700 Question

2006-09-22 by xamboldt

Hello Everyone,

I'm putting my '700 together, and I'm at the very last step, but  
something seems fishy. The instructions say to solder the white wire  
for the CV In jack to the left lug of the jack, which seems right to  
me. But then it says to solder the orange wire to the top  
(Normalling) lug of the jack. The normalling lug is also supposed to  
be connected to the beveled jack with a scrap resistor lead. My  
question is, when one plugs a cable into this jack, won't it  
disconnect ground from beveled jack? That seems wrong, doesn't it? Is  
it? Why wouldn't you connect the orange wire to the beveled lug of  
the jack? Is the beveled lug of the jack assumed to be grounded via  
the front panel?

-Chris
