LINE VOLTAGE
SELECTOR
SWITCH
This
turntable
is equipped
with a line voltage
selector switch which allows this turntable to be
used in locations where the power voltage is 110V,
120V, 220V or 240V.
Before your turntable is shipped from the factory,
the switch is set to the power requirements of the
turntable's destination, although you should check
that it is set properly before plugging the power
cord into the outlet. If the voltage is not properly
set or if you move to an area where the voltage
requirements differ, adjust the selector switch as
follows:
1. Disconnect the power cord.
2. Provide
yourself
with a medium-sized
screw-
driver. Insert the tip of the screwdriver into the
groove of the selector switch and turn it to the
voltage indication
corresponding to the power
voltage of your residence.
You can tell when it clicks into place.

ATTACHING
THE
CARTRIDGE
You can attach any cartridge to this turntable as
long as it weighs between 4g and 10g. Follow the
procedure
outlined below for attaching the car-
tridge.
1.Take
out
the
headshell,
cartridge
mounting
screws, nuts, washers and small-sized screwdriver
from the accessory box.
The screws
come
in three different lengths so
choose the screws according to the height of the
cartridge you intend to attach.
2. The
terminals
on
the accessory
headshell
are
aligned as shown in Fig. 2. Check the location
and polarity of each of the cartridge's terminal
pins and then connect the lead wires, taking care
not to get the polarities mixed up.

NOTE:
Do not solder when you connect the lead wires to the
cartridge. If the lead wire lugs are loose, use a pair of
tweezers or a similar device to push in the end lightly.
3. Attach
the cartridge
lightly to the headshell
using the screws, nuts and washers (Fig. 3).
4, Adjust the position of the cartridge so that the
stylus and the connector section of the headshell
are 49mm apart and tighten up the screws. Make
sure that the cartridge does not tilt to one side
when you attach it (see Fig. 4).

ATTACHING HEADSHELLS NOT MADE BY
PIONEER
You
can attach headshells made
by other com-
panies as long as the coupling portion has the same
dimensions
as the headshell supplied with your
PL-520. However, you should check whether the
terminals on the other headshell are aligned in the
same way. When attaching, make sure that you do
not neglect to carry out the four steps described
above.
