d
Anti-skating dial
e
Arm lifter lever
Use to raise and lower the tone arm.
We recommend using the arm lifter lever to avoid dam-
aging records and styluses, because it is safer and more
certain than using a finger to do so.
f
Tone arm holder
This is a rest for the tone arm. Move the clasp to the right
to release the tone arm before playing a record.
g
Tone arm
h
Rotation speed setting knob
Select the rotation speed indicated on the record to be
played.
Rotation will stop when this is set to 0.
i
Headshell
This is a universal type that allows the cartridge to be
changed easily.
Connections
A
Grounding terminal (|)
Use the grounding wire of the included RCA audio cable
to connect this connector to the grounding terminal of
the amplifier, for example.
o This is NOT an electrical safety ground.
If noise from speakers is conspicuous
If connecting the grounding wire of the audio cable
to the grounding terminal of this unit does not reduce
noise, disconnect the grounding wire and check the
sound again. Use the method (connected/disconnected)
that has the least noise.
B
Analog audio output connectors (L/R)
These output analog audio signals.
The PHONO EQ switch setting changes the type of out-
put signal.
Use the included audio cable (or commercially-available
ones) to connect other equipment to the output connec-
tors of this unit.
C
PHONO EQ (audio output setting) switch
ON
Signals that have been amplified by the built-in equalizer
amp are output from the analog audio output connectors
(L/R).
THRU
The MC or MM cartridge signal is output directly through
the analog audio output connectors (L/R).
Connect to a device with phono inputs, such as a phono
equalization preamplifier or an amplifier with phono input
connectors.
o When shipped new from the factory, this is set to ON.
o Set this to ON if a device is connected to the USB
port.
CAUTION
When set to ON, if connected to the PHONO inputs of
an amplifier, for example, the output from speakers and
headphones will be very loud, which could damage
equipment or harm hearing.
D
USB port (USB B type)
The sound of the record is converted to digital (resolution
up to 48 kHz/16-bit) and output. Recording on a com-
puter is possible by connecting this to a USB port on the
computer using a USB cable (page19).
E
DC input connector
After completing all other connections, connect the
included AC adapter to this connector.
Confirm that the power plug of the AC adapter is
plugged into a power outlet.
o Do not use any AC adapter other than the one
included.
V
Be sure to connect the power cord to
an AC outlet that supplies the correct
voltage. Connection to an outlet that
supplies incorrect voltage could cause
fire or electric shock.
V
Hold the power plug when plugging it
into an outlet or unplugging it. Never
pull or yank on the power cord.
V
Unplug the power cord from the outlet
when you are not planning to use the
unit for an extended period of time.
