5P – E cable to connect the turntable to the amplifier. You can substitute the interconnect cables supplied

amplifier if you wish. Use the Phono input (sometimes labelled gram, disc or RIAA) on your amplifier.
Make sure that the phono input offers correct matching and amplification for the type of cartridge used.
Line inputs (like CD, Tuner, Tape or Video) are not suitable.
Take care about connecting the left and right channel correctly. The

If your amplifier does not have an input suitable for phono cartridges, a separate phono amplifier stage
for MM or MC cartridges is required. It has to be connected between record player and a free line level
input of the amplifier.
