Before Making any Connections

Always refer to the instructions that came with the component that you are connecting.

Do not plug in the power cord until all connec- tions have been properly made.

Do not bind audio cables with power cords and speaker cables. Doing so may adversely affect the sound quality.

To prevent interference, keep power cords and speaker cables away from the tuner’s antenna.

Audio Components

Connecting a Turntable

The A-9755/A-9555’s PHONO input jacks are for use with moving-magnet (MM) type cartridges.

Use an analog audio cable to connect the A-9755/A-9555’s PHONO L/R jacks to the audio out- put jacks on the turntable, as shown.

AUDIO OUT

Ground wire

Notes:

If the turntable has a ground wire, connect it to A-9755/A-9555’s GND terminal. With some turnta- bles, connecting the ground wire may cause hum, in which case it should be disconnected.

If the turntable has a moving-coil (MC) type car- tridge, you’ll need a commercially available MC phono preamp. In this case, connect the turntable to the phono preamp’s input, and connect the phono preamp’s output to the A-9755/A-9555’s PHONO L/R jacks.
