CHAPTER 2
Turntable Connections
Only connect a Turntable to the
PHONO input. In most cases, you 
should also connect the ground wire 
to reduce any hum through your 
speakers.
The Phono input is designed 
for Moving Magnet (MM) 
cartridges and Moving Coil 
(MC) cartridges. To avoid overload, 
DO NOT connect CD players or other 
line-level sources to this input.
Phono-level audio signals 
From: Turntable L/R audio outputs
To: PreampliÞ er Phono L/R audio 
 inputs
Ground wire
From: Turntable chassis ground
To: PreampliÞ er chassis ground 
 connector
Set the Phono selector switch to
either MM or MC depending on the 
type of cartridge you have. Do this 
before you turn on the preampliÞ er.
If you have a low output Moving
Coil cartridge, set the switch to MC. If 
you have a high output Moving Mag-
net cartridge, set it to MM. If you are 
not sure which type of cartridge you 
have, try MM Þ rst, and do a listening 
test. If the noise level is high, try set-
ting the switch to MC.
