Connection to the amplifier
The record player has gold plated female RCA phono sockets (14) so you can substitute the interconnect cables
supplied with higher quality cables such as the P
Pro-Ject Connect it interconnect cables for connection to the
amplifier if you wish. Use a line input (such as AUX, CD, Tuner, Tape or Video) on your amplifier.
!
Due to the built in phono pre-amplifier, a phono input (sometimes labelled gram, disc or RIAA) is not
suitable.
Take care to connect the left and right channels correctly. The right channel is usually marked red, the left
channel black or white. Check the manual supplied with your amplifier for relevant information. The earthing
wire of the tonearm lead should be connected to the earth terminal on your amplifier (if provided).
