By installing a phono stage board, you can use
the RCA 3 jacks as dedicated PHONO jacks.
Additions and changes that result from installing
a phono stage board are as follows.
Connections
The added functionality turns the RCA 3 jacks
into dedicated PHONO input jacks.
Use the RCA 3 jacks to connect a record player.
Set the cartridge (PHONO) setting in Additional
settings to match the type of phono cartridge
used.
o Always connect the record player’s ground
to this unit’s grounding connector (SIGNAL
GND).
Additional settings
The following setting has been added to
Additional settings.
Cartridge (PHONO)
CART>***
Set this according to the cartridge used by the
record player connected to the RCA 3 jacks
(dedicated PHONO input jacks).
MM
Use this setting for a record player with an MM
cartridge.
o The load resistance for MM cartridges is fixed
at 47 kΩ.
MC300/MC100/MC 20
Use an MC setting for a record player with an
MC cartridge.
The number after “MC” indicates this unit’s
input impedance (Ω).
Use the setting with the resistance value clos-
est to the recommended load resistance (load
impedance) for the cartridge used.
If there is no recommended load resistance, use
the setting that provides the best audio quality.
The lower the load resistance, the lower the
output volume becomes. Likewise, the higher
the resistance, the higher the output volume
becomes.
(The standard load resistance is 100 Ω.)
o Load resistance is not the same as the car-
tridge‘s internal resistance (internal impedance
and coil impedance).
o Select a load resistance that is significantly
larger than the internal resistance of the car-
tridge used.
o If you select a load resistance that is not
significantly larger than the cartridge‘s inter-
nal resistance, the output volume could
become lower and noise could increase.
