Connecting the device

Audio connection

The record player has an inbuilt preamplifier and can therefore be connected directly to the
Line In / Aux input on a hi-fi system.
• Connect the audio cable to the Line In / Aux input on your hi-fi system (red plug = right
channel; white plug = left channel).
USB port
You will find information on connecting the record player to a PC in the section "Converting
records to digital files".

Mains connection

• Connect the device by means of the mains plug to an easily accessible wall socket.
Repositioning the driving belt
Severe jolts (during transport, for example) may cause the record player's driving belt to slip
off. To put it back into position, do as follows:
1. Remove the mains plug from the wall socket.
2. Take the rubber mat off the turntable.
3. Turn the turntable to the position illustrated.
4. Pull the driving belt out slightly and place it on the drive wheel as shown in the illustration.
Playing records
To achieve the best quality when playing or converting your records to digital files you should
observe the following information:
• Check the stylus regularly. You can brush off fluff and small bits of dirt with a soft brush,
brushing from the back to the front. For more stubborn dirt, add a little cleaning spirit to the
brush.
For information on how to change the stylus refer to "Changing the stylus".
• Secure the tone arm and turntable when transporting the device.
