Setting the Antiskating
Set the antiskating controller so that the level complies with stylus force of
the respective cartridge system. For example, if the stylus force is 2 grams,
set the antiskating controller to 2.
The recommended setting for the enclosed system is level 3.
Tuning of Playing Speed
• Switch on the record player.
• Loosen the support clamp.
• Set the pick-up arm lift to position "AUF" (lift pick-up arm).
• Set the pitch sliding controller to middle position.
• Select speed "33".
• Press the START/PAUSE button to start the record player (turntable is turning).
• Move the pick-up arm towards the turntable but do not lower the pick-up arm.
• Note the dots on the edge of the turntable. With the help of the stroboscopic light, the speed setting can
be controlled.
• There are 4 rows of dots on the turntable edge. The row of dots nee-
ded to be observed depends on the set playing speed (33/45) and
the operating voltage frequency (50/60Hz). In Germany the decisive
operating voltage frequency is 50 Hz, in which case the two top rows
of dots need to be observed.
• With the speed controllers (14) the speed can be set correctly.
Controller lettered 33 = setting controller for speed 33 rpm.
Controller lettered 45 = setting controller for speed 45rpm.
• Setting process: when the row of dots is observed under the stroboscopic light and it seems like they are
turning towards the right or left, then the turntable speed is too slow or too high. Use a small screwdriver
and turn the speed controller (14) lettered "33" towards "+", or "-" until it seems that the row of dots stand
still.
• Now select playing speed "45" and also carry out the setting. But here the setting controller lettered "45"
needs to be set.
• Bring the pick-up arm to rest position again, lower it and secure it with the support clamp.
Getting Started
To ensure proper operation, please read this manual carefully and thoroughly with the
safety warnings.
• Recheck all connections and adjustments.
• Open the lid
• Put a record onto the turntable. If necessary put the single adapter (puck) on the turntable axis to play a
single.
• Set the pitch slide switch to middle position. In this position the controller easily clicks in.
• Switch on the power switch of the record player.
• Select the speed indicated on the record with the speed selection switch (33 or 45 rpm). The selected
speed is indicated by the LED.
• Switch on the mixing desk or the amplifier. Select the input to which the record player is connected.
• Activate the Start/Pause button or the connected Start/Stop remote control function (external button). The
turntable will turn.
• Loosen the support clamp on the pick-up arm.
• Set the pick-up arm lift to "AUF" position and swing the pick-up arm from the pick-up rest over the record.
• if the lighting conditions are bad, press the interlocking key for the stylus light, the stylus light comes out
and switches itself on automatically. To switch it off, simply push the stylus light back in with slight pres-
sure.
• Line up the pick-up arm above the first record groove.

Lid
Put the two hinges onto the lid. Then put the hinges with the lid into the provided mount of the record player.
Counterbalance
Put the counterbalance onto the pick-up arm, up to just before the red mar-
king line. The scale of the counterbalance will point towards the lock screw for
the cartridge system. Turn the counterbalance up to half of the length of the
red marking line on the pick-up arm. Instructions for the exact setting can be
found under "Setting of Counterbalance”.
Cartridge System
Before installing the cartridge system, ensure that the pick-up
arm is secured in the support clamp. Put the cartridge system
carefully onto the record player’s pick-up arm.
Fasten the cartridge system by turning the lock screw
anticlockwise.
Placement of Device
When selecting a set-up place, consider the room conditions e.g., the location of the next electrical outlet.
When choosing a location, make sure that the device is not exposed to direct sunlight, vibration, dust, hot and
cold temperatures or dampness. Furthermore, no powerful transformers or motors must be set up in the vicin-
ity of the device. Keep a sufficient distance between the device and the speakers, to avoid acoustic feedback.
Only place the device onto a stable, horizontal surface. Failure to observe this note could
cause damage to the device or the record. Only operate the device correctly set up, oth-
erwise it will not work properly.
In view of the variety of different varnishes and polishes on furniture, it is possible that
the feet of the device leave visible marks on the furniture due to a chemical reaction. This
is why the device should not be put on valuable furniture surfaces without suitable pro-
tection.
Do not drill or screw additional screws into the system-unit’s cover to fasten the device,
since this will damage the device.
