A
DC power input/output connectors (DC IN/DC OUT)
Use the included DC power cord to connect the DC power input
(DC IN) connector of the main unit with the DC power output
(DC OUT) connector of the power supply unit.
DC OUT e DC IN
o The power cord connected to the AC inlet should always be
unplugged from an outlet before the DC power cord is con-
nected or disconnected.
o The DC power cord has arrows printed on it. Connect it so
that the arrows point in the direction shown in the illustration
on page 8.
Check the orientation of the indentations, protrusions and
arrows of the DC power cord and hold it by its plug. Align
the marks on the plug to the connector and insert it. Turn the
ring clockwise to lock it. Reverse these procedures to discon-
nect it. When connecting or disconnecting the cord, do not
angle or wiggle the plug.
o Be careful not to pinch your fingers in the ring when con-
necting or disconnecting the DC power cord.
V
Never connect this to anything other than a
Grandioso T1 main unit.
Doing so could cause damage.
B
10MHz IN clock connector
Use this to input 10MHz clock synchronization signals.
To use clock synchronization, connect the clock output connec-
tor of the device outputting the clock signal to the 10MHz IN
clock connector on this unit. Then, set the external clock (CLK>)
setting to IN (page 22).
Use a commercially-available BNC coaxial cable for
connection.
o BNC coaxial cables with 50Ω or 75Ω impedance can be used.
C
SOFTWARE maintenance port
This is used for maintenance. Do not connect anything to this
port unless instructed to do so by our service department.
Connector
Align the indentations and pro-
trusions when connecting.
Turn the ring clockwise to lock it.
Plug
D
Phono cable
Use a commercially-available cable for connection.
Always connect the grounding wire of the phono cable to the
phono amplifier. Failure to connect it could result in ground hum
(audible noise) from the power supply.
E
SIGNAL GND grounding terminal
The audio quality might be improved by connecting this
grounding terminal to an amplifier or other device that is con-
nected to the Grandioso T1.
o This is not a safety grounding terminal.
If noise from speakers is conspicuous
If a ground wire is connected to the grounding terminal of the
Grandioso T1, disconnecting it could reduce noise. Use the
method (connected/disconnected) that has the least noise.
F
LED brightness adjustment knob
Use this to adjust the brightness of the power indicator.
G
AC power inlet (~IN)
Connect the included AC power cord to this AC inlet. After com-
pleting all other connections, plug the power plug into a power
outlet.
V
Use only a genuine ESOTERIC power cord. Use of
other power cords could result in fire or electric
shock.
V
Disconnect the power plug from the outlet if you
will not use the Grandioso T1 for a long time.
