OPERATION
Locating and Levelling
Set the turntable on a level surface, near to your power
amplifier. For precise levelling, the shock-mount feet can be
raised or lowered by rotating. Make sure as far as possible
that the unit is located where it will not be subjected to
excessive vibration, or to being bumped.
Connecting Up
Insert the plugs of the stereo cord into the output jacks of
the turntable, and connect the spade terminal of the black
(grounding) wire to the screw terminal. Connect the other
ends of the cord to the input jacks and ground terminal (or
chassis) of your power amplifier. Take care to observe the
color coding of the plugs for left and right channels.
Connect the power cord to the unit, and plug in to a
convenient wall outlet. The turntable is now ready for use.
Operation
Place a record on the turntable. Depress the speed selector
button for the correct speed, and switch on the power,
Adjust the speed precisely by turning the appropriate
speed control knob until the applicable strobe ring on the
edge of the platter appears to come to a stop. Four strobo
rings are marked, select the correct one according to record
speed and power supply frequency, by reference to the
designation on the turntable escutcheon plate, below the
neon lamp. If the power frequency is not perfectly stable,
as in some localities adjust for minimum motion of the
strobo ring.
When the record is finished, or to interrupt play at any
time, raise the armlift lever to lift the stylus clear of the
record, Return the tone arm to the armrest and switch off
the power.
