Setting MC cartridge loading
Resistive load setting
In the ‘Manufacturer’s recommendation’ example, the 50Ω
setting would best match the cartridge shown.
The factory setting is 1kΩ. To change the resistive load
setting -
Press the RES key
•

.
Turn the ROTARy CONTROl
•
e
to step through the
options available.
Choose from 11Ω, 16Ω, 33Ω, 47Ω, 100Ω, 150Ω, 333Ω,
500Ω, 1kΩ, 47kΩ,
Press the ROTARy CONTROl
•

to select a new setting.
The RES indicator will change colour from green to
yellow. This indicates that the setting has changed from
the value previously stored.
If you prefer this setting and want to save it for the
•
selected input, refer to the ‘Saving changes to settings’
section.
Capacitive load setting
In the ‘Manufacturer’s recommendation’ example above,
the lowest 220pF setting would best match the cartridge
shown.
The factory setting is 220pF. To change the capacitive load
setting -
Press the CAP key

Fine tuning cartridge load settings
Changing cartridge load settings will not damage a cartridge
and you may find a combination of settings that you prefer
by changing the settings while listening.
The effects of changing load resistance and capacitance will
be quite subtle, though setting load resistance to the lower
values will also reduce the output level from the cartridge.
The gain may be increased to compensate if necessary.
Increasing the load resistance may also provide a subtle
tonal correction to benefit older records that have been
played very regularly.
Saving changes to gain or loading settings
Saving new settings
If you have made changes to settings for an input (one or
•
more of the GAIN, RES or CAP indicators will be yellow)
and want to save them, press the STORE button
f
.
Changes in settings will be saved and the GAIN, RES and
CAP indicators will change to green.
Reverting to previous settings
If you make changes to settings, but do not press the
•
STORE key, these temporary settings will be retained
if you set to Standby, but will be lost if you disconnect
mains power.
