Connecting a Turntable

The A-9377’s PHONO input is designed for use with a turntable fitted with a moving-magnet (MM) cartridge. Use an analog audio cable to connect the A-9377’s PHONO L/R jacks to the audio output jacks on the turn- table, as shown. If there are RCA shorting plugs in the jacks, remove them before connecting.

Connecting a CD Player

Use an analog audio cable to connect the A-9377’s CD L/R jacks to the analog audio output jacks on the CD player, as shown.

AUDIO OUT

Ground wire

Notes:

•If the turntable has a ground wire, connect it to A-9377’s GND terminal. With some turntables, con- necting the ground wire may cause hum, in which case it should be disconnected.

•If the turntable has a moving-coil (MC) type cartridge, you’ll need a commercially available MC head amp or transformer. In this case, connect the turntable to the head amp or transformer, and connect that to the A-9377’s PHONO L/R jacks.
