@ Installation of turntable platter
1. Place the turntable platter on the center spindle. (Fig. 2)
Put your fingers through the two holes in the platter,
and line them up with the two recesses underneath.
Follow the reverse procedure if itis necessary to remove
the platter.
Note:
The rotor is connected to the underside of the turntable
platter. (The magnet of the motor is attached to the turn-
table platter.) To maintain optimum performance, extra
care should be taken to prevent adhesion of dust or iron
filings to the magnet and not to damage the magnet by
dropping it.
Do not remove or loosen the screws. Should the position
of the fixed magnet be altered by loosening the securing
screws, the rated performance of the unit cannot be guar-
anteed. (Fig. 3)
2. Place the turntable mat on the platter, (Fig. 4)
Line up the protrusions in the turntable mat with the
recesses in the platter {at two places, as shown).
Connections
M@ Connect the output terminals (Fig. 5)
Output terminals Amplifier or Receiver
L (White) > EI Chanre!
R (Red) ——-———> EEE Channe!
GND (Spade tug) ——$_-» Fe}
Note:
Always connect the ground cord to the GND terminal on
your amp or receiver to prevent hum.
M Connect the AC power plug
Connect the AC power plug to an AC wall socket.
Caution:
Make sure that the turntable's AC line-voltage selector is
matched to your local voltage before connecting the AC
power plug. (Fig. 5)
Never connect to a DC socket. |
If the pre-selected voltage is different from your local -
voltage, turn the AC tine-voltage selector with a screw-
driver so that it corresponds to your local voltage.
The AC line-voltage selector is located at the.bottom of
the base.
Placement
@ Place the unitina stable and horizontal position where there
is little or no vibration.
@ Place the unit away from the speakers so that it will be
subject to as little direct sound radiation as possible.
B Do not use or store this unit where it will be exposed to dust,
dirt, high humidity or high temperature. Do not place it near
heaters.
B Place itin a well ventilated location.
@ Do not use under direct sunlight, spotlights, or other ex-
tremely bright light sources.
Bright lights may cause misopeération of the optical sensor
system and therefore interference with automatic operation.
This also applies to flashlights or infrared remote control
units brought very close to the turntable.
@ Do not place it near or on top of a power amplifier, since
power amps radiate much heat.
@ Piace the turntable away from the power amp to prevent
hum.
Hum may be caused by leakage flux from the transformer in
the power amplifier (or integrated amp). Therefore, if you
notice hum, try moving the turntable to a slightly different
location, further away from the amp.
®@ if you try to listen to a radio near the turntable while it is
turning, you may hear some interference.
