PHONO GROUND terminal
If a turntable (analog) is connected to the CH 1 or CH 2 INPUT jacks,
connect the turntable’s ground terminal here. This suppresses noise from
the turntable.
* Depending on the circumstances of a particular setup, you may
experience a discomforting sensation, or perceive that the surface
feels gritty to the touch when you touch this device, or the metal
portions of other objects. This is due to an innitesimal electrical
charge, which is absolutely harmless. However, if you are concerned
about this, connect the PHONO GROUND terminal with an external
ground. When the unit is grounded, a slight hum may occur,
depending on the particulars of your installation. If you are unsure of
the connection method, contact the nearest Roland Service Center, or
an authorized Roland distributor, as listed on the “Information” page.
