The AV receiver/AV amplifier’s PHONO IN is designed for use
with a moving magnet (MM) type cartridge.
Use an analog audio cable to connect the AV receiver/AV
amplifier’s PHONO IN L/R jacks to the audio output on your
turntable.
Notes:
• If your turntable has a ground wire, connect it to the AV
receiver/AV amplifier’s GND screw. With some turntables,
connecting the ground wire may produce an audible hum.
If this happens, disconnect it.
• If your turntable has a moving coil (MC) type cartridge,
you’ll need a commercially available MC head amp or MC
transformer. Connect your turntable to the head amp or trans-
former, and connect that to the AV receiver/AV amplifier’s
PHONO IN L/R jacks.
• You can also use a phono equalizer to connect a turntable
with an MC-type cartridge. See your phono equalizer’s man-
ual for details.
