the SPX2000.
1 Protect your monitor system
Before you turn on the power of the SPX2000, turn off
the power of the device that is connected to the [OUT-
PUT] jacks (Y) or [AES/EBU OUT] jack (W). Also

NOTE: If you are inputting/outputting analog signals, you must
set the [INPUT –10 dBu/+4 dBu] switch (

) and the [OUTPUT
–10dBu/+4dBu] switch (
Z
) appropriately for the signal level of
the connected devices.
You must turn off the power of all devices before you
make connections.
Turn the power on
NOTE:To prevent high-volume noise from being out-
put from your speakers, turn on the power starting
with the device that is closest to the audio source.

power amp
Reverse this order when turning the power off.
