Frequently Asked Questions - CS 731 Q DUAL

How do I set up the turntable?
Place the turntable on a level, stable surface. Connect the RCA cables to your amplifier's phono input. If your amplifier lacks a phono input, use a separate phono preamp. Plug in the power adapter.

For detailed steps, refer to the setup section of the manual.
How do I change the speed (33/45/78 RPM)?
Locate the speed selector switch on the front or side of the turntable. Move it to the desired speed. For fine adjustment, use the pitch control knob while observing the strobe markings on the platter edge.

Note: 78 RPM records require a proper stylus (not included).
How do I replace the stylus (needle)?
To replace the stylus, gently pull the old stylus forward and downward to remove it. Insert the new stylus by aligning it with the cartridge body and pushing it upward until it clicks into place.

Use only a Dual-compatible stylus to avoid damage.
Why is there no sound coming from the speakers?
Check the following: 1) Ensure the RCA cables are firmly connected to both turntable and amplifier. 2) Verify the amplifier is set to the correct input. 3) If using phono input, ensure the turntable's output is set to 'Phono' (not 'Line'). 4) If no phono input, connect a phono preamp between turntable and amplifier.

Also check if the stylus is dirty or worn.
How do I clean the turntable?
Clean the dust cover with a soft, damp cloth (no solvents). For the platter and base, use a microfiber cloth. Clean the stylus with a dedicated brush, moving from back to front.

Never touch the stylus tip. Avoid moisture near electrical components.
What is the correct tracking force?
The recommended tracking force is typically 2.0 to 2.5 grams. Use the counterweight at the back of the tonearm to adjust. Balance the tonearm first (zero grams), then set the desired force by rotating the numbered ring.

Consult the cartridge specifications for exact value.
How do I care for my vinyl records?
Store records vertically in a cool, dry place away from sunlight. Clean records with a carbon fiber brush before each play. For deeper cleaning, use a record cleaning solution and a microfiber cloth.

Always handle records by the edges to avoid fingerprints.
The turntable is humming. What should I do?
A hum may be caused by a ground loop. Ensure the ground wire (if present) is connected to the amplifier's ground terminal. Check RCA cables for proper shielding. Keep the turntable away from power sources like amplifiers or transformers.

If using a phono preamp, try moving it farther from the turntable.
Can I connect the turntable to Bluetooth speakers?
The Dual CS 731 Q does not have built-in Bluetooth. To use Bluetooth speakers, you need a Bluetooth transmitter connected to the turntable's audio output, along with a phono preamp if your speakers lack a phono input.

Alternatively, connect to a Bluetooth receiver via an amplifier.
Where can I find replacement parts?
Replacement styli and drive belts are available from authorized Dual dealers or online retailers. Always specify model CS 731 Q when ordering.

For other parts, contact Dual support or a qualified technician.

EDS 920 direct drive system

The newly developed direct drive system of the CS 731 Q turntable is a successful synthesis of our well-known motor principle and a highly sensitive electronic system which receives its accuracy from a quartz crystal. The drive motor is a DC motor with no commutator in which commutation is carried out by two Hall generators which detect the position of the rotor equipped with an 8-pole ring magnet and which also actuate the corresponding windings of the rigid flat coils. The synchronously rotating magnetic return circuit plate and the ring magnet enclose with a small air gap the non-ferrous coil arrangement so that, on the one hand, the drive system displays an extremely uniform running characteristic without pole sensitivity and which displays, on the other hand, a high torque in spite of the economical energy supply. After the nominal speed has been attained, the energy supply required for maintenance of rotation is less than 50 mW.

Description of function

At a motor speed of 33 1/3 rpm, the 200-pole frequency generator rigidly coupled to the motor delivers a frequency of 111 Hz which is amplified in the input amplifier and prepared in the cam form. This signal is applied as an actual value to the PLL circuit. An oscillation frequency of 4.608 MHz, which is controlled by a highly precise quartz crystal, is generated in the quartz oscillator. The actual reference frequency — that is to say, the set value — is derived from the oscillator frequency by a multi-stage divider. In the PLL circuit, the actual value and set value are compared with one another as regards amount and phase. In the case of the slightest deviation, a control pulse is applied to the digital/analog converter which obtains from this an analog control signal which is converted into a current alteration in the subsequently connected motor control circuit. In the drive motor, this current alteration causes spontaneous stabilization of the minimal speed deviation.

