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.

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.
