Make sure that the phono input offers correct matching and amplification for the type of cartridge used. Line
inputs (like CD, Tuner, Tape or Video) are not suitable.
Take care about connecting the left and right channel correctly. The RIGHT CHANNEL is usually marked
RED, the LEFT CHANNEL BLACK or WHITE. Check the manual of your amplifier for relevant information. An
earthing wire may be connected to the screw terminal between the sockets if you encounter humming
problems.
If your amplifier does not have an input suitable for phono cartridges, a separate phono amplifier stage for
MM or MC cartridges is required. It has to be connected between record player and a free line level input of
the amplifier.

6. 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 (20) on the rear of the record
player before connecting the power supply to the mains.
7. FITTING THE LID
Fit the lid (dust cover 18) carefully over the hinge prongs and adjust the screws (17) until the lid stays open
where you want it to without being too stiff to open or close.
8. SWITCHING ON AND OFF
Press the main power button (21) to start the turntable.
9. CHANGING REPLAY SPEED
To play records at 33 r.p.m. press the speed control button (3). Pressing the speed control button one more
time selects 45 r.p.m.. The selected speed is shown respectively by the flashing LED. When the platter has
attained full speed, the LEDs stop flashing.
To be able to play 78 r.p.m. the flat drive belt has to be removed and the round drive belt has to be fitted
around the sub-platter (6) and the larger diameter part of the motor pulley (4). To do so the main platter (1)
has to be removed.
After the round drive belt has been fitted, pressing the speed control button two times selects 78 r.p.m..
When full speed is attained the LED 45 stops flashing.
10. ADJUSTING THE VERTICAL TRACKING ANGLE (VTA)
Put a record on the platter. When the needle is lowered into the record groove and the tonearm is not resting on
the lift arm, the tube of the tonearm should be parallel to the surface of the record.
If it is not, loosen both hexagon screws in the tonearm base just enough to allow vertical movement of the
arm pillar without force and slide the arm up or down until it is parallel.
Retighten the hexagon screws without applying excessive force (which would deform the arm pillar) – finger
tight is quite sufficient.