Fig. 3110-125V 220-240V STOP START LIFT 45 33 LM Y X X : MY T

The set value necessary for the 45 rpm speed is generated in the voltage divider by alteration of the divider ratio. For pitch control, a continuously variable control signal, with which the control loop is fed, is obtained by means of a complicated division process.

Thus the complete control range, like the nominal speeds, is coupled in a locked-phase relation to the quartz oscillator. The speed accuracy in the pitch range is practically the same as in the case of nominal speed. The speed deviation preselected with both pitch controls is maintained even if the pitch switch is operated or if the unit is switched off.

In the speed logic, the display unit of the CS 731 Q obtains from the actual speed the basic information as to whether the actual speed of the nominal speed is faster or slower. A further logic system activates the plus or minus sign of the display unit. Both signals are dark at rated speed.

From the digital information on the actual speed, a further digital/analog converter receives relative and analog information which is transformed in the cascade switch to an activation voltage for the 13 digital displays. In the display itself the information is still completely analog as the individual digits are activated with differentiated voltages and light up accordingly.

This display is as accurate as it is practical. The power section supplies the various partial circuits with carefully filtered and stable operating voltages.

General

The listed item numbers refer to the following spare parts lists and exploded views.

The cover can be easily withdrawn from the hinged splice pieces. To remove the turntable, remove both filister head screws (98) and the discs (86) with which the mounting plate (197) is screwed down. The turntable can be lifted out of the bracket (12) after disengaging the three transport locking screws.

Now detach the following plug connections:

1) Both single-pole plugs (122) on power switch (106). 2) The 4-pole plug (160) on the solenoid protective circuit (185). 3) The 5-pole female multi-point connector (158) at the display unit (35). 4) The 5-pole female multi-point connector (185) at the distributor board (24).

Fascia

To dismantle the fascia, remove both attachment screws (21) with which the display unit is mounted on the bracket base.

The top of the plate (17) is attached with 3 fillister head screws (98) and three washers (86) and the bottom is attached with three cheesehead screws (50).

Motor and drive

Special tools and measuring instruments are necessary for repair of the Dual EDS 920. Therefore, work on the motor or the motor electronic system should only be carried out by an authorized Dual service station.

Replacement of the motor electronic system, complete

The individual modules (151/152/153) are plugged into the main board. In addition, they are held by means of supports (154). Moreover, module 1 is also secured with the fixing screw (159). When replacing the complete motor electronic system, proceed as follows:

1) Remove the fillister head screws (97) and the four supports (154). 2) Remove fixing screw (159) (module 1). 3) Detach the plug connections of the connection cable — refer to wiring diagram Fig. 3. 4) Detach the motor electronic system completely from the mechanical system of the motor and replace it.

Replacement of the mechanical system of the motor

1) Release both threaded pins (19) and withdraw plate cone (22). 2) Remove the complete motor electronic system — see above. The plug connections of the connecting cable need not be removed. 3) Remove both fillister head screws (99) and the cog (105). 4) Withdraw the mechanical system of the motor and replace it.

Fig. 597 14 14 19 16 18 98

Pitch control

With the pitch control, each of the two rated speeds, 33 1/3 and 45 rpm, can be varied by ±5.5%. With the seesaw switch (16) at "ON" position, each nominal speed can be altered by means of a separate potentiometer (14). At the same time, the optoelectronic display scale (35) indicates the percentage deviation from the nominal speed.

Independently of the potentiometer setting (14), the speed corresponds with quartz precision to the respectively switched nominal speed, if the seesaw switch (16) is in "OFF" position.

Stroboscope

The stroboscope markings on the turntable edge are flashed from the diode plate (148) by means of quartz accurate frequency. The display is independent of power frequency and does not require additional stroboscope markings for different speeds and line frequencies.

When the stroboscope markings seem to be stationary both nominal speeds (33 1/3 and 45 rpm) are accurately adjusted. If the markings seem to run ahead the speed is higher, if the markings seem to run back the speed is lower than the nominal speed. By means of the speed of the apparently "wandering" markings the speed selected with potentiometer (14) can be determined at high speeds: 1 graduation/sec. = 0.9 % deviation. After releasing the fixing screw (159) and removing both fillister head cap screws (96) the stroboscope housing can be removed (149). After removing the retainer piece (147) the three LED's (148) can be replaced.

