transit.

SETUP AND INSTALLATION

PART 1 – DESKTOP USE

1. ASSEMBLING THE REAR SUPPORT

Remove the rear support panel

(18)

from the packaging and prepare two M6x35 screws for mounting.

Using the screwdriver, carefully tighten the screws to fix the rear support panel on the turntable’s chassis

(5)

as shown in the following illustration.

2. MOUNTING THE PLATTER, DRIVE BELT AND RECORD CLAMP

With the rear support

(18)

mounted and the turntable in vertical position, install the platter

(3)

and the drive

belt

as shown in following illustration.

After placing the record on the platter, it is necessary to tighten the screw-able record

clamp (6) onto the platter spindle.

3. CARTRIDGE, VERTICAL TRACKING FORCE (VTF)

The turntable is supplied with fitted cartridge Ortofon OM 5E. The counterweight

(7)

supplied is suitable only

for Ortofon OM cartridges. Cartridge downforce is pre-adjusted from the factory.

Please note: It is not recommended to change the cartridge or vertical tracking force without prior

consultation with your dealer.

4. CONNECTION TO THE AMPLIFIER

The record player has two possible outputs –

Line OUT

(14)

with integrated preamplifier

and

Phono OUT (15)

for connection to the preamplifier. If you choose Phono OUT

(15),

than use the

Phono

input (sometimes

labelled gram, disc or RIAA) on your amplifier. Make sure that the phono input offers correct matching and

amplification for the type of cartridge used. If you choose Line OUT

(14),

than use the

Line

inputs (like CD,

Tuner, Tape or Video).

Take care about connecting the left and right channel correctly. The

RIGHT CHANNEL

is usually marked

RED

, the

LEFT CHANNEL BLACK

WHITE

. Check the manual of your amplifier for relevant information. An

earthing wire may be connected to the screw terminal between the sockets if you encounter humming

problems.

s and Bluetooth Box E).

6. MAINS POWER CONNECTION

The turntable is supplied with a power supply suitable for your country's mains supply. Check the label before

connecting to ensure compliance with the mains rating in your house.

Connect the low voltage plug from the power supply to the socket

(19)

on the rear of the record

player before connecting the power supply to the mains.

7. SWITCHING ON AND OFF

Pressing the power switch

(1)

alternately starts or stops the motor.

8. CHANGING REPLAY SPEED

To play records at

45 r.p.m.

, put the drive belt

(4)

over the larger diameter part of the motor pulley

(2)

. To

revert to

33 r.p.m.

repeat the proceedings using the smaller step on the pulley.

9. MAINTENANCE AND CLEANING

Your record player requires little or no regular maintenance. Remove dust with a slightly moistened antistatic

cloth. Never use a dry cloth because this will create static electricity which attracts even more dust! Antistatic

cleaning fluids are available at specialized stores but must be applied sparingly to avoid damage to rubber

parts. It is recommended to fit the needle cover before cleaning or maintenance to avoid damage.

If the player is not used over a long period of time, the drive belt should be removed to prevent unequal

stretching.

Always disconnect the record player from the mains power supply as a precaution before maintenance!
