Connection to the amplifier
The record player has gold plated female RCA phono sockets (9) for connection to the amplifier using the
supplied interconnect cables.
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. An earthing
wire may be connected to the screw terminal between the sockets if you encounter hum problems when using
the record player.
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 the universal power supply with 3 exchangeable sockets adapters suitable for
all countries. Select the correct adapter for your country and insert the adapter to the exchangeable part of
the power supply.
Connect the low voltage plug from the power supply to the socket (8) 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 (2) over the larger diameter part of the motor pulley (11). 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 attracts 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!
