Frequently Asked Questions - Platinum SO2000 SONORO

How to connect the turntable to an amplifier?
Use the supplied RCA cable. If your amplifier has a phono input, set the preamp switch to OFF and connect the ground wire if necessary. Otherwise, set to ON and connect to an AUX input.
How to adjust the tracking force of the tonearm?
After balancing the tonearm (arm floating parallel to the platter), turn the counterweight ring to align the 0 on the scale, then turn the entire weight to reach the recommended force of 1.8 g (for the included cartridge).
How to pair a Bluetooth headset?
Press the BT button briefly to turn on Bluetooth (slow flashing). Press again for 2 seconds to enter pairing mode (fast flashing). Activate pairing mode on your headset. The connection is automatic.
What to do if the platter does not rotate?

4. Connecting PLATINUM

! Note:

  • The mounted Ortofon 2M RED cartridge is a MM cartridge, so please set your audio system to MM (not MC).
  • Make sure the audio system / amplifier you connected to PLATINUM is switched off and its volume set low.
  • Before turning on your audio system and PLATINUM, make sure all connections are made properly, and you choose the right pre-amplifier setting.
  • Failures in doing so may lead into loud hum noise which may damage your audio system or speakers.

  • Connecting to an audio system / amplifier

  • Connect your audio system and PLATINUM by using the delivered RCA cable.

  • If your audio system has a built-in phono amplifier, there most probably will be a grounding terminal. Please screw the grounding cables on both sides: Your audio system and PLATINUM. As well plug the RCA plugs into the phono input of your audio system and the output of PLATINUM.

SONORO Platinum SO2000 - ! Note: - 1

Note:

  • The ground terminal of PLATINUM is not a safety ground connection.
    Depending on the amplifier, connecting the ground terminal might have the reverse effect of increasing noise. In this case, it is not necessary to connect the ground terminal.
  • It is not recommended to connect PLATINUM's phono ground to MAESTRO's phono ground plate.

If your audio system has no phono input, use a free Aux-in RCA input.

SONORO Platinum SO2000 - Note: - 1

  • The white plug is for the left channel, the red plug for the right channel.

SONORO Platinum SO2000 - Note: - 2

2. Setting pre-amplifier selector switch

Switch the pre-amplifier switch on the back side of PLATINUM according to the features of your audio system / amplifier PLATINUM is connected to:

  • Set the switch to OFF position. If your audio system / amplifier has a PHONO input jack, PLATINUM can be connected directly to it, bypassing it's built-in pre-amplifier by switching it OFF.

SONORO Platinum SO2000 - Setting pre-amplifier selector switch - 1

  • Set the switch to ON position. If your audio system / amplifier has no phono input, you can use the build-in pre-amplifier of PLATINUM by switching it ON.

  • Even new records may produce a crackling noise when you play them. Please note that this noise is a characteristic of playing records.
  • Place only one record on the platter at a time.
  • Close the turntable cover during record playback to avoid dust.
