6 TECHNICAL INFORMATION Screw grounding connection when using a turntable. If a CD player with a very high output is used, the input recording level can exceed 1V rms, this will result with slight digital noise and distortion. And LED is turning to red from green. To find the correct signal location by rotating VR in counterclockwise until the LED returns to green. And ready to start recording. If the output of the MP-1010 is connected to a mains earthed mixer, an earth loop can be generated. In cases like this a ground loop isolator should be used.
