Setting up the SL1200
Setting up your Model 1200 is a simple procedure. Refer to the diagram
above.
1 Attach the power cord that came with the unit to the AC POWER IN
receptacle on the back of the unit. Keep the power OFF until you finish
making all of the connections.
2 Connect the US cable between your PC or Mac and your stereo-link. The
two ends of the cable have different connectors, so it can only be connected

IMPORT NT NOTE: Use only US cables rated for “FULL SPEED”
with this product. If the cable supplied with your unit contains a ferrite,
you need to use this ferrite in order to comply with FCC requirements.
Generally, a US cable is limited to a maximum length of 5 meters
(approx 16.5 ft). If you need to extend the distance further, it is best to
use a US Hub between each 5 meter length of cable. (NOTE: The stereo-
link is self powered; it does not draw any power through the US cable. If
you are using the hub only with the stereo-link unit, this means you can
NOTE: The audio cable which connects the stereo-link to your
receiver/amplifier can be much longer than the US cable. However, you
should use only good quality shielded cable for very long runs. Visit the
stereo-link Website and click on PRODUCTS, then ACCESSORIES to
see what optional cables are available.
TIP: You can position the 1200 vertically to save space.
3 Using the RCA audio cables included with the SL1200, or similar high
quality cables, connect the audio outputs (labeled R & L) to a line level input
on your amplifier or receiver (usually labeled as AUX, CD, DVD, etc). The
PHONO jacks should NOT be used.
- Connect a pair of headphones to the jack on the front panel whenever you
want to listen privately.
