PHONO CARD ADjUSTMENTS
If the Phono Card option has been factory
installed, so that Input 2 on the rear of the
CONCERTO is dedicated for phono operation
only, the following adjustments can be made
to optimize the performance of a particular
phono cartridge. These adjustments include
both cartridge loading and overall phono
amp lifier gain.
STEP 1: Unplug the CONCERTO power cable
from the wall AC outlet.
STEP 2: Place the unit upside-down on a soft,
clean surface. Using a #2 Phillips screwdriver,
remove the twelve screws that secure the
bottom cover of the unit.
STEP 3:
Carefully remove the phono card
from the back panel by easing it gently back
and forth until it separates from the unit. (See
FIGURES 8 and 9)
