SETTING UP & CONNECTIONS
1.
Mount the Platter -1- onto the Record Platter Hub -3-.
2. Reaching through the Platter balance hole, pull the Drivebelt -4- so it sits around the Drive Hub -2-.
3. Place the supplied felt mat over the Turntable Hub -3-.
4. Place the Counterweight -16- onto the Tonearm -11-.
NOTE! The Counterweight Scale -15- has to face forward.
5. Screw the Headshell with Pick-Up System -10- securely (hand-tight) into the Tonearm -11-. The pick-up cartridge is easy to exchange,
if required (see below).
a) First loosen the fastening screw on the headshell and disconnect the cable of the supplied pick-up system.
b) Remove the old pick-up system from the headshell.
c) Now connect the leads of the pick-up system and observe the assignment of wires.
d) Tighten the fastening screws on the headshell.
e) Align the cartridge using a cartridge protractor, following the Baerwald alignment principle.
6. Connect the included RCA cable to the Audio Output -17- and connect the cable to a phono input OR line input of your amplifier or
HiFi sound system.
NOTE! The connection to a phono or line input depends on the setting of the Pre-amp On/Off Switch.
PRE-AMP OFF = phono input on your amplifier (or hi-fi system) or external phono stage
PRE-AMP ON = line input on your amplifier (or hi-fi system)
7. If needed, connect the USB cable to your computer for recordings. Please see the “USB Recording” section below for more information.
8. Connect the Power Supply Unit to its appropriate connection -20- and a power outlet.
OPERATION
1. Counterweight
Set the tonearm lift -13- to the „DOWN“ position. Now move the tonearm -11- to just in front of the turntable -1-. Adjust the counterweight -16- by
turning it clockwise so that the tonearm -11- does not tilt up or down, i.e. it should be balanced parallel to the record. Then guide the tonearm
-11- back into the tonearm support -12-. Adjust the counterweight scale -15- on the counterweight so that the position „0“ is above the marking
line. Turn the counterweight further clockwise until the scale shows the value that corresponds to the recommended needle tracking force of the
pick-up system.
2. Anti-Skating Wheel
Adjust the Anti-Skating Wheel -14- so that the setting directly matches tracking force of the fitted cartridge.
3. Selecting PRE-AMP ON/OFF & Turning on Power
Check the PRE AMP ON/OFF -6- position. Depending on your phono/line connection choice, the pre-amplifier should be turned on or off. After all
connections have been made and all settings have been adjusted you can turn the device on via the ON/OFF Button -5-.
4. Playback
Place the record onto the slipmat on the turntable -1-. Select the appropriate speed for your record with the 33/45/78 switch -7-. Remove the
needle guard from the pick-up system -10-. Now set the tone arm lift -13- to the „UP“ position and move the tone arm -11- over the part of the record
you want to play. Then set the tonearm lift -13- to the „DOWN“ position so that the tonearm lowers onto the record groove.
NOTE! You can also leave the tone arm lift permanently in the „DOWN“ position and lower the tone arm manually to the desired position. When
doing so, be careful not to damage the needle of the pick-up system.
ATTENTION FOR PLAYBACK OF RECORDS WITH 78 RPM (SHELLAC): Please deactivate the Start/Stop automatism when playing shellac
records with 78 RPM (Auto-Stop Off). Otherwise playback may be interrupted before the end of the record due to the tonearm mechanism.
Please also note, that an appropriate cartridge system should be chosen suitable for 78 RPM.
4. Selecting the Start/Stop Automatism -9- (Auto-Stop On/Off)
Your turntable can be used either fully manual (Auto-Stop off) or with the help of the Start/Stop mechanism (Auto-Stop on).
a) Auto-Stop ON
Provided that the drive belt -4- has been installed correctly, the platter -1- will start moving automatically once the tonearm -11- is placed abo-
ve the outer-edge of the Platter. By returning the tonearm -11- to the tonearm support -12- (starting position), the platter‘s -1- motor rotation
will stop. The motor -2- will also stop automatically at the end of a record.
b) Auto-Stop OFF
Provided the belt -4- has been installed correctly, the turntable -1- rotates constantly in the Auto-Stop OFF -9- position. The tonearm -11- must
be operated fully manually to play and stop playback.
NOTE! Please deactivate the Start/Stop automatism when playing shellac records with 78 RPM (Auto-Stop Off). Otherwise playback may be
interrupted before the end of the record due to the tonearm mechanism.
