Features
Coreless direct drive motor for smooth and accurate rotation
- The new coreless direct drive motor can reduce minute vibration during rotation by ensuring strong torque to drive the grand class turntable.
- The high-precision motor control technology changes the drive mode according to the motor operation status to achieve high rotation accuracy.
Three-layer turntable for stable rotation
The three-layer turntable structure is consisting of brass, aluminum die cast and deadening rubber that is against unwanted resonance and attached to the bottom surface.
- Dense tungsten weights are located on the outer periphery of the brass part to deliver large inertial mass.
High-sensitivity tone arm for accurate reading of record grooves
A lightweight, high damping magnesium tone arm pipe has been adopted.
The tone arm base is tightly integrated with the turntable to minimize vibration of the turntable base.
04 05:
English
Thorough anti-vibration design with the five-layer cabinet and insulator
The high-rigidity five-layer cabinet is composed of different types materials such as aluminum, aluminum cie-cast and BMC.
- Silicon rubber with high damping characteristics and excellent long-term reliability is used in the insulator to shut out external vibration.
Seeking for ideal sound with excellent system scalability
- When combined with a separately sold tone arm base ( 32) , in addition to the standard tone arm, maximum three short or long tone arms in total (regardless of the manufacturer), including the standard tone arm.
Special control unit that can eliminate unwanted noise interference with the main unit
- The power circuit and control circuit are separated to minimize unwanted external noise interference with the main unit and stored in a single control unit.
- The new switching power supply with a noise reduction circuit has been developed to reduce noise in voltage supply.

2 Slowly lower the turntable while aligning the rotor shaft fix holes (three locations) with the rotor shaft.
- Mount by using the rotor shaft with the arrow mark as a guide. (+14)
Attention
- If the rotor shafts are misaligned, a gap remains between the turntable and main unit and you cannot mount the turntable correctly. Do not force the turntable downward.

3 Attach the washers, belleville springs, and screws for turntable to the rotor shaft fix holes, and tighten the mounting screws securely.

Attention
- When tightening screws, do not allow screw heads to protrude from the top surface of the turntable.
- Tighten the three screws uniformly. Failing to do so may make the turntable rattle or rotate unstably. Make sure none of the screws are loose.
To remove the turntable
Looscn the mounting screws for turntable and remove them. -Keep the screws, belleville springs, and washers carefully.
Tighten the detachable handle screws into the detachable handle mounting holes (two locations) on the turntable and slowly lift the turntable straight up.
Fitting the turntable mat
4 Lay the turntable mat on the turntable.
Attaching the head shell
5 Fit the head shell (not included) with the cartridge (not included) into the tone arm. Keep the head shell horizontal and tighten the locking nut.
Preparing the head shell / cartridge (not included) ( 33)
- Be careful not to touch the stylus tip.

Attaching the balance weight

Attach the balance weight to the rear of the tone arm.


- Attach the included auxiliary weight to the rear of the tone arm according to the weight of your cartridge. For adjustable cartridge weight ranges, see "Applicable cartridge weight range". (≥31)
Note
Using auxiliary weights in tandem may cause the auxiliary weight to come into contact with the dust cover.
The inside of the balance weight is greased.

Connections and installation
- Turn off all units and disconnect the AC mains lead from the socket before making any connections.
- Connect the AC mains lead only after all other connections are completed.
- Be sure to connect the PHONO earth lead. Otherwise mains hum may occur
Refer also to the instruction manual of the connected device.
Connecting the output terminal and AC IN terminal / Connecting the control unit
1 Connect a commercially available phone cable to the output terminal.
2 Connect the control unit connection cable by inserting it until it clicks into place.
3 Connect the AC mains lead.
Note
The operation switch does not separate entire unit from mains even if in "OFF" position. Remove the plug from the mains socket if you will not be using the unit for an extended period of time. Place the unit so that the plug can be easily removed.

Connections and installation (continued)
Installation
Install the unit on a horizontal surface protected from vibrations. Keep this unit as far as possible from speakers.
Adjusting the height to make the unit horizontal

Raise the main unit to turn the insulators and adjust the height.
Attention
Always use two people or more to perform the task.
Do not turn the insulators too far. Doing so may cause them to come off or damage them.
Notes for installation
Always use two people or more to install or move the unit.
Before you move the unit, remove all devices connected and turn off the power supply. Moving the unit with the control unit connected may make it fall off and cause injury.
- Ensure the unit is not exposed to direct sunlight, dust, humidity, and heat from a heating appliance.
- This unit may pick up interference from a radio if there is one nearby.
Keep the unit as far as possible from a radio.
- Do not install the unit on a heat source.
- Avoid a place with large temperature variations.
- Avoid a place with frequent condensation.
- If anti-tip measures are required, consult a contractor. The floor and wall strength need to be checked.
- Avoid an unstable place.
- If the unit ratties when installed, adjust by inserting insulators. (->Left)
- Do not draw the unit forcibly after installation. Doing so may damage the insulator or floor surface.
Do not put an object on the unit. Do not install the unit in a confined space such as a book shelf.
- Install the unit at a position well away from walls or other devices to ensure effective heat radiation from the inside of the unit.
- Make sure the installation location is sufficiently strong to withstand the total weight of the unit and system.
Note that the unit may be damaged by cigarette smoke or moisture from an ultrasonic humidifier.
Condensation
Think of taking out a cold bottle from a refrigerator. If you leave it in a room for a while, dewdrops will form on the bottle surface. This phenomenon is called "condensation."
Rapid temperature change (caused by moving from a warm place to a cold place or vice versa, rapid cooling or heating, or direct exposure to cooled air)
High humidity in a room with much steam, etc.
Rainy season
- Condensation may damage the unit. If it has occurred, turn the unit off and leave it until it adapts to the ambient temperature (approximately 2 to 3 hours).
Insulator attachment
1 Rotate the insulator to remove it from the unit.
Perform the task by placing the packing cushion or the like under the unit.

Fix the insulator attachment by screwing it into the insulator.
This makes the insulator lose its cushioning function.

3 Rotate the insulator to attach it to the unit.

Attention
- Be careful not to lose balance.
Howling may occur as a result of attaching insulator attachments.
Fit the dust cover
1 While holding the dust cover from both sides, put it in place by aligning its four corners with the four corners of the unit.
- When removing, lift the dust cover straight up.

Attention
Do not use the dust cover if you have a second tone arm connected.
- Remove the dust cover while playing.

Attention
- Be careful not to damage the stylus lip.
Do not use the product with the arm lock released.
For finer adjustment, use a level (not included) to adjust the arm-height so that the cartridge becomes parallel to a record.
Make an adjustment according to your cartridge if necessary.
Preparation
Put a record on the turntable.
- Remove the stylus cover, taking care not to damage the stylus, then release the arm clamp.
- Lift the cue lever and move the tone arm over the record.
1 Check the armlift height (distance between the stylus tip and record surface). If adjustment is needed, go to step 2.
2 Return the tone arm to the arm rest, clamp it with the arm clamp and while pressing the armlift down with your finger, turn the screw to adjust the height.
