38 THORENS TD 1601
Thorens TD 1601
The Thorens TD 1601 is a semi-automatic turnta-
ble with a built-in electric lift and contactless auto
stop function. Therefore, the tonearm of the TD
1601 does not have a manual lift lever but is con-
trolled by a touch-tone button.
The platter is started just like the TD 1600 by se-
lecting the speed.
The electrical lift
Basically, the lift is controlled by a button on the
front right of the cover plate (Fig. 18). The color
of the encircling ring indicates whether it is above
(green) or below (red).
Once the main power switch on the power sup-
ply (Fig. 12) is switched on, the lift is operational.
By pressing the button (Fig. 18) it will move up or
down independent of the motor.
In default position, after switching on TD 1601,
the lift is in position “up”, coloured by a green ring
around the switch button marked (Fig. 18).
The tonearm is manually guided over the record
and lowered by pressing the button again. The
color of the ring around the button changes to red
(Fig. 19).
