Before connecting youi amplifier all components in the system must be unplugged at
the mains and the volume control of the amplifier set at zero.
When making stereo conneaions, RCA plugs and sockets coded white or black usually
indicate the LEFT channel and those coded red the RIGHT channel. In a sKteo pair
of sockets the upper socket is usually the Left Channel and the lower socket the Right.
If you are in any doubt, consult a qualified dealer.
Connecting a Turntable
Bejbre connecting the unit please read the instructions that came with your pickup
cartridge, turntable and tonearm. Ensure all active units in your system are switched off.
Signal coanecdoas: Most tonearms come with captive phono cables. If your turntable
has phono sockets you will need a steteo RCA cable. Connect the turntable phono
outputs to the Phono Inputs. Push the plugs firmly into place to make secure contaa.
Ensure the Left and Right channels are correedy connected.
Ground Connectionst Most turncable/tonearm combinations use a ground wire;
some use separate ground wires for turntable and tonearm. If your turntable has
phono socket outputs you may need as a ground wire a single length of stranded wire
the same length as the signal cables.
Connect the ground wire/s to the Input Ground terminal. Unscrew the ground
terminal p>an way and insert the spade connector under the terminal. If the cable does
not have a s|>ade connector, bare a short length of wire and insert this under the left
side of the terminal. T^hten firmly.
Note 1: Some turntables do not use a ground wire hut have a cartridge negative return
lead connected internally to the tumtable/tonearm chassis.
Note 2: Some cartridges have a negative sigrudpin linked to the metal cartridge body. If
the cartridge boefy contacts the tone arm metalwork via the connecting hardware this may
cause a hum loop. Consult your dealer before you remove this link.
Note 3: If you use a high capacitance RCA cable to connect a moving magnet cartridge to
the turntable input you may cause an audible peak in the high frequency response. If you
are in any doubt consult your dealer.
