the stylus exactly in-between the

two points marked

15mN

and

20mN.

If the stylus

Connection to the amplifier

The record player has gold plated female

RCA

phono sockets

(9)

for

connection to the amplifier using the

supplied interconnect cables.

Use

the Phono input (sometimes labelled gram, disc

RIM)

on your amplifier. Make sure that the phono

input offers correct matching and amplification

for

the type

cartridge used. Line inputs (such

CD, Tuner,

Tape

Video) are not suitable.

Take care to connect the left and right channels correctly. The right channel

usually marked red, the left

channel black

white. Check the manual supplied with your amplifier

for

relevant information. An earthing

wire may be connected

the screw terminal between the sockets if you encounter hum problems when using

the record player.

If your amplifier does not have an input suitable

for

phono cartridges you will require a separate phono

amplifier stage

for

cartridges which

then connected between the record player and a free line

level input

the amplifier.
