Connect the tone arm signal lead to the IN1. The earthing wire may be connected to the screw terminal if you
encounter hum problems when using the record player.
Connection to the speakers
The output terminals accept loudspeaker cables terminated with 4mm Banana plugs, spades connectors
or naked wire.
Mains power connection
The unit is supplied with a power supply suitable for your country's mains supply. Check the label before
connecting to ensure compliance with the mains rating in your house. Connect the low voltage plug from the
power supply to the Power 20V DC socket before connecting the power supply to the mains.
