4.Place TONE ARM (7) on ARM REST (11) and lock it in place with the ARM CLAMP (10).

5.With the TONE ARM (7) locked on the ARM REST (11), hold the COUNTERWEIGHT (9) steady with one hand while rotating the STYLUS PRESSURE RING (12) until the numeral “0” on the ring aligns with the center line on the TONE ARM (7) rear shaft. The hori- zontal zero (0) balance should be completed.

6.Refloat the TONE ARM (7) to ensure horizontal zero (0) balance. If zero balance has not been maintained, repeat counterweight steps 3-5.

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 sty- lus pressure.

NOTE: THE CN- 25 CARTRIDGE THAT COMES WITH THE TURNTABLE HAS A RECOMMENED TRACKING FORCE OF 3.0 GRAMS AND CAN have RANGE FROM 2.5 - 3.5 GRAMS.

7.Push the CUE LEVER (20) to the “UP” position.

8.Position the tone arm over the desired position on the record and push the CUE LEVER (20) 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 (7), move it to the ARM REST (11), and secure it with the ARM CLAMP (10).

10.You now have the option of turning off the power by turning the POWER (14) switch to the “OFF” position, or stopping the PLATTER

(2) by pushing the START/STOP (17) button and engaging the electronic brake.

INTERRUPTING PLAY:

1.Pushing the CUE LEVER (20) to the “UP” position will cause the TONE ARM (7) to lift stopping play.

2.Pushing the CUE LEVER (20) to the “DOWN” position will cause the TONE ARM (7) to slowly lower onto the record at the point where play was interrupted.

3.Pushing the START/STOP (17) button stops the PLATTER (2) and leaves the TONE ARM (7) at the last play position on the record.

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.

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).

NOTE: 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 RUBBER MAT (5) which sits on the PLAT- TER (2).

2.Select the desired speed by depressing the 33 or 45 SPEED SELECTOR (19) button.

3.Turn the POWER (14) switch to the “ON” position, at which point the STROBE ILLUMINATOR (built into the POWER (14) switch 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.

PLAYING 45 RPM RECORDS:

1.When playing a 45 rpm record with a large center hole, first place the 45 ADAPTER (21) on the center spindle.

2.Be sure that the SPEED SELECTOR (19) switch is set to the 45 position and the 45 SPEED INDICATOR (18) is illuminated.

ADJUSTING THE PITCH CONTROL:

1.The XL-120 MKII is equipped with two PITCH CONTROLS (15, 16), one for each speed.

2.When the selected speed’s PITCH CONTROL (15, 16) is positioned off center, the pitch can vary +/- 6%.

3.The PLATTER (2) is equipped with a STROBE RPM INDICATOR STRIP (22). When the PLATTER (2) is spinning, the STROBE ILLU- MINATOR (23) illuminates the STROBE RPM INDICATOR STRIP (22). The bottom row of dots will appear to be stationary when the speed of the platter is exactly 33 RPM-50 Hz (230V) and the top row will appear to be stationary at 33 RPM-60Hz (115V).
