I've purchased a lovely Cyrus 2 and PSX, but I can't get any phono output.
I know the other outputs work fine, and the record player is ok.

Cyrus 2 and PSX both need to be powered. If you have a Phono card installed
then the Cyrus 2 power is used for the card only (e.g. you will get tape
output without the PSX attached or plugged in.) If, however you wish to play
anything through the speakers, both will need to be connected via the
umbilical and mains powered.

Thanks, that is really helpful... it is the first time I've owned a
Cyrus 2 /and/ PSX, so I wasn't sure.

While I'm here, turning the volume knob causes crackling in the speakers
- do you know what would be the easiest way of sorting this?
