to the left channel sockets and the red plugs are connected to
the right channel sockets. Plug the ground earth wire into the
turntable’s ground socket and connect the wire’s spade lug to
the amplifier or receiver's ground (GND) screw. Regarding the
mains cord, plug the female end into the turntable AC socket
and plug the other end into an AC wall socket. (Fig. 1)
Note that hum may occur if you neglect to connect the ground
wire.

@ Place the unit in a stable and horizontal position where there
is little or no vibration.
@ Place the unit away from the speakers so that it will be
subject to as little direct sound radiation as possible.
@ Donot use or store this unit where it will be exposed to dust,
dirt, high humidity or high temperature. Do not place it near
heaters.
@ Place it in a well ventilated location.
@ Do not use under direct sunlight, spotlights, or other ex-
tremely bright light sources.
@ Do not place it near or on top of a power amplifier, since
power ampliflers radiate much heat.
@ Place the turntable away from the power amplifier to prevent
hum.
Hum may be caused by leakage flux from the transfomer in
the power amplifier (or integrated amplifier). Therefore, if
you notice hum, try moving the turntable to a slightly
different location, further away from the amplifier.
m@ (If you try to listen to a radio near the turntable while it is
turning, you may hear some interference.
