USER MANUAL SL1210GR TECHNICS

Introduction Thank you for purchasing this product. Please read these instructions carefully before using this product, and save this manual for future use.

About descriptions in these operating instructions - Pages to be referred to are indicated as “(

00)”. - The illustrations shown may differ from your unit. If you have any questions, visit: U.S.A.: http://shop.panasonic.com/support Canada: www.panasonic.ca/english/support Register online at http://shop.panasonic.com/support (U.S. customers only) Features The coreless direct drive eliminates cogging and achieves smooth rotation

The newly developed coreless direct drive motor can reduce minute vibration during rotation while maintaining high torque.

The high-precision motor control technology switches the drive mode depending on the operational status of the motor and thus enables high torque and stability. The tone arm with high-precision bearings achieves high initial- motion sensitivity

The tone arm pipe is light, highly rigid aluminum.

The use of traditional Technics gimbal suspension construction and high-precision bearings attains high initial-motion sensitivity. A turntable with high rigidity and improved vibration damping capacity

Reinforcing ribs on the back side of the aluminum die-cast platter and rubber coating for removing unnecessary resonance can deliver high rigidity and improved vibration damping capacity. Vibration-proof cabinet and insulators

The two-layered cabinet made of a combination of BMC and aluminum die-cast ensures high rigidity.

Special silicon rubber insulators providing excellent vibration damping capacity and long-term reliability can shut out external vibration and suppress howling noise. High-quality terminals

Gold-plated PHONO output terminals prevent degradation in sound quality.

The case has metal shielded interior to protect from external noise. Highly accurate turntable speed maintained with the pitch control

The digital control method is adopted to achieve constant pitch control.

The pitch variable range select button (×2) is provided. The pitch control with the range up to ±16 % is possible.Before use Getting started Playing back Maintenance English (05)

Installation Fit the dust cover 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.

Clockwise: Reduces the height.

Anti-clockwise: Increases the height. Attention

Do not turn the insulators too far. Doing so may cause them to come off or damage them.

Notes for installation

Before you move the unit, remove all devices connected and turn off the power supply.

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.

Avoid an unstable place.

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 that the material of the installation location is sufficiently strong to withstand the weight of this unit.

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“.

Conditions causing 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.

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).

Hold the dust cover with both hands and insert it into the dust cover fitting parts (

To remove the dust cover, keep it open and lift it straight above. Attention

Return the tone arm to the arm rest and fix it with the arm clamp before you attach or detach the dust cover.

When inserting the dust cover, prevent the tip of the hinges from hitting and damaging the main unit. Reduces the height Increases the heightEnglish (18) Anti-skating controlArm clampArm restCue lever

Put a record on the turntable.

Release the arm lock. Index line Arm-height control ring Cartridge height (H) in millimeters Height control position

Arm lock (Released) (Locked)

Use the chart below as reference to find the appropriate position mark for the height of your cartridge.

Turn the arm-height control ring to align the position mark with the index line. 0 to 6 mm are marked on the arm height control ring.

Adjust the height with the arm- height control ring. Adjust the arm height until the tone arm becomes parallel to the record. (For supplied head shell)

When you don't know the cartridge height (H) or when you don’t use the supplied head shell Remove the stylus cover, taking care not to damage the stylus, then release the arm clamp. Lower the cue lever, rest the stylus on the record and adjust the height control until the tone arm and record are parallel.

If the cartridge height (H) is too small to make them parallel to each other, add a “cartridge spacer” (not supplied).

After arm height adjustment is finished, lock the tone arm by turning the arm lock knob.

Be sure to turn the arm lock knob to the end as shown in the figure below. You may need to apply some force to do so. Parallel to a record Attention

Be careful not to damage the stylus tip.

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.

Care of the parts Thoroughly clean dust off the stylus and record.

Take off the head shell with the cartridge and clean the stylus using a soft brush. Brush from the base to the tip.

Use a record cleaner to keep your records clean. Head shell terminals Wipe the head shell terminals occasionally. Wipe the head shell terminals with a soft cloth and fit the head shell to the tone arm. Turn the amplifier volume down or turn the amplifier off before fitting or removing the head shell. Damage to your speakers can occur if the head shell is moved while the volume is turned up.

Cleaning the dust cover and cabinet Wipe the dust cover and cabinet with a soft cloth. Do not touch the board while cleaning. Otherwise, the player may fail. When dirt is heavy, wring a wet cloth tightly to wipe the dirt, and then wipe it with a soft cloth.

Do not use solvents including benzene, thinner, alcohol, kitchen detergent, a chemical wiper, etc. This might cause the exterior case to be deformed or the coating to come off.

Do not wipe the dust cover while playing a record. This can cause static electricity. This static can cause the tone arm to be attracted towards the dust cover.
