Connecting a Turntable
The A-9377’s PHONO input is designed for use with a
turntable fitted with a moving-magnet (MM) cartridge.
Use an analog audio cable to connect the A-9377’s
PHONO L/R jacks to the audio output jacks on the turn-
table, as shown. If there are RCA shorting plugs in the
jacks, remove them before connecting.
Notes:
If the turntable has a ground wire, connect it to
A-9377’s GND terminal. With some turntables, con-
necting the ground wire may cause hum, in which case
it should be disconnected.
If the turntable has a moving-coil (MC) type cartridge,
you’ll need a commercially available MC head amp or
transformer. In this case, connect the turntable to the
head amp or transformer, and connect that to the
A-9377’s PHONO L/R jacks.
Connecting a CD Player
Use an analog audio cable to connect the A-9377’s CD
L/R jacks to the analog audio output jacks on the CD
player, as shown.
Connecting a Tuner
Use an analog audio cable to connect the A-9377’s
TUNER L/R jacks to the analog audio output jacks on
the tuner, as shown.
Connecting Your Components
Audio Connection Precautions
•Always refer to the instruction manual that came
with the component you are connecting.
Do not plug in the power cord until all connections
have been made.
RCA Connection Color Coding
Red connectors are used for the right channel, and
white connectors are used for the left channel.
Push each plug in all the
way to make a good connec-
tion (loose connections can
cause noise or malfunc-
tions).
Do not bind audio cables with power cords and
speaker cables. Doing so may adversely affect the
sound quality.
•To prevent interference, keep power cords and
speaker cables away from the tuner’s antenna.
