They come in either Monaural or Stereo. The Monaural unit has a 1/8” stereo plug (for portable systems such as the MZ-R700).
The Stereo unit has either a 1/8” stereo plug (for portable systems such as the MZ-R700) or 2 RCA plugs (for component systems such as the MXD-D40) on a short lead which connect to the minidisc player. Please specify which MiniDisc™ you have and with which Hilton your booster will be used with so that we may help you select the correct stereo model.
MiniDisc® Hookup Strategies for Hilton Sound Systems by Bill Heyman Download Hookup Information (MS Word Doc file)
It's really easy to get confused about hooking up MiniDisc® players to various sound systems. First some comments on the necessity of using a Signal Booster and then on to cable hookups!
SIGNAL BOOSTERS:
Signal boosters are needed for PLAYBACK (only) on Hilton sound systems which use an 89 series cartridge/needle. These are the ones which look like a small torpedo (pictured right). The newer needles used on all "C" Series units as well as all recent models do not require the use of a signal booster.
Designed to increase the lower-than-normal signal output from Sony MiniDisc® players (and work well with other devices) Hilton Signal boosters increase the audio output level into your Hilton sound system. They come in either Monaural or Stereo.
The Monaural (pictured right - $59.95) unit has a 1/8" stereo plug (for portable systems such as the MZ-R700 or MZ-R90/55).
The Stereo (pictured left - $49.95) unit has either a 1/8" stereo plug (for portable systems such as the MZ-R700 or MZ-R90) or 2 RCA plugs (for component systems such as the MDS-940) on a short lead which connect to the minidisc player. Please specify which MiniDisc® you have and with which Hilton your booster will be used so that we may help you select the correct stereo model.
CABLES & ADAPTERS:
It's important to have adequate cables and adapters to ensure that connect to all systems. The following four cables and adapters should cover all Hilton sound system inputs and outputs.
Stereo / Stereo Cable: 1/8" (3.5mm Mini Stereo (M) / 1/8" Mini Stereo (M) (#182970)
Dubbing Cable: 1/8" Mini Stereo (M) / RCA Phono Stereo (2 x M) (#183190)
RCA Phono 'Y' Adapter: Two RCA jacks (F) and one RCA plug (M) (#18002)
RCA Phono / 1/4" Phone 'Y' Adapt: Two RCA jacks (F) and one 1/4" Phone plug (M)(#18006)
HILTON INPUT FOR MD PLAYBACK:
Hilton 75A or B: Use RCA mono "Music Monitor" jack on the back for both input and output. It is recommended that you ignore "Music Only" RCA jack on dashboard and the "Tape Record" jack on the rear panel.
Hilton 300A, B or C: Use 1/4 "Tape Playback" jack under the tone arm on the top.
Hilton 201: Use "Aux Music/Music" RCA mono input jack in the "Music Section" of the front dashboard.
Hilton100/205/500: Use 1/8" Stereo cable to the "Aux Music/Music" input in the "Music Section" of the front dashboard.
HILTON OUTPUT TO MD RECORDING:
Hilton 75A or B: On these older models, use the RCA "Music Monitor" jack on the back (which functions for both input and output). It is recommended that you ignore the "Music Only" RCA jack on front dashboard as well as the "Tape Record" jack on the rear panel.
Hilton 300A, B or C: Use "Tape Record" jack on the rear of the unit to the Microphone Input of your MiniDisc. The Hilton 300A, B or C units are not good combinations for MiniDisc recording.
Hilton 201: Use single RCA mono jack" in the "Music Section" of the dashboard
Hilton100/205/500: RCA jack "Aux Out" in the "Music Section" of the dashboard
