Connection to the amplifier
The record player has a captive tonearm signal lead (14) for connection to the amplifier. Use the Phono input (sometimes labelled gram, disc or RIAA) on your amplifier. Make sure that the phono input offers correct matching and amplification for the type of cartridge used. Line inputs (such as CD, Tuner, Tape or Video) are not suitable.
Take care to connect the left and right channels correctly. The right channel is usually marked red, the left channel black or white. Check the manual supplied with your amplifier for relevant information. The earthing wire of the tonearm lead should be connected to the earth terminal on your amplifier (if provided).
If your amplifier does not have an input suitable for phono cartridges you will require a separate phono amplifier stage for MM or MC cartridges such as the

Fitting the lid
Fit the lid (dust cover 10) carefully over the hinge prongs and adjust the screws (12) until the lid stays open where you want it to without being too stiff to open or close.
Using the automatic start & stop facility
Before starting record replay, lower the tonearm lift lever until it is about horizontal. By switching the power on/off switch (20) record replay can be started and stopped at any position across the record. The tonearm lift is raised or lowered accordingly when the power is turned on or off.
The tonearm cannot be lowered manually whilst the turntable is turned off, as it is held in position by an electromagnetic switch.
The manual lift function is only available when the turntable is turned on and the platter is revolving.
Changing replay speed
To play records at 45 r.p.m. first remove the platter (5). Using the accessory tool provided (3a), hook the belt
(3)over the larger diameter part of the motor pulley (2). Refit the platter. To revert to 33,33 r.p.m. repeat the proceedings using the smaller step on the pulley.
Automatic switch-off
When the needle reaches the runout groove the motor is turned off by the electronic circuit, which also controls a mechanical link to activate the tonearm lift.
Maintenance and cleaning
Your record player requires little or no regular maintenance. Remove dust with a slightly moistened antistatic cloth. Never use a dry cloth because this will create static electricity which attract more dust! Antistatic cleaning fluids are available at specialist stores but must be applied sparingly to avoid damage to rubber parts. It is recommended to fit the needle cover before cleaning or maintenance is carried out to avoid damage.
If the player is not used over a long period of time the drive belt can be removed to prevent unequal stretching.

Always disconnect the record player from the mains power supply as a precaution before maintenance!
