■Turntable (MM) with no Phono Preamp Built-in

The AV controller’s PHONO IN is designed for use with a moving magnet (MM) type cartridge.

Use an analog audio cable to connect the AV controller’s PHONO IN L/R jacks to the audio output on your turn- table.

Notes:

•If your turntable has a ground wire, connect it to the AV controller’s GND screw. With some turntables, connecting the ground wire may produce an audible hum. If this happens, disconnect it.

•If your turntable has a moving coil (MC) type car- tridge, you’ll need a commercially available MC head amp or MC transformer. Connect your turntable to the head amp or transformer, and connect that to the AV controller’s PHONO IN L/R jacks.

•You can also use a phono equalizer to connect a turn- table with an MC-type cartridge. See your phono equalizer’s manual for details.
