Note
For information regarding the connection procedure, refer
to “Connections” (page19).
A.
PHONO jacks
RCA and XLR-type jacks. If the INPUT selector is set
to PHONO, the signals at the RCA-type PHONO jacks
will be the input source. If the INPUT selector is set to
PHONO BAL, the signals at the XLR-type PHONO jacks
will be the input source.
Your preamplier comes with a shorting plug installed on
each RCA-type PHONO input jack. If you are planning
to connect an external component to these jacks, remove
the shorting plugs. For more information, refer to
“Connecting a turntable” (page 22).
PHONO
CAUTION
Handle the shorting plugs carefully. Do not allow children
to play with the shorting plug; otherwise they might
swallow it.
NOTICE
• Shorting plugs are intended for unused INPUTS ONLY;
using them on OUTPUTS can cause serious damage to
your components.
• If you are planning not to use the RCA-type PHONO input
jacks, insert the shorting plugs into the jacks to prevent
random static or noise from degrading the audio signal.
B.
SIGNAL GND (ground) terminal
If you connect your turntable to the RCA-type PHONO
input jacks, also connect the turntable to this terminal.
Doing so may reduce noise.
