Unpacking and set - up
Take the record player and all accessories out
of the carton. Remove the two transportation
locks (Fig. 1) by applying lateral pressure. The
locks are located underneath the platter at the
front left and at the rear right. Put the platter
onto the sub-platter and press down the two
safety springs until they set into the groove of
the platter spindle (Fig. 2). Insert each hinge
into the respective recess (Fig. 3). Hold the
dust cover parallel to the hinges (opening
angle approximately 60°), insert and push as
far as it will go. Being in this position the dust
cover may be removed at any time.

IMPORTANT!
ALWAYS KEEP THE SHIPPING CARTON IN A DRY PLACE FOR THE EVENT THAT THE RE-
CORD PLAYER HAS TO BE PACKED AGAIN FOR TRANSPORTATION.
IN THIS CASE IT IS IMPORTANT TO DETACH THE PLATTER AND PUT IT ON THE BOTTOM
OF THE SHIPPINGBOX; JUST AS IT WAS ORIGINALLY DELIVERED TO YOU.
Electrical connections
By choosing the appropriate THORENS mains trans-
former this record player can be operated from
nearly all existing public mains supplies. The
low-voltage plug on the cable that is coming from
the mains transformer unit is to be inserted into jack
17 (Fig. 4) at the rear side of the record player.
The stereo signal leads have two phono plugs which
are also known as "Cinch" or RCA-plugs. They are
marked with either the letter "L" for the left channel
or "R" for the right channel. lf these letters are
missing then most likely the right channel is marked
red, perhaps by featuring a red plug at both ends,
and the left channel is marked white or black accord-
ingly. The RCA-plugs are inserted into the phono
input jacks of an amplifier or receiver. The separate
single litz-wire is making a connection to ground and
is to be fastened underneath the ground screw of the
amplifier or receiver
