HOOKING UP SOURCES TO THE MD 308
1. Using your RCA cables, plug the other source into one of the inputs marked in
the back of the MD 308.
2. Set the input on the receiver to match the input on the rear of the unit that the
other source is plugged into.
3. With volume set to zero, power up the new source, initialize the playback, and
slowly adjust volume to desired level.
CAUTION
As standard practice, you should always turn off the main power to the MD 308
(found on the rear panel of the MD 308), whenever any source component,
interconnect or loudspeaker is being changed in your system.
Be aware, when activating Home Theater mode on input A4, the volume level on
input A4 will be wide open. Please make sure that the RED LED above the input
button is not lit if a regular source is connected to input A4.
SET UP THE MD 308 WITH AN EXTERNAL HOME THEATER
PROCESSOR
The MD 308 is equipped with a unity gain input (A4 Input on the Pre-Amplifier
section). This is a switchable input, meaning the input can be used as a normal pre-
amplifier input or in unity gain mode.
To Connect to a Home Theater Processor
1. Turn the power off to the MD 308 by the main power switch on the rear of the
unit.
2. Connect your theater processor Main Left and Right interconnects into the MD
308 through the A4 input.
3. Connect your Main Left and Right speakers to the MD 308 speaker connections.
4. Power up the MD 308 by switching the main power rocker switch found on the
rear of the MD 308, to the “ON” position.
5. Press and HOLD the
“Input” button (found on the faceplate of the MD 308) for at
least 3 seconds. A red LED above the input button will light, and this indicates
that the theater mode of input A4 is now active.
