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.
