Proper Grounding
An important subject to consider is the use of ground pins. There are two
pins labeled GND. Pin 7 is the signal ground and must be connected to the
distant device to complete the circuit. Pin 1 is the chassis ground, but it
must be used with care. The chassis is connected to the power ground
through the green wire in the power cord and must be connected to be in
compliance with the electrical code.
The problem is that when units are connected to different electrical outlets,
there may be several volts of difference in ground potential. If pin 1 of each
device is interconnected with the others via cable, several amperes of
