Connecting to Computers or Audio Devices with 3.5 mm
Input
The A
T-PL50 connects without adapters to devices equipped
with RCA connectors. For maximum flexibility, we have
included two adapter cables to fit other popular audio inputs.
The first of these adapter cables–dual RCA to stereo 3.5 mm
mini-plug (male)–is designed to fit most popular computer*
audio inputs. It may also be used to connect the turntable's
RCA output to other equipment, including:
• a stereo/boombox* equipped with a 3.5 mm mini input
• powered speakers* equipped with a 3.5 mm mini input
• a mixer* or PA system* equipped with a 3.5 mm mini jack
The second included adapter cable–dual RCA to stereo 3.5 mm
mini-plug (female)–permits connection of the turntable output to
amplified speakers* or similar devices. The 3.5 mm ster
eo mini-
jack on the cable adapter accepts stereo mini-plugs.
On both cables, the “tip” carries the signal for the left channel,
the “ring” carries the right signal, and the “sleeve” is
ground/common.
To use either adapter cable, connect the turntable's red and
white RCA-type plugs to the cable adapter's RCA-type jacks.
* When using either cable adapter, always set the AT-PL50
turntable’s Pre-amp Selector Switch to the “ON” position.
(Switch is located under the AT-PL50 turntable platter.)
NOTE: If connection is desired to a mono amplifier/speaker,
make certain to use a stereo-to-mono adapter, available from
your dealer or an electronic parts store. Inserting a mono plug in
the stereo jack will disable one of the stereo channels. Other
adapter cable configurations will be available from dealers and
parts stores for connecting to devices needing different
terminations.
