Record Player

• When connecting a record player with an MC cartridge, use a

commercially available MC head ampliﬁer or a step-up transformer.

• Induction humming (a booming sound) may be produced from the

speakers if the volume is raised with no record player connected.

• With some record players, noise may be generated when the ground

wire is connected. If so, disconnect the ground wire.

Turntable (MM cartridge)

NOTE

The AVR-989’s SIGNAL GND terminal is meant to reduce noise when a

record player is connected. This is not a safety ground terminal.

separately) to connect the iPod to the AVR-989. For instructions on

the control dock for iPod settings, refer to the control dock for iPod’s

operating instructions.
