Counterpoint 5000 owners....

Help a brother out and tell me what phono controls are on the front panel?I am interested in getting a 5000 based on reviews and the fact that is has some provision for changing loads etc from front.If I have a multi caridge set up with either a multi arm deck or two tables are the 5000's controls able to cope?Is it missing anything?I am a neopkyte here where the phono section had MM/MC and On/Off.Want a bit more precision but ntoudre what I need.I called Alta Vista as they are the support co as you know but they were away for the week.As ever Thnx.

Tried the Altavista site but the pictures were to small and the description was't detailed enough.

Found out that there are two inputs one MM and one MC on back but you need to pop the top to flip switch which might be a drag convenience wise but is sonnically sound (many of Elliot's mods are to remove or bypass existing circuts for better sonics).But the MC has three gain settings and three designated impedance values and one that can be user set.I assume that user set one could be used with HO MM (though I might be wrong).Still that felxibilty appealed to me and I dove.Tell you what happens when I light it up.
