Wiring Assignments for Denon DL103R...Grovel


The Denon DL103R is a fine value and a fine cartridge. The all Japanese instructions with only black and white illustrations leave me without a clue as to the correct wiring assignments for the cartridge clip connectors. I cannot note any colouring on the cartridge I have.

This is a grovel for basic help!

I don't have enough light to see the lables on the back, but here is how I have mine wired. Looking at the pins from the back:

white red
blue green

I'm not sure if I have the channels correct. I listened to the HFN test record and the sound comes from the opposite side when facing the speakers and testing the right/left channel. So, if this is backwards just turn around while listening and you'll never know the difference.
Typically, there are little R and L markers for Right and Left channel, and there are little + and - markers for hot and ground on each channel, molded on the back end of the cartridge body, near the pins that they correspond with.

The wiring assignments are thus:
Red = Right channel hot
Green = Right channel ground
White = Left channel hot
Blue = Left channel ground

It's been over a year since I used mine. Maybe Jphii or someone else can help further.
I went back and got a better look with a magnifying glass. Looking from the back at the pins, R is on the right. Backed up by Tom's clarification, I guess I got the wiring correct.

I'm still confused about the HFNRR channel test and I can't find an explaination in the notes on the cover.
This is from my Denon-103 cartridge instruction manual.

Hope this helps.
