• Never try to operate the unit with a different voltage.
• Only use the supplied power supply or an original Dual alternative.
• The mains plug should only be connected after installation has been completed according to the instructions.
• Use a suitable, easily accessible mains connection and avoid using multiple sockets!
• This socket should be as close to the unit as possible.
• Make sure the power cable or plug is always easily accessible so that the unit can be disconnected quickly from the power supply!
• Lay the mains cable in such a way that no one can trip over it and do not place any heavy objects on the mains cable.
• Fully insert the mains plug into the socket.
• Do not touch the mains plug with wet handsrisk of electric shock!
• If the mains plug of the unit is defective or if the unit shows other damage, it must not be operated.
• When unplugging the mains cable from the socket pull on the mains plug, not on the cable.
Disconnect the mains plug from the socket if you do not intend to use the unit for a prolonged period. Only pull on the plug itself.
• In the event of malfunctions or smoke and odour coming from the housing disconnect the mains plug from the socket immediately!
• Before a thunderstorm sets in, disconnect the mains plug from the socket.

Set Up
Platter installation
1. Place the platter on the turntable spindle.
2. Now place the turntable mat on the platter.
Tonearm
The tonearm is secured at the tonearm rest with a coated wire and the safety clip.
Remove and discard the coated wire and open the safety clip to play the record.
Fitting the headshell
Fit the removable headshell onto the tonearm as described below: (pic. 2)
1. Place the headshell (1) into the socket (2) at the end of the tonearm (3).
2. Hold the headshell, while turning the socket (2) in the direction of the arrow.
Counterweight fitting
Fit the supplied counterweight (2) onto the tonearm (1) by screwing it on from behind.
Keep the dial facing forward. The counterweight is used to set the correct tracking force
for the pick-up. (pic. 3)
Balancing the tonearm
Damage to the stylus
Ensure that the stylus does not come in contact with
the platter mat, or any other part of the turntable.
1. Place the turntable on an even horizontal surface.
2. Remove the stylus guard (page 20).
3. Lower the tonearm lift via the tonearm lift lever.
4. Position the tonearm in between the platter and the tonearm rest. (not resting on the stylus)
5. Turn the anti-skating dial (3) to „0” (pic. 3).
6. Turn the counterweight (2) backwards or forwards until the tonearm reaches a horizontal balance.
7. Place the balanced tonearm back onto the tonearm rest and secure it with the clip.
8. (Pic 4) Hold the counterweight (1) in position while turning the tracking force dial (2) to „0“ (12 o’clock position).
Tracking force
The tracking force needs to be adjusted according to the installed pick-up. (pic. 4)
1. Adjust the entire counterweight (1) including the scale to the required weight (2).
2. The tracking force weight can be read from the scale.
Note:
The recommended force / weight for the supplied pick up is between 1,6 g and 2,0 g.
If in doubt, please consult the pick-up manufacturer for recommended values.
Anti-Skating-adjustment
The skating force pulls the tonearm towards the centre of the platter. This increases the
pressure on the inside wall of the groove. The ANTI-Skating force compensates
this movement and ensures the ideal tracking of the stereo information on the vinyl.
• Set the Anti-skating dial (1) to the same value setting as the tracking force. (pic. 5)
