To Amplifier or
Powered Speakers
Ground Cable
Second Ground Cable
(Not included)
Step Seven: Connecting the RCA and Ground Cables
This turntable does not have an internal preamp so an external preamp or an amplifier with a
PHONO input must be used. Connect the RCA and ground cable to the back of the turntable
and then connect the other end to your external preamp or the PHONO input and ground
terminal on your amplifier. Ensure the cable colors are matched to the RCA connector colors.
Note: The included RCA cable is a high quality cable with a <90pF capacitance rating. For best performance it is
recommended that any other RCA connections use a similarly rated cable. The Fluance RCA cable is available at
www.uance.com/turntable-accessories
Step Eight: Connecting the Power Adapter
Ensure the power adapter is securely connected to a power outlet. Insert the power cable into
the power input on the back of the turntable. It is recommended to reconfirm with the bubble
level that the turntable is still level after setup is complete.
Important: When using an external preamp one ground cable should be connected between the turntable and the
preamp. A second ground cable (Not Included) should be connected between the preamp and the amplier/powered
speakers. Failure to connect both ground cables can result in unwanted noise/hum.
Important: The ground cable must be connected to both turntable and amplier. Failure to connect to both can result in
unwanted noise/humming.
Turntable Amplifier
OPTION 2
Important: Only use the ofcial power adapter included with your turntable.

Step Nine: Playing a Record
Tip: For best audio performance the dust cover should be removed during playback.
Note: When the turntable is not in use the speed selection knob should be set to OFF to turn the turntable completely off.
The turntable setup is now complete! Enjoy your Fluance turntable. Should you require any
further assistance please visit us at www.uance.com/support for how-to videos and guides.
Break In Period
To experience the peak performance of your turntable, it is recommended to allow the cartridge
to break in. The break in period for cartridges included with Fluance turntables is 20 hours of
normal playback.
1. Lift the dust cover
2. Place a record on the spindle (use the
45 Adapter if necessary)
3. Turn the speed selection knob to the
correct RPM typically listed on your
record (Normal LP playback speed is 33
RPM)
4. Unlock the tonearm lock
5. Lift the cueing lever
6. Move the tonearm to the desired
starting point
7. Lower the cueing lever
Note: The auto stop function will take approximately 30 seconds at the end of the record before the turntable stops spinning.
Due to variances in vinyl record production some records may not work correctly with the auto stop function.
Auto Stop Function
The auto stop function is designed to extend the life of your stylus. At the end of a record,
the platter will automatically stop spinning if auto stop is enabled. This feature will also require
that the tonearm is moved over the record before the platter will start spinning at the selected
speed.
If the auto stop switch is set to the OFF position the platter will begin spinning as soon as
the speed selection knob is set to 33 or 45. To stop the record from spinning set the speed
selection knob to the OFF position.

Troubleshooting
Turntable Not Spinning
• Turn the speed selection knob to 33 or 45 (power LED should light up). Lift the tonearm
over the platter and it should start spinning.
• The turntable should be connected to a known good power outlet and the power cable
should be securely inserted into the unit.
• Ensure the rubber belt is intact and hooked around the platter and the motor pulley.
No Power
• The turntable should be connected to a known good power outlet and the power
cable should be securely inserted into the unit.
• The power LED should light up when the speed selection knob is set to 33 or 45.
Wrong Speed
• Check the record label for the correct playback speed and that the speed selection knob is
set to match it. Normal LP playback speed is 33 1/3 RPM, but some play at 45 RPM.
Skipping
• Ensure the record surface is clear of dirt and debris. Also check that the record is not
warped or deformed.
• Inspect the stylus tip for built up dirt or debris. Use a stylus cleaning brush to clean if
necessary.
• Ensure the turntable is on a sturdy and level surface and properly leveled using the
adjustable feet.
• Use the instructions in step four of the first time setup instructions to confirm the tonearm
was balanced correctly and set to the correct tracking force for the included cartridge.
• Check that the anti-skating control is set to match the tracking force.
Audio Feedback
• If audio feedback occurs ensure the speakers are positioned away from the turntable.
The turntable should not be placed in front of the speakers or on the same surface as
the speakers.
• For best audio performance the dust cover should be removed during playback.
• Playback at excessive volume can cause feedback. If feedback is occurring decrease
volume or lower bass levels.
• If using an external preamp with a rumble filter, turn it on to reduce resonance feedback.

17
Cueing Lever Not Lowering Tonearm
• Use instructions in step four of the first time setup instructions to confirm the tonearm was
balanced and set to the correct tracking force.
• Lock the tonearm and lower the cueing lever. Gently press down on the tonearm bridge until
fully lowered to reset the tonearm lowering mechanism.
Low Volume
• Check the RCA connections are correct and fully inserted. (See Step Seven)
• If the turntable is directly connected to an amplifier it must have a PHONO input.
• The turntable does not include an internal preamp so an external preamp or amplifier with
PHONO input must be used with the turntable. The Fluance High Fidelity Phono Preamp
(PA10) is designed for the Reference Series turntables and is available on www.uance.com.
Humming Sound
• Connect the ground wire to your external preamp or amplifier. If using an external
preamp ensure the second ground wire is connected from the preamp to the amplifier
/powered speakers.
• Ensure the headshell is fully tightened and secured.
• The turntable and other devices should be directly connected to a power outlet. It is
recommended to avoid power bars or extension cables.
• Ensure the speakers are positioned away from the turntable. The turntable should not
be placed in front of the speakers or on the same surface as the speakers.
Audio From Only One Channel
• Test the speakers with another device such as a CD Player or Smartphone.
• Confirm the tonearm is balanced and using the correct tracking force.
• Disconnect and reconnect the RCA cables ensuring they are fully inserted.
• Try a different set of RCA cables.
• Remove the headshell from the tonearm and use rubbing alcohol on a cotton swab to clean
the contacts on the back of the headshell. Reinstall the headshell ensuring the locking nut is
tightened completely.
