Please check the contents of the packaging, which in addition to the appliance should contain the following accessories: · POWER LED This LED is lit as long as the PHO-111 is connected to its power supply that is connected to the mains and ready for use. GND: Ground clamp for the record player In addition to the stereo signal connection cable most record players are equipped with a grounding cable that can be recognized by the cable lug at the end of the cable. IN: signal input from the record player The audio output (or as well an attached audio cable) of the record player must be connected to these input sockets. MC/MM I/MM II: pickup type switch At this switch the type of record player pickup system has to be selected to adapt the phono preamplifier PHO-111 to that system. OUT: signal output to the amplifier A pair of RCA input sockets of your system's audio amplifier must be connected with these output sockets. 12-16V AC: power supply input of the PHO-111 Plug in the power connector at the end of the cable (8) of the supplied AC adaptor (7). connect the AC adaptor to the mains voltage. Always connect the AC adaptor to the mains before you switch on the amplifier/preamplifier!AC ADAPTOR: power supply with power plug This power supply adaptor is supplied with the PHO-111 and converts the mains voltage to a more suitable supply voltage.

Inadequate connections can cause noise interference, failures and malfunctions. place the device on a suitable , stable surface. Make sure that the weight of the cabling does not cause the PHO-111 to lose contact to its base. the phono preamplifier processes very sensitive electric signals. That is why you should place both appliances at maximum distance to potential sources of disturbance like mains cables, mobile phones, switching power supplies, transformers, computers and main amplifiers.
