•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.

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.

ANALOG

OUT

Connecting a Tuner

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