Connecting the ground wire of the turntable to the GND terminal will normally minimize hum, but in some cases better results may be obtained with the ground wire disconnected.

CONNECTING SPEAKERS

Connect the SPEAKERS terminals to your speakers with wire of the proper gauge (cut as short as possible). If the connections are faulty, no sound will be heard from the speakers. Make sure that the polarity of the speaker wires is correct, that is the + and – markings are observed. If these wires are reversed, the sound will be unnatural and lack bass.

Caution

Do not let the bare speaker wires touch each other or any metal part of this unit. This could damage this unit and/or speakers.

How to Connect:

<U.S.A., Canada, Australia and General models only>

Red: positive (+)
