Connection to the amplifier
The record player has a captive tonearm signal lead (9) for connection to the amplifier. Use the Phono
input (sometimes labelled gram, disc or RIAA) on your amplifier. Make sure that the phono input offers
correct matching and amplification for the type of cartridge used. Line inputs (such as CD, Tuner, Tape or
Video) are not suitable.
Take care to connect the left and right channels correctly. The right channel is usually marked red, the
left channel black or white. Check the manual supplied with your amplifier for relevant information. The
earthing wire of the tonearm lead should be connected to the earth terminal on your amplifier (if
provided).
If your amplifier does not have an input suitable for phono cartridges you will require a separate phono
amplifier stage for MM or MC cartridges which is then connected between the record player and a free
line level input of the amplifier.

The recommended load impedance for the factory fitted cartridge is: 47kohms /MM-input
Mains power connection
The turntable is supplied with a power supply suitable for your country's mains supply. Check the label
before connecting to ensure compliance with the mains rating in your house.
Connect the low voltage plug from the power supply to the socket (10) on the rear of the record player
before
connecting the power supply to the mains.
Switching on and off
Pressing the power switch (1) alternately starts or stops the motor.
Changing replay speed
Put the belt (22) over the larger diameter part of the motor pulley (2). To revert to 33 r.p.m. repeat the
proceedings using the smaller step on the pulley.

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!
