STOPPING THE TURNTABLE DURING PLAY
Press the CUT button gently (until you hear the
sound of the return mechanism being actuated).
The stylus will rise slowly from the surface of the
record and the tonearm will return to the arm rest.
The power to the turntable is then turned off and
the platter comes to rest a few seconds later.
NOTE:
Zf you push the CUT button during repeat glay, the tone-
¢rm will return to the arm rest ¢nd back again to the
record for repeat play.
INTERRUPTING RECORD PLAY
Set the ARM ELEVATION lever to the UP posi-
tion. The arm elevation mechanism is independent
of tpe auto mechanism and so the tonearm will
ascend and descend irrespective of whether the
turntable is set to auto play or to manual play.
This is a convenient function since it allows you to
choose just the tracks you want to hear from an
LP.
RELEASING REPEAT•PLAY MECHANISM
The repeat mechanism only is released when you
push the REPEAT button during repeat play and
then take your finger off the button. The turntable
is then set to the normal auto play mode.
OPERATION PRECAUTIONS
• Always set the RECORD SIZE selector before
you push the START and REPEAT button
when you want to set the turntable to the
auto play or repeat play modes. This is because
the stylus will not descend where you want
it to descend if you change the setting of the
RECORD SIZE selector while the tonearm is
moving. You may also damage the stylus and the
record.
m Always clean the stylus both before and after
playing a record with a soft brush and try to
make it a rule to clean the records with a good
quality cleaner.
o When changing over the headshell, clamp the
tonearm to the arm rest so that the tonearm
shaft is not strained in any way.
• Be careful not to make the turntable vibrate
while a record is playing since this can result in
damage to the stylus and record.
• Do not force the tonearm closer than 40mm to
the center shaft or away from the arm rest. If
this distance is exceeded, you may damage the
internal mechanisms and render automatic ope-
ration ineffective.
e Place only one record at a time on the platter. If
two or more records are stacked on the platter,
the stylus will not make proper contact with
the grooves, and this will impair the quality of
reproduction.
m Do not disconnect the power cord while the
stylus is still in a record groove as this may result
in damage to the stylus and record.
~. 1
If the stylus does not descend onto the lead-in
groove on the record during automatic play, adjust
as follows:
1. Place a 30em (12-inch) LP record on the platter.
2. Go through the operation for automatic play
once (refer to page 8), and check the level and
direction of the stylus' deviation from the norm.
3. Return the tonearm to the arm rest, and then
turn and adjust the stylus descent-position
adjusting screw using the accessory screwdriver
(see Fig. 11, 12).
• When the stylus descends outside the lead-in
groove, turn the adjusting screw clockwise.
• When the stylus descends inside the lead-in
groove, turn the adjusting screw counter-
clockwise.
o Each half-turn of the adjusting screw moves
the starting point about 6mm.
NOTE:
Be very careful not to damage the record and the stylus
when you are adjusting the position of the stylus descent.
