Input Connections
All the inputs and the tape outputs are made via RCA (Phono) type
connectors. The sockets on Rega amplifiers are clearly marked left
and right.
Right: always the lower row and marked in RED
Left: always the upper row and marked in WHITE
IMPORTANT: ALWAYS TURN OFF THE AMPLIFIER WHEN CHANGING LEADS
ESPECIALLY SPEAKER CABLES.
Rear Panel Connections
Earthing: Earthing is done via the Phono socket ground for Rega
turntables so a separate earth is not necessary. In the unlikely event
that your tonearm needs to be earthed to the amplifier, the grounding
tag may be connected to the case grounding screw above the input
sockets.
Phono Input
The Phono input can be used with moving magnet (MM) or HIGH
OUTPUT moving coil (MC) cartridges.
