Connections
Terminal Window: This opening will allow you to seal off a digital audio wireless device but still have access to the
terminals. If there are heat concerns then leave the entire storage bay panel off.
Voltage switching: For international use. Unplug the Nova before you make the switch and be sure to use the
proper fuse for the voltage chosen. **warning ** Improper voltage setting may cause damage to the Nova.
AC power cord attachment & Fuse: The three prong power cord is included in the Nova box. Fuse is user replaceable after
turning the Nova off. You may call your dealer or Signal Path’s service department with any questions regarding fuse re-
placement. **warning ** using the wrong value fuse may cause damage to the Nova and is a potential safety re hazard.

3.5mm IR Remote input and output

Preamp output: to connect the Nova to an external amplier or to a subwoofer. The Nova amplier is still active
when the preamp output is used.
Digital lter slope: user selectable DAC lter slopes allow for a sharp slope which measures better and a soft slope
that is preferred by many audiophiles.
Line level output: This xed output will allow the user to feed the Nova’s sources in to another preamp input.
Aux 1: for analog line level sources
Speaker terminals: The speaker terminals are clearly marked red-positive
and black-negative for proper polarity connections.
Storage Bay: You can store a digital audio wireless device like the Sonos
ZP80 or the Linksys Music Bridge in this compartment. There may be con-
cerns about reduced wireless range or heat buildup, though that has not been
our experience. If either happens, you should remove the device to see if you
get better results.

*The Home Theater Bypass is used when you want to integrate the
Nova in to a Home Theater system that has Preamp outputs on the sur-
round processor.. First you should turn down the volume. Then you
take the Front left and Right preamp outputs from your Home Theater
processor and plug them in to the Aux3/HT Left and Right inputs. Next
you activate the HT button next to the Aux3 input. At this point you are
bypassing the preamp stage of the Nova and using the Nova’s amplier
to power your left and right front speakers in your home theater. You
will also have 2 Aux inputs for analog sources such as an iPod or a CD
player. This feature allows you to have a large number of digital inputs
integrated in to your Home Theater setup.
