CAUTIONS

Do not make any connections when your device is powered on.
Put your device in a dry and well ventilated place, far from a source of heat
Avoid putting something on your amplifier.
Do not make any plug-in when the converter is on.
Avoid any short-cut.
Strictly respect polarity (+) & (-) , as well as the left and right connections.

ADVISES

Your device will offer you optimal listening quality approximately half an hour after it is powered on, until the stages reach their ideal operating temperature.
At night or when you leave your home it is best to use the main switch to turn off the device.
We advise you to choose good quality connection cords (to other devices). Do not hesitate to seek advice from your specialist retailer.

CONNECTING

1) Ground.
2) Turntable signal input.
3) Settings blocks.
4) Module signal output.
5) Trigger input 12 V(1).
6) General power plug.
7) ON/SLEEP switch (Attention: the power-on led indicator takes a long time to turn-off).

(1) Trigger input: this input allows you to control the power ON/SLEEP of your PH200 simultaneously with any device equipped with a compatible Trigger output. In order for the system to work, the ON/SLEEP button on your PH200 must remain in the SLEEP position (0). If the switch is in the ON (I) position, it will work but not the Trigger function.

Jack cable Ø 3,5 mm

a: +12V
b: NC
c: GND

The Trigger connection must be made with a Ø 3,5 mm Male/Male stereo jack cable.

DETAILS OF FUNCTIONS

8) ON/SLEEP led indicator.

CONFIGURATIONS

The PH200 phono module allows you different configurable configurations. They can be carried out directly at the rear of the module via the 2 4-point switch blocks, one for the left channel and the other for the right channel (you can also refer to the screen-printed diagrams on the rear side). Make sure that the 2 switch blocks are in the same position.

1) MM – MC setting: Depending on the cartridge of your phono turntable, you can select the MM or MC input.

Caution: This adjustment must be made when the PH200 and the amplifier are turned off.

For an MM cell, set 3 and 4 to OFF.
For a high level MC cell (MCH), place 3 to ON, and 4 to OFF.
For a MC Low Level (MCL) cell, set 3 and 4 to ON.

2) Choice of input capacitor: This setting concerns both the MM and MC cells. It allows you to adapt the musicality of your PH200 to your system.
