USER MANUAL DT 210 USB DUAL

Important notes for users in the U.K. Mains plug This apparatus is fitted with an approved 13 Amp plug. To change a fuse in this type of plug proceed as follows:

1. Remove fuse cover and fuse.

2. Fix new fuse which should be a BS1362 3 Amp,

A.S.T.A. or BSI approved type.

3. Refit the fuse cover.

If the fitted plug is not suitable for your socket outlets, it should be cut off and an appropriate plug fitted in its place. If the mains plug contains a fuse, this should have a value of 3 Amp. If a plug without a fuse is used, the fuse at the distribution board should not be greater than 5 Amp. Note: The severed plug must be disposed of to avoid a possible shock hazard should it be inserted into a 13 Amp socket elsewhere. How to connect a plug The wires in the mains lead are coloured with the following code: blue = neutral (N), brown = live (L). As these colours may not correspond with the colour markings identifying the terminals in your plug, proceed as follows: Connect the blue wire to the terminal marked N or coloured black. Connect the brown wire to the terminal marked L or coloured red. Do not connect either wire to the earth terminal in the plug, marked E (or e) or coloured green (or green and yellow). Before replacing the plug cover, make certain that the cord grip is clamped over the sheath of the lead - not simply over the two wires.

How to clean the record player Electric shock To avoid the danger of an electric shock, you must not clean the unit with a wet cloth or under running water. CAUTION! Do not use any scrubbing sponges, cleaning powder or solvents such as alcohol and petrol. Clean the housing with a soft cloth moistened with water. Cleaning the stylus and the record Always clean the stylus and record before playback to prevent premature wear. Use a cleaning brush to wipe from back to front over the stylus. To clean a record, use a record cloth to wipe lightly and diagonally over the record. Replacing the stylus The stylus is naturally exposed to wear by the playback process. Therefore we recommend regular inspection, which for diamond styluses should take place after at least 500 playing hours. Note: Worn or damaged (splintered) styluses ruin records. When you need to replace a stylus, use the original type if possible. Remove the stylus by pulling diagonally downwards. Insert the stylus by doing the reverse of this.Troubleshooting
