Making Connection
INPUT:
Using the stereo pair of RCA/Ground Phono cables that
connect to your existing Turntable or Record Player,
connect the white RCA plug into the white (L) input
socket. Then connect the red RCA plug into the red
input socket (R).
GND - Where available.
Loosen the GND (Ground) terminal with your fingers
and insert the fork connector on the end of your ground
wire of your RCA Phono cables from your turntable or
record player under the screw terminal. Then tighten
the GND terminal securely by hand. Do not use tools
as this may overtighten and strip the threads.
If your ground wire does not have a fork connector
on the end, simply strip 5mm of insulation off the end
of the ground wire and twist the wire strands tightly.
You can then wrap the ground wire around the GND
terminal and tighten securely. The proper connection of
the ground wire is essential to prevent any hum through
your sound system.
CARTRIDGE TYPE:
Refer to the instructions or specifications that came
with your turntable or record player to determine which
cartridge type your player uses.
If your turntable uses a Moving Magnet type cartridge,
set the CARTRIGDE TYPE switch to ‘MM’.
If your turntable uses a Moving Coil type cartridge, set
the CARTRIGDE TYPE switch to ‘MC’.
OUTPUT:
Using a stereo pair of high quality standard RCA audio
cables, connect the white RCA plug into the white (L)
output socket. Then connect the red RCA plug into the
red output socket (R).
Then connect the other end of your RCA cables to a
suitable Line Input (AUX/CD/TAPE) on your existing
Amplier, Receiver, Mixer or other such music player.
