Default Phono Plug Uses

I've misplaced the manual to an AIWA NSX-5777 music centre.

What is the purpose of the Line Out sockets, is Line Out an
unamplified signal as opposed to the various speaker outputs which I
assume are amplified.




Line Out is a signal at line level which is *unaffected* by the amplifier's
Tone, Volume, Balance &c. controls and is used to feed a 'Slave Amplifier'
or active subwoofer as in page 6 of this .pdf manual for the currently
available Acoustic Solutions SP101 amplifier:

....which is no *power house* but a perfectly useful and very versatile
little amp for only 60 nicker from Argos!!

I use mine to 'gather' signals and route them to a valve amp via the Line
Out. The only downside is that there is no 'remote volume control' going
this way and the amp has to be on (with Speakers Off) to enable
switching....
