speakers, amplifiers, etc.)
Connecting to audio source
Align the settings for the pre-amplifier selector switch and connect
the RCA audio cable to an input jack that is compatible with the
connectable equipment you are using (amplifier, receiver, active
speakers, sound card, etc.).
• The RCA audio cable's red jack is for the right (R) channel, and the
white jack is for the left (L) channel.
* Depending on the equipment you are connecting, a ground (earth)
terminal may exist near the phono input jack. If this is the case,
connect to it using the ground line from the RCA audio cable. This
will help prevent a low humming noise that might otherwise be heard
during playback.
