Turntable (MM) with no Phono Preamp Built-in
The AV receiver’s PHONO IN is designed for use with a mov-
ing magnet (MM) type cartridge.
Use an analog audio cable to connect the AV receiver’s PHONO
IN L/R jacks to the audio output on your turntable.
Notes:
If your turntable has a ground wire, connect it to the AV
receiver’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 cartridge,
you’ll need a commercially available MC head amp or MC
transformer. Connect your turntable to the head amp or trans-
former, and connect that to the AV receiver’s PHONO IN L/R
jacks.
You can also use a phono equalizer to connect a turntable
with an MC-type cartridge. See your phono equalizer’s man-
ual for details.
