1.2) Input Connections (Standard configuration)
Input connections are accepted from two phono sources and one line-level source.
Connect cables from turntable(s) to Phono 1, Phono 2 or both.

1.2.1) Setting the Input Loading

The Input Loading switch packs are located on the back panel. Use a non-metallic
tool to set the switches (up=on; down=off).
Switch 1 controls Capacitive Loading, which is generally used with moving-
•
magnet cartridges and has little effect on moving-coil cartridges. Adjust switch 1
as follows: sw1off = 200pF; sw1on = 300pF.
Switches 2-8 control Resistive Loading, which is primarily used with lower-output
•
moving-coil cartridges.
Consult the chart below to find the setting that corresponds most closely to the
•
cartridge manufacturer's recommendations found in the Owner's Manual or at the
manufacturer's website.
Moving-magnet and high-output moving-coil cartridges use around 50,000 ohms.
•
Low-output moving-coil cartridges typically use 1,000 ohms or less.
•
Typically, a low-output moving-coil cartridge should be loaded to ten times its
•
output impedance. Thus cartridges with an internal impedance of less than ten
