Connection to the Amplifier
This turntable uses a moving magnetic cartridge. Set the PHONO & Line Out Switch to PHONO mode. Connect
the phono output cables to the phono input on your amplifier or pre-amplifier (phono stage). Line inputs such as
CD, Tuner, Tape, or Video are not suitable for phono inputs. Make sure the amplification of the selected input
matches the type of cartridge being used. The factory installed cartridge is 47k ohms / MM-input.
NOTE: If your amplifier does not have an input suitable for phono cartridges, you will need to purchase a separate phono amplifier for
moving magnetic cartridges. This separate phono amplifier will then connect between your turntable and your amplifier.
Stereo System Connection
Set the PHONO & Line Out Switch to LINE mode. The RCA PHONO & Line Out Jacks generate analog line-level si-
gnals and could be connected directly to a pair of active/ powered speakers to the appropriate input of your stereo
system.
The Red plug connects to the Right channel and the White plug connects to the Left channel.
NOTE: The RCA Jacks are not designed to be connected directly to the passive/ unpowered speakers in LINE mode. If they are connec-
ted to the passive speakers, no sound will come out.
Main Power Connection
The power adaptor is in the foam packing material. Unpack the power adaptor and plug the small end into the DC
power jack located at the back side of the turntable. Plug the power adaptor into your power outlet.
