● Connect the main analogue output of the preamplifier to the
565 ANALOGUE INPUT, using high-quality screened cable.
● Connect analogue sources to the preamplifier.
● In addition, connect any digital and optical source directly to
the 565.
For example, if your CD player provides both an analogue output
and digital output, you will get better performance by connecting
the digital output directly to the 565.
● If you are using a 501/501V configure it to Type 1 and set the
volume control option to Fout (fixed output).
