Electrical connections
By choosing the appropriate THORENS mains
transformer this record player can be operated from
nearly all existing public mains supplies. The
low-voltage plug on the cable that is coming from
the mains transformer unit is to be inserted into
jack 17 (Fig. 4) at the rear side of the record
player.
The stereo signal leads have two phono plugs which
are also known as "Cinch" or RCA-plugs. They are
marked with either the letter "L" for the left
channel or "R" for the right channel. lf these letters
are missing then most likely the right channel is
marked red, perhaps by featuring a red plug at both
ends, and the left channel is marked white or black
accordingly. The RCA-plugs are inserted into the
Fig.3
phono input jacks of an amplifier or receiver. The
separate single litz-wire is making a connection to
ground and is to be fastened underneath the ground
screw of the amplifier or receiver.

IMPORTANT!
ALWAYS KEEP THE SHIPPING CARTON IN A DRY PLACE FOR THE EVENT THAT THE RECORD
PLAYER HAS TO BE PACKED AGAIN FOR TRANSPORTATION.
IN THIS CASE IT IS IMPORTANT TO DETACH THE PLATTER AND PUT IT ON THE BOTTOM OF
THE SHIPPINGBOX, JUST AS IT WAS ORIGINALLY DELIVERED TO YOU.