Tonearm and tonearm suspension

The light, torsion-resistant all-metal tonearm is twingimbal mounted. Suspension is by means of four hardened and precision polished steel points which rest in precision ball bearings. The tonearm bearing friction is thus reduced to a minimum.

Bearing friction vertical 0.07 mN (0.007 g)

Bearing friction horizontal 0.15 mN (0.015 g)

as related to stylus point.

This ensures extremely favorable pick-up conditions. Before setting the tracking force corresponding to the built-in pick-up cartridge the tonearm is balanced at 0 position of the tracking force scale. Coarse adjustment is carried out by moving the weight with stem (60) subsequent fine adjustment by turning the front knurled ring on the weight.

The balance weight is designed so that pick-up cartridges having a dead weight (including fitting material) of 2 - 9 g can be balanced. The tracking force is produced by tensioning the coil spring fitted in the spring housing (74). The rotary knob (69) is provided with a scale which permits accurate adjustment of the tracking force in the range from 0 - 20 mN (0 - 2 p) by means of the marking dots.

Fitting a 1/2" cartridge

The description of retrofitment for fitting a 1/2" cartridge (replacement of carrier plate etc.) should be taken from the operating instructions.

Fig 6 83 11 147 148 146 149 96

Removal of tonearm from bearing frame

1) Secure unit in repair jig. Remove weight (60). Unscrew tensioning screw (52). Set rotary knob (63) to 0. 2) Turn unit upside down. Remove hexagon nut (34) and screening plate (119). Unsolder tonearm leads on muting switch (120). 3) Unscrew tensioning screw (70). Remove rotary knob (69), disc (68) and indicator (67). 4) Loosen locking nut (61) and unscrew threaded pin (65). 5) Remove tonearm (30) with bearing (71).

Assembly takes place in reverse order.

Removal of tonearm assembly with tonearm bearing

Proceed as follows:

  1. Secure unit in repair jig. Set rotary knob (69) to 0. Lock tonearm (30). Remove weight (60).
  2. Turn unit upside down. Remove hexagon nut and screening plate (119). Unsolder tonearm leads on muting switch (120).
  3. Remove retainer disc (91). Remove main lever (167) and bearing block (166). Remove securing disc (89). Lift off adjusting bar (168) and rotary bearing (170) and swivel to motor.

Fig. 7 27 52 84 30 63 60 141 187 96 168 190 167 176 97

  1. Disengage tension spring (136). Release securing disc (90) and remove skating lever (134).
  2. Remove hexagon nuts (94). Remove countersunk screw (138). Remove counterbearing (135) and segment (124).
  3. Retain tonearm (30) and frame (63). Remove filister head cap screw (88). Remove tonearm complete with tonearm bearing.

When fitting the tonearm proceed in reverse order but ensure that the threaded pin (62) seats correctly on ball bearing.

Replacing spring housing

Remove tonearm (30) from bearing frame (66) as described above.

When installing notice that the helical spring engages in the cut-outs of the bearing (71). Mount tonearm (30) again. Set bearing play as described below using threaded pin (65) and lock nut (61).

Adjusting the tonearm bearing

First balance tonearm accurately. Both bearings must have slight, just perceptible play. The horizontal tonearm bearing is correctly adjusted when at anti-skating setting 0.5 and being touched it slides in without resistance. The vertical tonearm bearing is correctly adjusted when it swings in after being touched. The play of the horizontal tonearm bearing should be adjusted with threaded pin (62), the play of the vertical tonearm bearing with threaded pin (65).

Anti-skating device

Adjustment of anti-skating force is carried out by turning the knurled ring on the cover. According to adjustment, the asymmetrical cam disc guides the skating lever (134) from the tonearm pivot point. The anti-skating force is transmitted to the segment (124) by means of tension spring (136) and to the tonearm.

Optimum adjustment is carried out at the works for styli with a tip radius of 15 μm (conical), 5/6 x 18/22 μm (elliptical) and CD 4 cartridges.

Any alteration can only be carried out with the aid of a Dual skate-0-meter and a test record and should only be done by an authorized Dual service station.

Cue control

By moving lever (187) forward (▼) lift cam (188) rotates. The slide bar (168) connected to it transmits this movement to the lift pin which then raises the tonearm. As a result the cue control permits set down and lift off of the tonearm at any desired point outside the shut-off range.

