CONNECTIONS
Connecting audio and video components
CAUTION
• Do not connect this unit or other components to the main power until all connections between components are complete.
• All connections must be correct: L (left) to L, R (right) to R, “+” to “+” and “–” to “–”. Also, refer to the owner’s manual for each of
your components.
• Use the RCA type pin plug cables for audio and video components except speakers.
y
• The PHONO jacks are designed to connect a turntable with an MM or high-output MC cartridge. If you have a turntable with a low-
output MC cartridge, use an in-line boosting transformer or an MC-head amplifier when connecting your turntable to the PHONO
jacks.
• Connect your turntable to the GND terminal to reduce noise in the signal. However, you may hear less noise without the connection to
the GND terminal for some record players.
