Gray, I was in error: Roberts' technical department told me two weeks ago to connect the Internet radio to an amplifier by way of (a) the line-out socket on the radio (not the radio's headphone socket, as I previously reported) and then (b) in the case of the Denon, to "the L & R sockets on the...

Thanks for your help, "nopiano". The Internet radio source is a Robert Internet radio. I got in touch with Roberts and they said I should connect the radio to the amp by taking a line from the headphone socket on the radio to the amplifier, but they didn't specify which sockets to use on...

I currently have my Internet radio routed into my Denon PMA-600NE amplifier by way of the two (L&R) PHONO sockets and the resulting sound is very good. But am I using the best sockets for Internet radio? The two AUX sockets are free. Should I be using them? There's no guidance on where...

Ha, ha! Yes! I'm sure that'd be the case. I have to say that for £359 ("Peter Tyson", Carlisle, matched the cheapest price elsewhere) the quality of sound of this Denon is magnificent. Even music bluetoothed to it (from two rooms beyond the living-room, where the Denon is) is magnificently...

Re. my third question re. the apparent loading of "balance" on the left speaker at the expense of the right speaker, this afternoon I did numerous tests: swapping over the leads from the amp's left and right outputs; attaching different speakers; attaching different wires; and testing the two...

Yes, sure, by way of my experience of the Source Direct button, and by what the manual confirms, as follows: "Adjusting the tone: 1 Press SOURCE DIRECT on the main unit to turn off source direct mode. The SOURCE DIRECT indicator turns off. 2 Turn the BASS, TREBLE and BALANCE knobs to adjust the...

Yes! Gray, that's clever. Of course that's the thing to do! I will try that tomorrow. Gray, even if Denon say "Send it back to us!" do you think I should just stick with the amp as it is? I agree that as the amp is at present, having to turn the Balance Control 75% to the right to get...

Yes, regardless of whatever is the source, having "Direct Source" switched on diverts about 75% of the volume to the left speaker. (It's just struck me that this may relate to my having to turn the Balance Control about 75% towards the right speaker when "Direct Source" is switched off. ) I...

I started out with Source Direct switched on, but found that nearly all the Balance was loaded onto the left speaker and that the sound coming from the left speaker was also heavily bassy, so I switched Source Direct off and then was able to lessen the level of bass and equalise the balance...

I'm very impressed with the high quality of sound produced by my new Denon PMA-600NE amplifier (bought last week from Peter Tyson), but before I can relax and enjoy it I would be most grateful for help with the following four questions, please. 1. The amp came with two "short-circuiting pin...
