Basic operation

Turning the power on

1
Minimize the volume of the amplifier.
If using a device that cannot have its volume adjusted when it
is off, minimize the volume after turning it on .
2
Set the STANDBY/ON switch on the unit to ON.
o If the indicator above the MEASURE button is lit, press the
MEASURE button to turn it off .
3
Play a record and adjust the volume on the
amplifier.
4
Use the EQ CURVE selection knob to select the
curve that sounds natural depending on the
record being played.

Putting the unit into standby

1
If a record is being played, stop playback.
2
Minimize the volume of the amplifier.
3
Set the STANDBY/ON switch on the unit to
STANDBY.
4
Turn the amplifier off.

Setting the load impedance

When using an MC cartridge
If the MC cartridge used has a recommended load resistance (load
impedance), set it to a value near that value . If not specified, select
the value that provides the best sound quality . The lower the load
resistance is, the lower the volume will be . Higher load resistances
will increase the volume .
A standard load resistance is 100 Ω .
o This load resistance does not refer to the internal resistance of
the cartridge (internal impedance, coil impedance) .
o Select a load resistance that is high enough for the internal resis-
tance of the cartridge being used .
o Selecting a load resistance that is not large enough relative
to internal cartridge resistance will reduce sound volume and
increase noise .
When using an MM cartridge
If the MM cartridge used has a recommended load capacity, try set-
ting the knob to a position near that value . If not specified, select
the value that provides the best sound quality .

MC cartridge impedance measurement

Use a 1kHz sine wave to measure the impedance of the entire
path including the MC cartridge and the cable that connects the
analog turntable and this device . Set the unit to receive a load
impedance that is about twice the impedance determined from the
measurement .
1
Move the analog turntable tone arm away
from the record.
2
Press the MEASURE button and the indicator
will light.
o The meter will automatically switch to bright level .
3
Read the impedance from the lower indica-
tions on the meter.
ATTENTION
o MM cartridge impedance and load capacity cannot be measured .
o Do not measure impedance during record playback .
o Playback sound is not output during impedance measurement .
