THORENS 550 user manual For playing your records proceed as follows

Page 38

For playing your records proceed as follows:

Open dustcover, take the record from its cover and in- ner sleeve and put it on platter. Never play your records without the protective felt mat! A special adaptor has been supplied for single records with large centre hole. It is highly recommended to always remove surface dust with the help of a special carbon brush or anti-static tissue before each playback. Older or very dusty records can be thoroughly cleaned with a dedicated record washing ma- chine. This procedure will also improve sound quality.

Switch motor on and the select speed according to the record to be played. Unlock tonearm from its rest and move it over the desired piece to be played. By lowering the tonearm lift lever the tonearm is slowly descending.

You may have the dustcover closed during playback but sound waves from the speakers can excite the air beneath the cover and thus induce sonic distortions.

IMPORTANT: if you want to lift the tonearm up by the lever, do it smoothly in order to avoid that the tonearm is bounc- ing about the record.

This record player does not feature any automatic shut-off facility at the end of the record. Therefore, as soon as the stylus has reached the lead-out groove, the tonearm is to be lifted up manually by the lever and the motor switched off.
