In order to put in phase the equipment with the power supply you have to follow the following:
1)You need a voltmeter, put it in AC volts and keep one probe in contact with your fingers and the other probe you have to touch the equipment ground point or any pin RCA ground.
*Important the equipment under test must be completely disconnected from other equipment, it must just be plugged to the power supply outlet.
Then, switch-on the equipment and touch a ground point and at the same time keep the other probe touching your fingers.
You will be able to read a certain voltage.
Then, reverse the power supply cord plug and make the same procedure.
The lower reading position corresponds to the proper(in phase)position of the power supply plug.
Remember if the equipment under test is earthed through the power cord(three pole) then this test will not work.
This procedure is quite easy to see if the plug is simple two pole.
