If you prefer to use the phono input of your stereo system or your standalone phono pre-amplifier, set the Phono/Line switch to the PHONO position. Otherwise, please set it to LINE position and make connection to the AUX input or other high-level input on your stereo system. Stereo System Connection Output Jacks · The output jacks of this unit can be used as either Phono output jacks or Line output jacks. This is determined by using the Phone/Line Switch. · To connect to active speakers, set Phono/Line switch to Line setting. To connect to a phono pre-amp or the phono input of a stereo system, set Phono/Line switch to Phono setting. · The Red plug connects with the Right channel and the White plug connects with the Left channel. Note: - If the Phono/Line switch is set at LINE position but the output jack is connected to the stereo system's phono input, the sound might be distorted due to input overload and could damage your stereo system. - If the Phono/Line switch is set at PHONO position but the output jack is connected to the stereo system's line input, the volume will be very low due to lacking signal pre-amplification. - The output jacks are not designed to be connected directly to the passive/unpowered speakers and if they are, the volume will be very low. Speaker terminals To connect to the speakers included with this system or other passive speakers, connect one end of the speaker wire included with this package to the back of the speakers and the other end to the Speaker Output Terminals. To do this, loosen the nuts, insert the speaker wire, and tighten the nuts to the closed position. Set the Phono/Line Switch to Line setting. 6 English Turntable Operation 1.
