Digital audio input terminals [DIGITAL IN]
Connect any one of these terminals to the digital output
terminal of a digital device (SZ-1, UZ-1, etc.) using a
commercially available cable.
COAXIAL (RCA): Use RCA (pin) digital audio cable
OPTICAL: Use optical digital audio cable (TOS)
i.LINK (AUDIO): Use S400 compatible IEEE1394 6pin cable
<
The i.LINK (AUDIO) terminal is an interface that transmits
data both ways between the AZ-1 and an external device.
You don’t need to be concerned with distinguishing
between inputs and outputs.
<
The optical terminal is covered by a shutter. Make sure that
the cable is firmly inserted, but do not force the cable when
connecting it or removing it, in order not to cause damage
to the unit.
<
The COAXIAL (RCA) and OPTICAL terminals cannot transmit
the digital audio from Super Audio CDs.
< If Esoteric SZ-1 or UZ-1 is connected to the AZ-1 using an
i.LINK cable, the following setup will provide you with the
best quality sound:
i.LINK button: PCM
Digital Output setting: ON
Analog audio input terminals [LINE IN]
Used for the input of analog 2-channel audio signals from a
cassette tape deck, tuner, etc.
Connect the component with commercially-available RCA
cables.
Make sure to connect :
white plug q
white jack (L: left channel)
red plug q
red jack (R: right channel)

CAUTION:
<
Switch off the power to all equipment before making
connections.
< Read the instructions of each component you intend to use
with this unit.
< Be sure to insert each plug securely. To prevent hum and
noise, avoid bundling the signal interconnection cables
together with the AC power cord or speaker cables.
LINE3/PHONO terminal
In addition to a cassette tape deck or tuner, you can also
connect a turntable to this terminal.
Connect the ground lead of the turntable to the SIGNAL
GND terminal of the AZ-1. (But if low frequency noises are
heard, it might be better not to connect the ground lead.)
The cartridge of the turntable should be Moving Magnet or
similar.
LINE3/PHONO switch
Select PHONO when a turntable is connected to the
LINE3/PHONO terminal. Select LINE3 when a cassette tape
deck, tuner, etc. is connected to the LINE3/PHONO terminal.
SIGNAL GND connection
Use a commercially available PVC-covered cord to connect
the signal ground terminal on the unit to the player’s signal
ground.
<
Note that this is NOT an electrical safety ground (earth).
<
When a turntable is connected, make sure to connect the
ground lead of the turntable.
WORD SYNC output terminal
This sends out a sync signal (word).
Connect this to the WORD IN terminal of a digital device
such as the SZ-1, UZ-1, etc.
For connection, use a commercially available BNC coaxial
digital cable (75Ω impedance).
Power cord receptacle
After all other connections have been made, insert the
supplied AC power cord into this receptacle, then connect
the other end of the power cord into the wall socket. Ensure
that your AC voltage corresponds to the voltage marked on
the rear panel of the unit. Consult a qualified electrician if
you are in doubt.
<
In order to avoid the risk of electric shock, fire, and so on,
only use the supplied power cord.
<
If you are not going to use the unit for some time,
disconnect the power cord from the wall socket.
