Dear customer,
Thank you for purchasing a Micromega product. This unit provides ease of use
and sonics of the highest quality. Please pay close attention to this instruction
manual, and read it fully before attempting to operate. It is designed to ensure you
maximise your pleasure of listening to MyGROOV.

Checking

Check that the carton has no damage. Should you have any doubt about its condi­tion, please do not hesitate to contact your dealer.
Opening the box, you should find:

• One C7 AC Mains cord matching your area.

Mains voltage

MyGROOV is equipped with an internal universal power supply allowing you to use

it with voltage and frequency in the range of 85-265 Vac / 50-60 Hz.

Connections and Power up

Except for the mains cord, MyGROOV is not supplied with any interconnect cables.
To get the best out of your unit, we recommend that you use good quality cables.
Check with your dealer. Following the diagram on the next page, connect your
turntable to MyGROOV inputs. Connect the stereo analog output of MyGROOV to
a line input of your amplifier. While doing this, we recommend you to have your
amplifier turned off. Do not forget to connect the Ground wire of your turntable to
the GND post of MyGROOV.
Plug the AC line cord to the mains input of MyGROOV and then connect the other
end to your wall mains inlet. As soon as MyGROOV is connected to the mains, the
led located under the MyGROOV logo will light up in red indicating that the unit is
in Standby mode.

Operation:

MyGROOV central wheel is used to get out of standby and to set up the input to
match your cartridge model MM or MC.
A Mute position between both inputs and a time delay of 3 seconds guarantees no
noise operation while changing inputs.

Standby

Turn the wheel to the extreme left position.
MyGROOV is then in standby mode and the led located under the MyGROOV logo

turns red. The unit is then respectful of the most stringent ECO regulations.
