POWERING UP

The Fono MM is turned on by pressing the on-off button located on the front, when the unit is active the Rega logo will glow RED.

WARNING : We advise you to turn the Fono on first, followed by the amplifier. This is because the power surge in the Fono could cause an audible, power on “thump” which may distress the speakers.

METHOD OF CONNECTION

INPUT : Connect the tonearm leads and earth (if used) to the input socket and to the earth terminal on the back of the Fono.

TURNTABLE EARTH : If the turntable or tonearm has a separate signal earth connection, this should be connected to the turntable earth terminal on the back of the unit.

OUTPUT : Connect the output socket of the Fono to the line input on the amplifier.

PLEASE NOTE : If you have an integrated amplifier with built in phono stage, DO NOT connect the Fono to this input.

POWER SUPPLY : Connect the Rega PS1 to the AC socket on the Fono back panel.
