Preparations
Shows you how to connect your audio components to the
receiver.
We've tried to make setting up your system as easy as
possible. However, since this receiver works with all of your
audio components, connecting the system can be fairly
complex.

New “TRAIT“ transistor Specifications ....................................................... 20
The new developed “TRAIT” transistor with extremely supe-
rior temperature characteristics is used in this amplifier‘s
amplification circuit. Through the use of this transistor, distor-
tion generated because of temperature change is kept to a
minimum resulting in “pure” sound reproduction.
