Connections
A
Grounding terminal ( )
Use the grounding wire of the included RCA audio cable
to connect this connector to the grounding terminal of
the amplifier, for example.
o This is NOT an electrical safety ground.
If noise from speakers is conspicuous
If connecting the grounding wire of the audio cable
to the grounding terminal of this unit does not reduce
noise, disconnect the grounding wire and check the
sound again. Use the method (connected/disconnected)
that has the least noise.
B
Analog audio output connectors (L/R)
These output analog audio signals.
The PHONO EQ switch setting changes the type of out-
put signal.
Use the included audio cable (or commercially-available
ones) to connect other equipment to the output connec-
tors of this unit.
C
PHONO EQ (audio output setting) switch
ON
Signals that have been amplified by the built-in equalizer
amp are output from the analog audio output connectors
(L/R).
THRU
The MC or MM cartridge signal is output directly through
the analog audio output connectors (L/R).
Connect to a device with phono inputs, such as a phono
equalization preamplifier or an amplifier with phono input
connectors.
o When shipped new from the factory, this is set to ON.
CAUTION
When set to ON, if connected to the PHONO inputs of
an amplifier, for example, the output from speakers and
headphones will be very loud, which could damage
equipment or harm hearing.
D
DC input connector
After completing all other connections, connect the
included AC adapter to this connector.
Confirm that the power plug of the AC adapter is
plugged into a power outlet.
o Do not use any AC adapter other than the one
included.
o The included AC adapter has plugs that can be
changed. Attach the plug that suits the region where
it is being used.

an AC outlet that supplies the correct
voltage. Connection to an outlet that
supplies incorrect voltage could cause
fire or electric shock.

ATTENTION
Depending on the condition of a record, the left-right
volume balance could become uneven and skipping
could occur.
In such cases, try making the following adjustments.
If the sound jumps backward (stylus skips backward)
Slightly lower the anti-skating dial setting.
If the sound jumps forward (stylus skips forward)
Slightly increase the anti-skating dial setting.
