HEIGHT ADJUSTMENTS
The diagram shows the points at which height
adjustments may become necessary. If the tone-
arm does not descend far enough for the stylus
tip to come into contact with the record sur-
face, use the hexagonal wrench to slacken the
hexagonal grub-screw retaining the cueing guide
(1) and lower it just sufficiently for free contact
to be made. Similarly slacken the retaining screw
(2) for the arm rest if its height needs to ad-
justed, and re-tighten after adjustment.
CONNECTIONS TO YOUR AMPLIFIER
OR RECEIVER
1.Plug the right- and left-hand channel leads from
the back of the YP-D6, clearly identified by
both letters and colors, L (white, left) and R
(red, right), into the left- and right-hand
PHONO input sockets of your amplifier or
receiver, etc.
2.The third, black, lead is the GROUND lead, and
hum will usually be reduced if this is attached
to the GND terminal of the amplifier (receiver).
3.Plug the turntable main plug into your AC
main supply socket or a spare AC outlet on
the rear panel of the amp., if one is provided.

HOW TO PLAY RECORDS

1. Set the input selector of your receiver or ampli-
fier to PHONO.
2. Put the record of your choice on the turntable.
If you have chosen an extended-play record
with the larger center hole, use the EP adaptor.
3. Set the cueing lever in the 'DOWN'
4. Bring the tonearm off the arm rest and place
the stylus over the lead-in groove.
5. Push the button for the appropriate speed. If
the pattern on the skirt of the turntable does
not appear to be stationary by the light of
the stoboscope, alter the fine speed control
knob for that speed until the pattern becomes
stationary.
6. The fine speed controls can also be used to
bring the recorded sound perfectly in tune
with a musical instrument of your own.
7. Depress the PLAY/CUT push-button. The
record will start to rotate, the tonearm
will slowly descend, and the record audition
will commence.
8. At the end of the record, the arm will auto-
matically lift and return to its rest, switching
the motor off.
9. If you wish to stop playing the record before
the end, press the PLAY/CUT button at any
time, and the arm will lift, return to its rest,
and the motor will turn off.
