Mains power connection
The turntable is supplied with the universal power supply with 3 exchangeable sockets adapters suitable for
all countries. Select the correct adapter for your country and insert the adapter to the exchangeable part of
the power supply.
Connect the low voltage plug from the power supply to the socket (13) on the rear of the record player before
connecting the power supply to the mains.
Fitting the lid
Fit the lid (dust cover 10) carefully over the hinge prongs and adjust the screws (12) until the lid stays open
where you want it to without being too stiff to open or close.
Switching on and off, changing replay speed
To play records at 33 r.p.m. press the ON/OFF switch (19) to starts the motor. Pressing the ON/OFF switch
two times selects 45 r.p.m.. The selected speed is shown respectively by the flashing LED. When the platter has
attained full speed, the LEDs stop flashing.
To be able to play 78 r.p.m. the flat drive belt has to be removed and the round drive belt has to be fitted
around the sub-platter (4) and the larger diameter part of the motor pulley (2). To do so the platter (5) has to
be removed.
After the round drive belt has been fitted, pressing the ON/OFF switch two times selects 78 r.p.m.. When full
speed is attained the LED
45
stops flashing.
A long (more than three seconds) press on the ON/OFF switch stops the motor.
Useful tips
The record player should be positioned on a low-resonance surface such as wood or multiple layer ply board
to avoid structural vibrations disturbing replay.
Adjusting the azimuth
** The cartridge needle must be vertical in the record groove in order to trace the groove wall modulations
correctly.
A small screw at the bearing end of the arm allows incorrect azimuth to be corrected if your needle is not
mounted exactly perpendicular to the cartridge body (which is often the case).
Slacken off the screw just enough to be able to revolve the arm tube without applying force. Please note: do
not remove the screw completely!
With the aid of a good magnifying glass adjust the needle until it is vertical in the groove (i.e. perpendicular
to the record's surface). Ideally this should correspond to the top surface of the cartridge body being parallel
to the record surface.
When you are satisfied, that the needle is vertical retighten the screw carefully.
