Connecting a playback device
You can connect turntables, tuners, Blu-ray disc players, network audio players and CD players to this unit. Use the cartridge selector knob on the front
panel to set the phono equalizer on this unit according to the type of turntable cartridge to be connected. (v p. 8)
If you set this unit’s input source to “PHONO” and you accidentally increase the volume without having a turntable connected, you may hear a hum noise
from the speakers.
NOTE
0
The earth terminal (SIGNAL GND) of this unit is not for safety
grounding purposes. If this terminal is connected when there
is a lot of noise, the noise can be reduced. Note that
depending on the turntable, connecting the ground line may
have the reverse effect of increasing noise. In this case, it is
not necessary to connect the ground line.
0
The PHONO input terminals are equipped with a short pin-
plug. Remove this plug to connect a record player. Store the
removed short pin-plug in a safe place so as not to lose it.

Explanation of terms
MM/MC cartridge
There are two types--MM (Moving Magnet) and MC (Moving Coil)--of
cartridges for turntable. As the output levels for these two types of
cartridges differ, the setting of the phono equalizer that is mounted in this
unit must be switched according to the type of cartridge for your turntable.
The setting can be switched by the cartridge selector knob on the main
unit. (v p. 8)
Speaker impedance
This is an AC resistance value, indicated in Ω (ohms).
Greater power can be obtained when this value is smaller.
Protection circuit
This is a function to prevent damage to devices within the power supply
when an abnormality such as an overload, excess voltage occurs or over
temperature for any reason.
