 S1-S5

These inputs are suitable for any ‘line level’ source equipment such as 

BD/DVD players, DAB or FM/AM tuners, CD players, Netwok Players, 

iPod docks, MP3 players, etc.
Note: These inputs are for analogue audio signals only. They should not 

be connected to the digital output of a CD player or any other digital 

device.

Connecting a turntable 

If it is desired to connect a turntable without a built-in phono stage, an 

external phono stage such as our 551P or 651P models should be used. 

Contact your Cambridge Audio dealer for more details.

Note:

 A very few turntables have built-in phono stages, in which case it is 

not necessary to use a separate phono stage amplifier. If you’re unsure, 

please consult your turntable user manual.

 Record Out

These output sockets can be connected to a tape deck or to the analogue 

Record In sockets on a MiniDisc or CD recorder.

3

 Loudspeaker terminals

Two sets of loudspeaker terminals are available, A (main loudspeaker  

terminals, left terminals) and B (secondary switchable loudspeaker 

terminals, right terminals). Connect the wires from your left channel 

loudspeaker to the LEFT positive and negative terminals, and the wires 

from the right channel loudspeaker to the RIGHT positive and negative 

terminals. In each case, the red terminals are the positive outputs and 

the black terminals are the negative outputs.
Care should be taken to ensure no stray strands of wire are shorting 

speaker outputs together. Please ensure that the loudspeaker terminals 

have been tightened adequately to provide a good electrical connection. 

It is possible for the sound quality to be affected if the screw terminals 

are loose.
The use of A and B speakers affords you an easy and inexpensive way 

to create a simple multi-room system.

Note: 

When using two pairs of speakers, use speakers with a nominal 

impedance of 8ohms.

4

 Mains voltage selector switch

Switches the mains voltage between 115V and 220-230V. For use by 

installer/dealer only.

5

 AC power socket

Once you have completed all connections to the amplifier, plug the AC 

power cable into an appropriate mains socket and turn the unit on. Your 

amplifier is now ready for use.

6

 USB interface

A  USB  B  type  socket  is  fitted  to  the  351A  to  enable  the  playback  of 

audio from a personal computer running either Microsoft Windows or 

Apple Mac OS X operating systems. Some distributions of Linux are also 

suitable.

Note:

  Always  use  a  certified  cable  for  USB  Audio  preferably  one  that 

displays an official mark. USB cable connections longer than 3m may 

result in inconsistent audio performance.

1

Always turn the Volume to minimum, switch to another 

input or turn the 351A off before plugging/unplugging 

cables to the USB input or whilst booting up/shutting 

down your PC/Mac.
