1. TRIGGER OUTPUT
Allows a mono to mono 3.5mm cable to remotely trigger another device on and off, along with the USP-
1. Current is limited to 500mA, which is sufficient to trigger two devices. For triggering more devices,
you may want to use a separate triggering device, like the Emotiva ET-3.
2. PHONO INPUT Section (clockwise from top left)
• Phono Ground
• Left and Right channel RCA inputs
• MC/MM Switch. Use this switch to select your cartridge type. MC for Moving Coil or MM for
Moving Magnet.
3. AUDIO Section (from left to right)
• CD player inputs
• Tuner inputs
• Auxiliary 1 inputs – Suitable to connect to any audio device with Left and Right analog outputs.
• Auxiliary 2 inputs – Suitable to connect to any audio device with Left and Right analog outputs.
4. TAPE INPUT/OUTPUT
A tape loop is provided for recording 2-channel source material from a Cassette, DAT or a Hard Disk
Audio device with analog outputs.
5. HT INPUT (Home Theater)
Allows the USP-1 to connect to an external multi-channel/home theater processor. This connection is
disengaged when the USP-1 is in normal mode, but becomes active when the HT BYPASS button is
selected on either the USP-1 front panel or remote control. In HT BYPASS mode, this connection
becomes active and the USP-1 becomes a pass-through for the left, right, and subwoofer channels. This
is a true ‘straight wire’ pass-through – what comes in is what goes out. This signal is sent into the HT
Inputs (L,R, Sub), and is only present on the High Pass and Subwoofer Outputs.
NOTE: HT INPUTS are only active when the USP-1 is on.
ALL USP-1 functions become disabled in HT BYPASS mode, allowing the external processor to control
volume, EQ, etc.
