III. Electrical connections and installation

1. The turntable may be powered from any line voltage by using the appropriate THORENS AC Adapter (6).
   Verify that the line voltage of the adapter delivered with your turntable corresponds to the line voltage intended for use.
   
   
2. The stereophonic signal cable is terminated with RCA (Cinch) phono plugs, coded as follows: L for left channel, and R for right channel. They are to be connected to the appropriate phono input of an amplifier or receiver.
   
   The separate wire should be attached to the grounding screw at the chassis of the amplifier. It establishes a common ground and thus prevents hum introduction (Figure 8).
   
   Amplifiers with a 5 pin DIN input connector require an adapter cable (RCA female to DIN male), available at your dealer.
   
   If hum should be heard in the loudspeakers when the turntable is in use, check that the cartridge wand is firmly attached to the bearing assembly and that the connections to the pickup cartridge are secure. Hum may also be produced by the close proximity of amplifiers or other appliances. Your THORENS dealer or service representative should be consulted if hum-free performance cannot be achieved.
   
   One should avoid a position such as shown in Figure 9.
   
   When connecting the turntable to other hi-fi equipment, care should be taken that mains transformers incorporated within any ancillary units be not situated too close to the pickup cartridge. Magnetic cartridges are sensitive to the influence of magnetic fields of mainns transformers and may produce hum as a result.
   
   The turntable should be installed in a location allowing the dust cover to be opened freely. Avoid the immediate vicinity of heating units. Placement of the turntable on a solid cabinet and out of direct line with the loudspeakers will minimize the possibility of acoustic vibrations impairing reproduction quality.
