the output terminal on the turntable to the PHONO IN
jacks on the RDC-7. Make sure that you properly con-
nect the left channel to the L jack and the right chan-
nel to the R jack.
Note:
The RDC-7 is designed for use with moving magnet car-
tridges. For proper operation, connect a ground (or
earth) wire to the GND terminal. For some turntables,
however, connecting the ground wire may cause in-
creased noise, and in such a case, a ground wire is not
necessary and should not be connected.
