(31,33) inputs and 1 stereo PHONO/LINE (36) input. The PHONO/
LINE (35) switch enables you to set the (36) input to Phono or Line.

THE GROUND LIFT SWITCH

epending on your system configuration, applying the ground
sometimes creates a quieter signal path. Sometimes “lifting” the
ground eliminates loops and hum to create a quieter signal path.
1. Listen to the system with the unit ON, without music, and with the
ground “applied”. GROUND LIFT SWITCH (41) should be to the left.
2. Turn power OFF before moving the GROUND LIFT SWITCH.
3. Now, “lift” the ground by moving the GROUND LIFT SWITCH to the
right. Turn the power back ON and listen to determine which
position provides a signal free of background noise and hum.
Note: Keep GROUND LIFT in the ground “applied” or left position if
noise level remains the same in either position.
CAUTION:DO NOT TERMINATE THE AC GROUND ON THE POWER
CABLE. TERMINATION OF THE AC GROUND CAN BE HAZARDOUS.
