Refer to the instruction manual for the connected
component to find out the position of the HOT pin at the
balanced output jacks on the component.
Note
• Select NORMAL (pin #2 is HOT) for a Yamaha player.
• Do not use balanced and unbalanced connections for one
component simultaneously. Doing so would create a ground
loop that could generate static and noise.
• When connecting a cable, be sure to align the pins on the
connector with the holes on the jack, and then insert the
male XLR connector into the jack until you hear a click. To
remove the cable, while pressing and holding down the lever
on the BAL 1 or BAL 2 input jack, pull out the male XLR
connector from the jack.
