User manual

Use the supplied RCA phono cable to connect the

turntable output to the phono input of your ampliﬁer.

Check that all plugs are connected with the correct po-

larity. ➔ Fig. 9

In accordance with RIAA standards, vinyl records are

cut with pre-emphasis. The operation of a turntable

therefore requires the use of a phono stage for equal-

isation. If your amplier does not have a phono input,

you will need to connect a dedicated phono stage

such as the Thorens MM 001 or MM 005 between

the turntable and the amplier. Please contact your

Thorens dealer or distributor for further advice.

The earth wire is used to establish an electrical con-

nection to earth. Connect the wire to the earth screws

on the turntable (➔ Fig. 9, indicated by an arrow) and the

ampliﬁer. If your ampliﬁer does not have an earth screw,

you can attach the wire to the side of an unused input

socket.

If you can hear a hum in the speakers that increases

as you increase the overall volume, then the earth

connection may be faulty. Make sure that the earth

wire is rmly connected. If the problem persists, try

connecting the wire to a different spot.
