PHONO LINE INPUT 1 / continued
If you are using an external phono pre-amplifier, similar to a Rega Fono MM or Aria,
use the (line 1, button pressed ‘in’) input sockets on the right. IMPORTANT Do not
connect a line level source or external phono amplifier to the phono sockets on the
left, as this is a low-level, dedicated turntable & tonearm input. When using these
inputs for the first time, turn the volume to minimum and gradually increase the level
to make sure the signal is ok and not excessive, distorted or muddy sounding (which
would be the case if the incorrect input has been used for a line level signal).
Switching of line input 1 is performed by a high specification relay.
EARTHING OF TONEARMS
For Rega turntables, earthing is achieved via the Phono socket ground so a separate
earth is not necessary. However, if your tonearm needs to be earthed to the
amplifier, the grounding tag may be connected to the grounding nut on the left hand
side of the back panel. Please see the ‘Rear Panel Connectivity’ illustration found on
page 5
of this manual.
