Gemini XL-100 manual Operating Instructions, Specifications, PLAYING 45 RPM RECORDS, Connections

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 rear shaft. The horizontal zero (0) balance should be completed.

6.Refloat the TONE ARM 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 (7) 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.

3.Pressing the REJECT (14) button will cause the TONE ARM (7) to raise and return to the ARM REST (11) stopping play and turning the power off.

4.Pushing the START/STOP (18) button stops the PLATTER (2) and leaves the TONE ARM (7) at the last play position on the record.

PLAYING 45 RPM RECORDS:

1.When playing a 45 rpm record with a large center hole, first place the 45 ADAPTER (22) on the center spindle.

2.Be sure that the SPEED SELECTOR (20) switch is set to the 45 position and the 45 SPEED INDICATOR (19) is illuminated.

ADJUSTING THE ANTI-SKATING CONTROL:

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

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). 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 PLATTER (2).

2.Select the desired speed by sliding the SPEED SELECTOR (20) switch to either the 33 or the 45 position.

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

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

5.Push the CUE LEVER (21) to the “UP” position and move the TONE ARM (7) toward the record. The PLATTER (2) will start revolving, at which point the STROBE ILLUMINATOR (24) and the SPEED INDICA- TOR (19) (for the selected speed) will illuminate.

6.Position the tone arm over the desired groove on the record and push the CUE LEVER (21) to the “DOWN” position. The TONE ARM (7) will slowly lower onto the record at which time play will begin.

7.When play is over (at the end of the record), the TONE ARM (7) will raise automatically and return the TONE ARM to the ARM REST (11). Power to the unit will turn off automatically.

INTERRUPTING PLAY:

1.Pushing the CUE LEVER (21) to the “UP” position will cause the TONE ARM (7) to lift stopping play.

2.Pushing the CUE LEVER (21) to the “DOWN” position will cause the TONE ARM (7) to slowly lower onto the record at the point where play was interrupted.

ADJUSTING THE PITCH CONTROL:

1.The XL-100 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 (23) and the POWER (17) switch contains a built in STROBE ILLUMINA- TOR (24). When the PLATTER (2) is spinning, the STROBE ILLUMINA- TOR illuminates the STROBE RPM INDICATOR STRIP. 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 station- ary at 33 RPM-60Hz (115V).
