Mains power connection, switching on and off
The turntable is supplied with a captive mains lead (13) which allows connection to your country's mains
supply. Check the label before plugging into the mains to ensure compliance with the mains rating in your
house. Pressing the power switch (20) alternately starts or stops the motor.
Fitting the lid
Fit the lid (dust cover 10) carefully over the hinge prongs and adjust the screws (12) until the lid stays open
where you want it to without being too stiff to open or close.
Maintenance and cleaning
Your record player requires little or no regular maintenance. Remove dust with a slightly moistened antistatic
cloth. Never use a dry cloth because this will create static electricity which attract more dust! Antistatic
cleaning fluids are available at specialist stores but must be applied sparingly to avoid damage to rubber
parts. It is recommended to fit the needle cover before cleaning or maintenance is carried out to avoid
damage.
If the player is not used over a long period of time the drive belt can be removed to prevent unequal stretching.
Always disconnect the record player from the mains power supply as a precaution before maintenance!
Useful tips
The lid is not only a dust cover but also a resonant structure likely to be excited by, and to pass into the
plinth, the acoustic energy emanating from your loudspeakers during replay. It is therefore recommended
that the lid be removed for optimum sound quality.
The finger lift (21) may be fitted on top of the headshell under the cartridge fixing bolts or nuts - not between
headshell and cartridge body - but may impair the sound quality by adding resonances. It is supplied to ease
placement of the arm over the record and may be omitted. The use of the lift (7) considerably facilitates use
of the arm without the finger lift.
The record player should be positioned on a low-resonance surface such as wood or multiple layer ply board
to avoid structural vibrations disturbing replay.
