table into the L PHONO 1 INPUT jack.

table into the R PHONO 1 INPUT jack.

table into the L PHONO 2 INPUT jack.

table into the R PHONO 2 INPUT jack.
Plug the AC power cable from the turntable into the red
unswitched POWER outlet on the rear panel. The red
receptacle is on at all times. It is necessary to turn off the
turntable with its own AC power switch. This arrangement
protects the turntable.
The four black AC power outlets are controlled by the
front panel POWER switch. Use these outlets for a tuner,
tape recorder, etc.
GROUND CONNECTION
A single ground post is provided. Grounds for turntables,
record changers, tape decks, etc. are to be connected to
this post. The left and right program cables and the ground
wire from that source should be wound or twisted together.
To avoid hum make sure the ground wire does not make
any connections to the shields of the left and right program
cables between the program source and the C 27.

to the L TUNER INPUT jack.
Connect the cable from the "right" channel tuner output
to the R TUNER INPUT jack.

a TV set or a tape recorder can be connected to the AUX 1

as for the tuner input.

Connect a cable from the L TAPE 1 OUTPUT jack to the
left high level input of the tape recorder.
