Connecting the TEP 302
8
Grounding �
Please check if the TEP 302 needs to be grounded: Turn the vol-
ume knob of your amplifier to zero (silent) and switch it off. Now turn
on the TEP 302 and afterwards your amplifier. If you hear a hum-
ming noise from the speakers, turn off the amplifier and connect the
ground socket
� of the TEP 302 with the ground cable of your turn-
table (This step is not necessary for Thorens turntables).
If you still hear the humming noises, they are probably caused by
power cords or DVD/CD cables. Try to place the TEP 302 as far
away as possible from possible sources of interference and remem-
ber: Distance is the best protection against disturbance.
If your sound system stays silent, put on a record and slowly increase
the volume on your amplifier.
Never connect the TEP 302 with the phono
input of your amplifier! High distortion and an
extremely high input level may cause damage to
your amplifier.
Audio input �
Connect the TEP 302 input � with the output sockets of your
turntable (use the turntable’s RCA cable).
Audio output �
Use the included RCA cable to connect the TEP 302 output � with
a “line level” input (e.g. CD, Aux, DVD, Tuner...) of your amplifier or
preamplifier.
Note: When the needle touches the record you may hear
some cracking noises.
When connecting the RCA cables, always make sure you
don’t mix up the channels!
