PHONO terminals
These terminals are used to connect a turntable with an MM
or high-output MC cartridge. If you have a turntable with a
low-output MC cartridge, use an inline boosting transformer
or MC head amplifier when connecting to these terminals.

Connecting the ground (earth) wire of the turntable to the GND
terminal will normally minimize hum, but in some cases, better
results may be obtained with the ground wire disconnected.
