preamplifier. Connect umbilical cables between the Reference Phono 10
Audio and power supply chassis. Twist outer ring to secure.
Plug three-prong power cord from rear of chassis into grounded A.C. wall
outlet. The Power switch defaults to ’off’ when the unit is plugged into a
power receptacle.

display ‘Now Loading’ for a few seconds, after which it will display the Audio

display screen will then appear on the screen, and ‘MUTE’ will be flashing.
Once ‘MUTE’ becomes solid, depress the front panel MUTE button (right

Select input source, then make any other necessary adjustments.
