Page 4: Unpacking
Unpacking: XL DC comes packed in three boxes. Be aware that the boxes are very heavy and that the centre of gravity might not be in the middle of the box. Inside are cutouts in the packaging blocks of firm foam for various parts of the turntable. - Page 5 Be careful not to scratch the platter with jewellery,buckle, etc. Check that the platter is resting on the subplatter. Fig. 2. XL DC platter drive DC motor tower: The three phase frequency controled DC motor is encapsulated inside the heavy brass tower Fig.

- Page 7 Position the tower so that the VTA toothed knob is facing away from the platter and that the parts holding the measuring guage are facing towards the front. For Kuzma tonearms the gap between platter and tower is 5mm.

By using the control pad the PS does not need to be readily accessible. At the rear of the PS are two female XLR outputs: 7pin XLR for motor connection and 5pin XLR for control pad.

You need to have a light which flickers with mains frequency (50Hz or 60Hz): neon or some LED bulbs. If they are slowly moving (for example if the bars move in the same direction as platter rotation) then the speed is too high.

Setting up the turntable: Tonearm mounting: Ensure that the supporting stand is completely horizontal. Mount the chosen tonearm according to instructions. Position the tonearm tower at the correct distance from the spindle. Firmly secure the armbase onto the tonearm top brass plate with two screws, using Allen key 3mm, at the side of the tower. -

Raising the VTA by rotating the toothed knob, will show increased height above this reference point in mm and lowering it will show minus numbers. The precision achieved by this is 0.01mm. If the change in height of the tonearm comes outside this range of measurement, the brass weight can be repositioned. -

Pressure should then be released by slightly unscrewing the clamp until the outer edge is touching the mat again. This is the position in which the record is held in firmest contact with the mat. With practise there is no need to stop spinning the platter while changing LPs or using the clamp. -
Page 13: Troubleshooting
The base with the subplatter can be transported as one, providing that it will not be tilted, as this may cause oil leakage. All parts are heavy, however, and can be easily damaged by sliding around a transport vehicle. Repacking in original cutouts and boxes is, therefore, recommended.
