Connection to the amplifier

The record player has gold plated female RCA phono sockets (13) for connection to the amplifier using the

supplied interconnect cables.
Use the Phono input (sometimes labelled gram, disc or RIAA) on your amplifier. Make sure that the phono
input offers correct matching and amplification for the type of cartridge used. Line inputs (such as CD, Tuner,
Tape or Video) are not suitable.
Take care to connect the left and right channels correctly. The right channel is usually marked red, the left

channel black or white. Check the manual supplied with your amplifier for relevant information. The earthing
wire of the tonearm lead should be connected to the earth terminal on your amplifier (if provided).
If your amplifier does not have an input suitable for phono cartridges you will require a separate phono
amplifier stage for MM or MC cartridges such as the Pro-Ject Phono Box or the Pro-Ject Tube Box which is then
connected between the record player and a free line level input of the amplifier.
