and could damage your stereo system.
− If the Phono/Line switch is set at PHONO position but RCA jack connected to
the stereo system’s line input, the volume will be very low due to lacking signal
pre-amplification.
− RCA Jack is not designed to be connected directly to the passive/unpowered
speakers and if it does, the volume will be very low.
