Turntable Connections
(PHONO)
Connect the output feads of the turntable to the PHONO jacks.

will cause hum. Turntables not provided with GND wires do not
need to be connected.
1. Place the turntable on a firm shelf or deck free from vibrations
(especially those generated by the speaker system). If the
turntable is permitted to pick up such unwanted vibrations, not
only with the performance of the unit drop, but distortion in the
bass frequencies and howling in the speakers may also occur.
2. Check
the turntable instruction manual for any other precautions.
3. The loud noises that occur when connecting and disconnecting
the turntable leads, replacing the cartridge or lowering the
tonearm could damage the speakers. Always turn the power
switch off before making connections.
