Jensen JTA-450 Tips for Best Reception, Bass Boost Operation, Playing Phono Records

TIPS FOR BEST RECEPTION

AM – The AM antenna is located inside the cabinet of the main unit. If AM reception is weak, change the position of cabinet until the internal antenna picks up the strongest AM signal.

FM – During FM reception, always keep the FM Wire Antenna fully extended. If FM reception is weak try repositioning the FM Wire Antenna until you find the strongest FM signal.

BASS BOOST OPERATION

To enhance the low frequency sound, press the BASS BOOST BUTTON (13) once (button in) to activate. Press the BASS BOOST Button (13) again (button out) to turn the Bass Boost off.

Note :

Please refer to the ON/OFF graphic on the Front Panel for correct operation of the Bass Boost function.

PLAYING PHONO RECORDS

1.Raise the Turntable Dust Cover.

2.Remove the stylus protector and release the Tone Arm Clamp (6).

3.Slide the Function Selector (12) to “PHONO”.

4.Place a record on the turntable, over the center spindle.

5.Set the Speed Selector Switch to 33, 45 or 78 rpm according to the record you are playing. Place the included 45 RPM adaptor (2) over the center spindle when playing 45 rpm records.

6.Move the Tone Arm to the beginning of the record or to the beginning of a particular track. Gently lower the Tone Arm onto the record to start playing. Adjust the Volume if needed. The Turntable will stop automatically when the record finishes.

7.To stop the record before it ends, lift the Tone Arm (4) using the Cue-lever (3) and return it carefully onto the Tone Arm Clamp (6).

8.Replace the stylus protector on the stylus when not in use.

NOTE:

i.Do not stop or turn the platter manually.

ii.Moving or jarring the turntable without securing the Tone arm clamp could result in damage to the Tone arm.

AUTO-STOP SWITCH OPERATION

The Auto-Stop area on some records may extend beyond the preset setting. As a result the turntable could possibly stop before the last track finishes. If you experience this during playback, set the AUTO-STOP Switch (27) located on the back of the unit to the “OFF” position. The turntable will now run to the end of the record, but will no longer stop automatically. To stop the turntable you will need to either set the Function Selector (12) to the OFF position or return the AUTO-STOP Switch (27) to the “ON” position. After the record stops, lift and return the Tone Arm (4) carefully back onto the Tone Arm Clamp (6).
