OPERATING THE GRAMOPHONE
Before use, please make sure to:
-
Remove the stylus protector.
-
Ensure the tone arm is free to move from the tone arm rest. Lock the tone arm in place again when not in
use.
Listening to records
1. Set the FUNCTION selector (7) on the PHONO position and lift the turntable dust cover
2. Place a record on the turntable, over the central spindle. Place the EP adapter over the central spindle
when playing 17cm EP records.
3. Set the Speed selector (8) to 33, 45 or 78 rpm depending on the record.
4. Lift the tone arm from the tone arm rest by using the Lift lever (6) and slowly move it over the record. The
Turntable platter (1) will start turning.
5. Place the tone arm (4) on the desired position of the record.
6. Gently lower the tone arm onto the record to start playing.
7. When the record is finished the tone arm will automatically stop. Lift the tone arm from the record and put it
back on the rest.
8. To stop manually, lift the tone arm from the record and return it to the rest.
Note: Do not stop or turn the platter manually.
Moving or jarring the turntable without securing the tone arm clamp could result in damage to
the tone arm.
Replace the protective cap on the stylus when not in use.
AUTO-STOP SWITCH OPERATION
Certain types of records may have an auto-stop area outside the pre-set limit, so the turntable may stop
before the last track finishes. If this occurs, set the AUTO-STOP switch (9) to the OFF position. This allows
the record to play to the end, but please note that it will not stop automatically. You must manually raise the
tone arm and place it back in the rest and then turn the power OFF to stop the turntable from spinning.
LINE-OUT CONNECTION
You can connect this unit to an external stereo system or amplifier by connecting the RCA LINE-OUT jacks
(18) to the auxiliary input jacks on your stereo or amplifier with RCA cables (not included).
Note:
The unit’s Volume Control (11) will not adjust the volume when line-out jacks are in use.
USING HEADPHONES (NOT INCLUDED)
Plugging your headphones into the Headphone jack (13) will allow you to listen in private.
PLEASE READ THIS IMPORTANT INFORMATION BEFORE USING YOUR HEADPHONES
1. Avoid extended play at a very high volume as it may impair your hearing.
2. If you experience ringing in your ears, reduce the volume or shut off your unit.
3. Keep the volume at a reasonable level even if your headset is an open-air type designed to allow you to
hear outside sounds. Note that excessively high volume may still block outside sounds.
WARNING! Risk of hearing impairment
Set the volume on the playback device to low before connecting the
headphones to the sound source.