The slide bar (168) is released again by moving the cue control lever (187) to the rear (▼). As a result of the action of compression spring the lift pin is returned to neutral position and thus lowers the tonearm. Lowering of the tonearm is damped by silicone oil in the lift tube.

The set down speed can be varied by adjusting the pretension of compression spring (lift plate 176). According to operation of the adjusting ring (82) in position “◀” the lowering speed is slower, in position “◀◀◀” it is faster.

Adjustment point

The lift height can be varied by turning adjusting screw (51). The distance between record and stylus should be approximately 5 mm.

Fig. 8 61 62 63 66 74 69 70 65 73 61 72 81 82 83 88 135 124 94 138

Replacement of cue control plate

Replace cue control plate as follows:

  1. Fix unit on repair jig and lock tonearm. Turn unit upside down.
  2. Remove securing disc (89). Detach main lever (167) and bearing block (166).
  3. Remove securing disc (89). Remove adjusting bar (168) and rotary bearing (170) and swivel to motor.
  4. Remove both filister head cap screws (97), remove cue control plate complete (176).

Fitment takes place in reverse order. It should, however, be noted that the pressure piece in the cue control plate (176) engages correctly in adjusting ring (82) (varying the lowering speed).

Fig. 9Technical diagram of a mechanical assembly with numbered parts, likely an engine or device component.

Tonearm control

Automatic movement of the tonearm is indicated by the control cams on the inside of the cam wheel (16) on rotating through 360°.

The control elements for raising and lowering are the control lever (167) and the lift pin, for horizontal movement of the tonearm control lever (167) with segment (124).

The automatic set down point is designed for 30 cm and 17 cm records and is coupled to the platter speed changeover. Set down points of the tonearm are determined by means of stop of spring bolt of segment (124) at the adjusting bar (168). Limitation of the horizontal movement of the tonearm is produced by stop of segment on adjusting bar (168) which is lifted off only during set down by the main lever (167) and reaches the swivel range of the spring bolt on the segment. On completion of set down (lowering of the tonearm onto the record) slide bar (168) is released again and returns to its neutral position. As a result, this is outside the range of the spring bolt so that unimpeded horizontal movement of the tonearm is possible for playing.

Continuous automatic play

The continuous automatic play is operated by turning knob (84) to "00". Switch bracket (179) is actuated by knob (84). Switch rod (180) keeps change lever (165) in start position.

After playing the record the tonearm returns automatically to the lead in groove of the record. This process will be repeated until knob (84) is in position "1".

Adjustment point

Withdraw power plug. Remove turntable (3). Bring knob (84) to position "oo". Turn cam wheel to center position. The change-over lever deflects the cam follower lever (U). By this means the cam follower lever tip must be brought at least to the cam track center. Adjustment by bending the switch rod (189).

Starting

Operation of push-button (59) "start" results in the following functions:

a) The right hand pull magnet (142) operates cam follower lever (165). At the same time the power switch (106) is operated by the contact arm (127) coupled to the switching arm (78) and the motor and turntable start to rotate. b) This operation also releases start slide (39) which is drawn in the direction of the cam wheel by means of the tension spring (38). By this means the shut-off lever (8) on the cam wheel (25) is brought into the range of the follower (M) (plate cone 22) and the cam wheel driven by this means.

Manual start

The detent (126) coupled to control arm (78) engages in the square plate (125) when the tonearm is moved inward by hand and retains the tonearm in this position. The power switch is operated by the control arm and thus the motor and platter start to rotate. After reaching the run-out groove of the played record, return of the tonearm and shut-off of the unit take place automatically. If, on the other hand, the tonearm is lifted off the record before playing is completed and moved onto the rest by hand, the pin of segment (124) disengages the detent (126) so that the control arm is returned to its starting position. As a result, the power switch shuts off the power supply.

Muting switch

To prevent disturbing noises during automatic operation of the tonearm, the unit is fitted with a muting switch. Control of the switch springs for both channels is effected by the cam wheel. With the unit in neutral state, the short-circuit of the pick-up leads is eliminated.

Adjustment point

In neutral position of the cam wheel, a contact distance of approximately 0.5 mm should be present between contact springs (F) and short-circuit strips (L). If necessary, bend short-circuit strips.

Spray contact springs with suitable means.

