A
Phono input connectors (INPUTS)
Connect the audio outputs of an analog turntable .
o
The XLR connectors are only for use with MC cartridges .
Use audio cables to connect the R and L connectors on an
analog turntable to the corresponding R and L connectors on
this unit .
Use the following types of commercially-available cables
for connections.
XLR: XLR cables
RCA: RCA cables
B
Analog audio output connectors (LINE OUT)
These connectors output audio .
Connect these to the audio input connectors (e .g . LINE IN) on
an amplifier .
Use the following types of commercially-available cables
for connections.
XLR: XLR cables
RCA: RCA cables
o
Do not connect the analog audio output connectors on this
unit to phono input connectors on an amplifier . Be sure to
connect them to line input connectors .
C
Power inlet (~IN)
Connect the supplied power cord here .
After all other connections are complete, connect the power
cord’s plug to a wall outlet .
V
Do not use any power cord other than the one
included with this unit. Use of other power cords
could result in fire or electric shock.
V
Disconnect the power plug from the outlet if you
will not use the unit for a long time.
D
Grounding terminal (FRAME GND)
Connect an audio output cable from an analog turntable to the
grounding terminal .
Connecting the grounding terminal also to the amplifier might
improve sound quality .
o
Failure to connect the grounding terminal of an analog turn-
table might cause hum (a low continuous noise) .
E
Maintenance port
This is used for maintenance . Do not connect anything to this
port unless instructed to do so by our service department .
Using an RCA-XLR conversion cable for
balanced connection of an MC cartridge
When using an RCA-XLR conversion cable for balanced connection
of an MC cartridge, only the following types of analog turntables
can be connected to this unit: turntables in which the cartridge −
and the tone arm GND are not connected inside it, and turntables in
which the L/R − are isolated .

o
When the L/R − and tone arm GND are connected within the
analog turntable, using an RCA-XLR conversion cable might not
reduce the humming sound .
o
When connected with an analog turntable that has a built-in
phono equalizer amplifier, turn the phone equalizer amplifier
output off during use .
