7.After adjusting the horizontal zero (0) balance, turn the balanced COUNTERWEIGHT (9) counter clockwise until the cartridge manufacturer’s recommend stylus pressure appears on the STYLUS PRESSURE RING (12) where it meets the center line of the TONE ARM

(7) rear shaft.

ADJUSTING THE ANTI-SKATING CONTROL:

Set the ANTI-SKATING CONTROL (13) to the same value as the stylus pressure.

NOTE: IF YOUR TURNTABLE CAME WITH A CN-25 CARTRIDGE, IT HAS A RECOMMENED TRACKING FORCE OF 3.0 GRAMS AND CAN HAVE RANGE FROM 2.5-3.5 GRAMS.

INSTALLING THE DUSTCOVER:

1.Hold the dustcover in position, directly above the turntable, and slide the hinge bases into the holders mounted on the rear panel.

2.Always raise the dustcover before removal.

3.Avoid opening and closing the dustcover during play. Undesirable vibration and stylus skipping can result.

PLAYING 45 RPM RECORDS:

1.When playing a 45 RPM record with a large center hole, first place the 45 ADAPTER (19) on the center spindle.

2.Be sure that the 45 SPEED SELECTOR (14) button is pushed and the 45 speed indicator is illuminated.

ADJUSTING THE PITCH CONTROL:

1.The XL-200 is equipped with a PITCH CONTROL (20). When the PITCH CONTROL is in the center position the speed will be 33 or 45 depending on which SPEED SELECTOR (14) button is pushed.

2.When the PITCH CONTROL (20) is positioned off center, the pitch can vary ±10% depending on the position of the PITCH CONTROL.

3.The PLATTER (2) is equipped with a STROBE RPM INDICATOR STRIP (21). When the PLATTER (2) is spinning, the STROBE LIGHTS (16) illuminate the STROBE RPM INDICATOR STRIP. At 60 Hz the bottom row of dots will appear to be stationary when the speed of the platter is exactly 45 RPM and the second row from the bottom will appear to be stationary at 33 RPM. At 50 Hz, the second row from the top represents 45 RPM and the top row represents 33 RPM.

CONNECTIONS:

1.Plug the AC power plug into an appropriate outlet.

2.See Table A for proper connection of the output RCA plugs and ground connector. Make sure that all the plugs are firmly plugged into the appropriate jacks (phono inputs). To reduce hum, make sure the ground lug is firmly connected to the ground screw.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS:

BASIC OPERATION:

1.Place a record on the SLIPMAT (5) which sits on the PLATTER (2).

2.Select the desired speed by depressing the 33 or 45 SPEED SELECTOR (14) button.

3.Turn the POWER (15) switch to the “ON” position, at which point the STROBE LIGHTS (16) and the speed indicator (for the selected speed) will illuminate.

4.Remove the stylus protector (if applicable to your cartridge).

5.Release the ARM CLAMP (10) found on the ARM REST (11).

6.Push the START/STOP (17) button. The turntable PLATTER (2) will start to spin.

7.Push the CUE LEVER (18) to the “UP” position.

8.Position the tone arm over the desired position on the record and push the CUE LEVER to the “DOWN” position. The TONE ARM (7) will slowly lower onto the record at which time play will begin.

9.When play is over, raise the TONE ARM, move it to the ARM REST, and secure it with the ARM CLAMP.

10.You now have the option of turning off the power by turning the POWER

(15)switch to the “OFF” position, or stopping the PLATTER (2) by pushing the START/STOP (17) button.
