Plug the AC power cord of your tuner into one of. the AC convenience outlets located on the rear panel of the A-250 amplifier. Connecting Your Record Player: Any type of monaural record player may be used with this amplifier. If your player uses a low level magnetic cartridge plug it into either the RIGHT or LEFT CHANNEL MAGNETIC input. If you are using a monaural ceramic or crystal cartridge plug it into either the RIGHT or LEFT CER-XTAL input. Connecting Your Tape Player: Connect your monaural tape deck to either the RIGHT or I,EFT CHANNEL TAPE HD input jack. Connecting Your Tape Recorder: Since most monaural tape recorders have their own preamplifier, it is not desirable to plug the output of the recorder into the TAPE HEAD jack. This might cause overloading of the input stage. Connect the recorder output plug to either LEFT or RIGHT AUX 1 or AUX 2 jack on the rear panel. Connecting Your Tape Recorder To Make A Recording: Provision is made on your Model A-250 amplifier to permit the recording of any program material. Connect the input of your monaural tape recorder to either the LEFT or RIGHT TAPE OUT receptacle located on the rear panel. If the program source you desire to record is plugged into the left preamplifier channel, use the LEFT TAPE OUT jack and if it is plugged into the right preamplifier channel, use the RIGHT TAPE OUT jack. This will enable you to snake a recording with the proper recording equalization as determined by your recorder, while simultaneously monitoring the program with the proper tone control, contour and loudness setting. Connecting Auxiliary Monaural Equipment: A TV tuner or other similar device with high output level may be connected to either the LEFT or RIGHT AUX 1 or AUX 2 jack on the rear panel.