Fig. 12L 121 0,5 mm 120 F

Stopping

When push-button (59) "stop" is operated, the changeover lever (165) is brought into stop position by means of the left hand pull magnets (142). As a result, the start slide is released which is drawn in the direction of the cam wheel by means of tension spring (38). By this means, the shut-off lever is brought into the range of the follower on the platter pinion (PR) and the cam wheel (25) is thus driven.

Shut-off operation

The functions of end switch-off and stop switching are determined by the position of the deflection lever (U). The deflection lever (U) is brought to stop position by the main lever (167) after every start operation (longer end of deflection lever to cam wheel center).

After playing of a record, shut-off is initiated by the follower (M) of the platter (3) and the shut-off lever (A).

The shut-off bar (128) is only moved synchronously by the bolts of the segment (126) in the shut-off range.

In the shut-off range (records 116 to 122 mm diameter), the shut-off lever (A) is guided onto the follower (Fig. 13a) by the shut-off bar (128). The follower (M) engages shut-off lever (A). By this means, cam wheel (25) is brought out of zero position in engagement with pinion of platter (Fig. 13b). The main lever (167) guides the tonearm back and effects tonearm lowering onto the support.

During run-in of the cam wheel into zero position, the roller (76) of the switching arm (78) runs into the cut-out provided on the cam wheel and operates the power switch (106).

Adjustment points

Power fuse

After removing both fastening screws and detaching the power section cover, the fuse (102) on the power plate (101) can be replaced.

Tonearm set down point

The set down point of the tonearm can be altered with the eccentric bolt (172). If the stylus sets down too far in or out on the record, turn the eccentric bolt (172) correspondingly right or left.

Shut-off point

The shut-off point (shut-off range records 116 - 122 mm diameter) can be altered with the eccentric (E) on the segment (124).

Tonearm lift-off height

The tonearm lift-off height (during automatic operation) can be altered with adjusting sleeve (177). Withdraw power plug, unlock tonearm. Rotate cam wheel (25) out of zero position until tonearm has reached its highest point.

The tonearm should be approximately 5 mm above the tonearm support stop (Fig. 16). If necessary, turn adjusting sleeve (177) to left or right.

Defect

Tonearm does not set down or sets down too quickly after operating cue control lever (187).Damping excessive or too low by contamination of the silicone oil.
Vertical tonearm movement is inhibiteda) Lift pin (205) jammed in guide tube
Platter does not rotate after connection of unit and moving in of tonearmDefective power fuse (102)
Tonearm does not set down on the edge of the recordTonearm set down point incorrectly adjusted
Motor does not switch off when tonearm sets down on rest.Suppression capacitor (110) in power switch is defective (short-circuit).

Cause

Pull magnet "start/stop"

The stroke of the pull magnets can be altered with eccentric (E1). The stroke should be set so that during "start" operation a play of minimum 0.1 mm is present between the lap of the deflection lever (165) and the start slide (39). See Fig. 11.

Pull magnet "lift"

The stroke of the pull magnets can be altered with eccentric (E2). During operation of the pull magnet up to stop the lever (187) should still just evidence perceptible play (min. 0.1 mm).

Safety regulations

Service operations on electronic units may only be carried out by specialized personnel. The unit should then be driven by an isolating transformer.

The safety regulations in accordance with VDE 0860 H should always be observed during repair.

In addition, construction features of the unit should not be altered in any way which reduces their safety e.g. covers, mechanically secured leads, creepage and error distances and components must correspond to the original spare parts list and be correctly fitted again (production condition).

After repair it must be ensured that all conductive components which can be touched from the outside do not carry mains voltage.

Remedy

Dismantle cue control plate (176). Detach control stud (175). Remove securing disc (178). Unscrew setting sleeve (177). Remove second securing disc. Remove lift pin. Clean lift tube and lift pin. Grease lift pin uniformly with "Wacker silicone oil AK 300 000". Assemble components again.

See above, if necessary renew cue control plate (176).

Renew power fuse (102).

The tonearm set down point can be adjusted with eccentric pins (172).

Renew suppression capacitor in power switch.

Lubricating instructions

All bearing and friction points of the unit are adequately lubricated at the factory. Replenishment of oil and grease is only necessary after approx. 2 years of normal use as the most important bearing points have sintered metal bushes. The motor bearings have long-life sintered metal bushings and thus should not be lubricated. Bearing points and friction faces should be lubricated sparingly rather than generously. When using different lubricants, chemical decomposition can often take place. To prevent lubrication failure, we recommend using the original lubricants shown below.
