Use an analog audio cable to connect the AV controller'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 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 cartridge, 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 turntable with an MC-type cartridge. See your phono equalizer's manual for details. CD or turntable Analog audio L/R output Digital coaxial output Digital optical output IN L R PHONO AUDIO OUTPUT L R 41
