Rega RP78 - Manual (Page 2)

Mount the turntable on a rigid, level surface. Avoid
mounting on hollow or heavy cabinets or anything
mounted on a flexible wooden floor. The Rega
turntable support is the ideal solution.
Keeping the lid closed while playing records will
prevent dust falling on to the record surface and
should make cleaning unnecessary. Depending on
the room environment and ambient temperature,
playing with the lid open may offer sonic
improvements. You can experiment to optimise the
performance best suited to your room.
Do not use any record cleaner that works while the
record is playing or any cleaners that use water or
solvents. If you keep your records stored in their
sleeves, avoid touching the playing surfaces and
keep all water and fluids away, cleaning should not
be necessary. Do not worry about visible dust on
the record surface, this is brushed aside by the
stylus during play. Dust collected on the stylus can
be easily blown away. In general, record cleaning
is overdone and one should not believe all the
claims made by record cleaner manufacturers.
It is recommended to leave the turntable running
during a record playing session. Switch on before
the session and only switch off after you have
finished.
Do not lift the centre hub out from the main bearing.
The bearing is factory assembled with a film of
special thick lubricant. If the centre hub is removed
this film may be disturbed and the accuracy of the
turntable could be affected. The arm earth ( or ground ) is automatically
connected through the arm cable screening. No
other earth method should be necessary.
Save the original packing in case you ever need to
transport the turntable.
Do not use any polish on the turntable or lid. To
clean, wipe gently with a soft cotton duster
damp only if required ) .
Rega turntables are designed to optimise
performance for music reproduction and therefore
no compromises have been made to give quick
start times. The normal time taken for full 78 speed
to be achieved is between 10 and 15 seconds.
Warning: Any attempt to repair or modify the
turntable or tonearm by persons other than Rega
approved personnel may invalidate the guarantee.
Should you experience any problem with your
turntable please contact your Rega dealer.
