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

The AV receiver’s PHONO IN is designed for use with a moving 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 turn- table.

Notes:

•If your turntable has a ground wire, connect it to the AV receiver’s GND screw. With some turntables, con- necting 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 receiver’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.
