which jacks of the Preamplifier Tuner each component will be connected to. Your Preamplifier Tuner has six sets of inputs. It is convenient to connect a DVD player to the input labeled DVD or a VCR to the input labeled V1 or TAPE, etc. However, your equipment may differ from the labeling on the back of your Preamplifier Tuner. In most cases you can connect any type of source to any input. For example, if you have a satellite receiver you can connect it to V2. You can also reprogram the source name that will appear on your Preamplifier Tuner's front panel. · Also note the length of the cable for each component's connection and describe how it should be routed. You may want to label each cable with a name or number at both ends. Use high quality connections to maintain high quality audio. · Think about the type and length of cable you need and obstacles in the cable's path (doorways, furniture, walkways, etc.). To decide which ones are right for you talk to your dealer about the various cable products that are available. · For safety, keep all cables out of high traffic areas (hallways or doorways) and away from equipment that radiates power, including amplifiers, power cords, heaters, etc. · If you might expand your audio system later, keep these ideas in mind as you plan current cable runs. · To provide the best tuner reception, make sure the antenna is at least 6 ft away from the Preamplifier Tuner and any other equipment that may produce high frequency interference such as Personal computers, CD players, halogen lamps, etc. SOURCE CONNECTIONS To connect your analog sources to your Preamplifier Tuner, take a look at the back panel. You will notice that the RCA-type audio input and output connectors are identified by colors, RED for right channel and WHITE for the left channel audio. Reference 5 S2 Source Inputs Audio source Input - To connect a source such as a CD player to the Preamplifier Tuner's analog inputs, use the analog left and right outputs from the CD player. Attach one end of the audio interconnect cable to the left (White) audio output on the CD player, then attach the other end to the left (white) CD audio input on the Preamplifier Tuner. Repeat for the right (red) audio connection. Use theses same instructions for connecting to other audio sources such as a DVD, television, satellite receiver, cable box, etc. SOURCE INPUTS CD DVD TV V2 V1 Connect to CD Player Left and Right Output 05 1:23:45 TAPE or audio recorder - Connect a cassette deck or other recording device to TAPE OUTPUT.

The Reference 5 S2 can be controlled either from the supplied IR remote controller, the CK1.2 Keypad or directly from the front panel buttons. POWER ON/OFF The master power switch located on the front panel of your Preamplifier Tuner must be "ON" (pressed in) for the Preamplifier Tuner to operate. When this switch is OFF (pressed out) all power is removed from your Preamplifier Tuner. This will prevent turning it back on with the remote control or keypad. For normal day to day operation, leave the master power switch in the ON position. Use the ON/STANDBY function for daily power on and off. This will allow the Preamplifier Tuner to be turned on and off from the remote control or keypad. Whenever turning on the master power switch, you must wait approximately 10 seconds while your Preamplifier Tuner restores its internal memory and initialize system parameters. You may want to turn off the master power switch only when your Preamplifier Tuner will be idle for extended periods of time or during periods of power line fluctuations. Your Preamplifier Tuner will not lose its memory while the master power switch is off. ON/STANDBY For normal day to day operation, you will put your Preamplifier Tuner in STANDBY when not in use. Standby mode keeps a bare minimum of functions running in order to allow a remote control or keypad to quickly power up the unit. Note that the front panel ON/STANDBY button is lit while your Preamplifier Tuner is in standby and is not lit when your Preamplifier Tuner is operating. The front panel alphanumeric display is off during standby. Also note that the supplied IR remote's POWER button is a toggle. The remote control or keypad additionally has discrete power OFF and ON buttons. ADJUSTING VOLUME The front panel "VOLUME" control knob is known as an encoder. This is because it also has the ability to control functions other than volume. Other functions include, BASS, TREBLE, BALANCE, etc. Normally the encoder knob will control volume. Volume can also be adjusted using the remote control or a keypad. The volume can be adjusted up or down. CHOOSING A SOURCE The Reference 5 S2 has the ability to select any of the eight possible source inputs. The names of the sources are default labeled for V1, V2, TV, DVD, CD, FM, AM and TAPE. These labels can be adjusted and changed using either the BKcSuite setup software or the Reference 5 S2 front panel. FM and AM cannot be changed. Even though the inputs are specifically labeled for source names, it does not matter what source is connected to each input. The label (name) of the input can be changed (See page 13 for label change procedure). A source can be selected from the remote control or a keypad if it is connected. A source can also be selected from the front panel using the source button. The source button will step through each of the source inputs. If a recording device (such as a tape recorder) will be used to record audio material, it should be connected to the TAPE OUT RCA connectors. The TAPE OUT will output only the audio source that the user has been selected to listen to. This way an analog audio "tape" recording can be made of any device connected to the Reference 5 S2. ADJUSTING BALANCE The audio balance can be adjusted left to right or visa versa using the BAL (L) or BAL (R) on the remote control. The balance adjustment will adjust the gain per each side (left or right) of the stereo output. 10 UNIT OPERATION ADJUSTING BASS, TREBLE AND LOUDNESS
