THORENS MM 008 - Connecting Your Amplifier; Important Connection Safety

8
Connecting your amplier
Use high-quality RCA interconnect cables to connect
the MM 008 to an auxiliary line-level input on your ampli-
fier (Aux, Tape in, CD, Tuner, etc.).
Ensure that the right channel output is connected to the
right channel input on your amplifier, and the left chan-
nel output is connected to the left channel input on your
amplifier.
If your amplier is already equipped with a phono
stage and you are upgrading your system with the
MM 008, do not connect the output of the MM 008
to the phono input: it is intended for connection to a
turntable’s cartridge output only, not to a line level
output such as that of the MM 008.
Important:
Do not change the position of the MM/MC selec-
tor switch, connect or disconnect cables from the
cartridge or connect or disconnect the MC loading
plugs while the MM 008 is connected to the input of
a preamplier or amplier and switched on as this
can cause a loud abrupt noise in the loudspeak-
ers with possible damage to the drive units. Always
lower or mute the amplier’s volume, or switch it off
entirely before making any connections.
