LEVELING THE HW-19 MK-4
The MK-
4’s on/off switch is on the left front of the base’s “skirt.” It is a push-push
type switch with two positions, “in” and “out.” Push it a couple of times and make
sure that it is in the “out” position.
Plug the MK-4 power cord into the motor assembly socket and into an outlet that
provides the required voltage as indicated on the carton.
Depress the on/off switch. The turntable should start and come up to speed. Please
note that the MK-4 is not a broadcast turntable and does not come up to speed
within one revolution. The type of high-torque motor that is required for such a rapid
start would degrade the audio performance of the turntable.
In the unlikely event that the motor does not start, first check to make sure that the
wall outlet is “live” by plugging in a lamp or some other device known to be working.
If the outlet is live and the MK-4 does not work, please contact your dealer or the
factory for advice and needed repair.
NOTE:
The motor will take from 5-
6 hours to “break in.” In other words, the MK-4’s
performance will subtly improve during this time as the motor bearings reach their
operating norm.
Place the MK-4 on the shelf on which it will be used. With the turntable running at 33,
the belt will run parallel to the chassis and within the middle 1/3 of the platter. You do
not have to be fanatical about this, leveling by eye is sufficient. However, if you do want
to be a fanatic, put a bubble level on the platter. Center the bubble by rotating the
base’s rubber feet to raise or lower each corner as needed.
