You just need an 8-year-old to show you how do everything with your phone.  
What is the advantage of being able to select the MONO button?
If you are starting with a mono recording and a mono cartridge, use will only need one channel of the preamp and a mono amp with one speaker. But if you are playing through a stereo amp and two speakers it gets a little more complicated.  For that...
