CONNECTING THE C 26 to POWER AMPLIFIERS

Connect the MAIN output jacks to the input of a

stereo power amplifier. The L jack is connected

to the left amplifier input jack. The R jack is con-

nected to the right amplifier input jack.

The output impedance at the MAIN output is 200

ohms. Longer cables than are supplied can be

connected between the C 26 and the amplifiers.

The length of the cable is limited by the capacity

of the cable. The total capacity must not exceed

1,000 pF. For instance: cables with a capacity of

25 pF per foot may be 40 feet long. 13.5 pF per

foot cable may be 75 feet long. The input imped-

ance of the amplifiers should be 47,000 ohms or

greater.

CTR OUTPUT (L + R)

Use the CTR output to feed left plus right signal

to a separate power amplifier for monophonic

background music or for a center channel speaker.

AC POWER OUTLETS

There are 4 black AC power outlets, and one red

AC outlet. The power to the black AC power out-

lets is controlled by the front panel switch. Use

these outlets for a tuner, tape recorder, etc. The

red receptacle is on at all times. Use the red outlet

for a turntable or record changer. The turntable or

record changer is protected by this arrangement.

It is necessary to turn off the turntable or record

changer with its own AC power switch.

GROUND CONNECTION

A single ground post is provided. Grounds for

turntables, record changers, tape decks, etc.

should be connected to this post. The left and

right program cables and the ground wire from

that source should be wound or twisted together.

To avoid hum, make sure the ground wire does

not make any connections to the shields of the left

and right program cables between the program

source and the C 26.
