Installation and Operation

1. Connect your turntable to the MM 002

Plug the leads from your turntable’s cartridge to the in­put sockets on the back of the MM 002: the Right chan­nel (red) cable into the Right input and the Left channel
(white) into the Left input. If your tonearm has a separate
earth wire for shielding purposes please connect it to
the earth binding post on the rear panel of the MM002.

Your amplier should be powered off or muted and
the MM 002’s power supply should not yet be con­nected.

2. Connect the MM 002 to your amplier

Use high-quality RCA interconnect cables to connect
the MM 002 to an auxiliary line-level input on your ampli­fier (Aux, Tape in, CD, Tuner, etc.).

Please ensure that the right channel output is connect­ed to the right channel input on your amplifier, and the
left channel output is connected to the left channel input
on your amplifier.

If your amplier is already equipped with a phono
stage and you are upgrading your system with the
MM 002, do not connect the output of the MM 002 to
the phono input: this is meant to be connected only to
a turntable’s cartridge output, not to a line level output
such as that of the MM 002.

Installation and Operation

3. Connect the power adaptor

Make sure the power switch is in the OFF (outwards)
position and the power adaptor is not connected to a
mains socket.

Connect the Thorens power supply cable to the power
socket on the rear panel.

After choosing and installing the correct snap-in mains
plug for your country, connect the power adaptor to a
live mains socket then press the power button on the
rear panel to the ON (inwards) position.

Always use the supplied mains power adaptor or an
original Thorens spare part!

If you prefer, the MM 002 can be left powered on
thanks to its very low power consumption levels. If
you plan to leave it unused for a prolonged period
of time, we suggest disconnecting the power adaptor
from the mains socket.

The MM 002 is now ready for use. Switch on or un-mute
your amplifier and enjoy your favourite music!
