Fit the dust cover

1 Hold the dust cover with both hands and insert it into the dust cover fitting parts ( 9) on the player.

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

Diagram showing a hand operating a device with an inset close-up of a mechanical component (no text or symbols)

Attention

• Return the tone arm to the arm rest and fix it with the arm clamp before you attach or detach the dust cover.
• Remove the dust cover while playing.
• When inserting the dust cover, prevent the tip of the hinges from hitting and damaging the main unit.

■ Notes for installation

• Before you move the unit, turn the unit off, pull out the power plug and disconnect all connected devices.
• 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 the installation location is sufficiently strong to withstand the total weight of the unit and system.(⇒ 23)
• 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.
  ◇ 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).

Adjustment

Horizontal balance Stylus pressure

Preparation

• First, remove the dust cover.
• Remove the stylus cover ( 18), taking care not to damage the stylus, then release the arm clamp.
• Lower the cue lever.
• Turn the anti-skating control to "0".

1 Free the tone arm from the arm rest and adjust horizontal balance by turning the balance weight.

Note

- For stylus pressures 3 g and above, adjust anti-skating control to "3".

Adjustment (continued)

Tone arm height

Make this adjustment only if the cartridge you are using makes it necessary.

Preparation

- Put a record on the turntable.

1 Release the arm lock.

2 Adjust the height with the arm-height adjuster.

Adjust the arm height until the tone arm becomes parallel to the record.

① Use the chart below as reference to find the appropriate position mark for the height of your cartridge.

(When you use the accessory head shell)

	Cartridge height (H) in millimeters	Height control position
	14	0
	15	1
	16	2
	17	3
	18	4
	19	5
	20	6

● Height of the accessory cartridge H = 17.2 (mm) (Height control position : 3.2)

② Hold the arm-height adjuster and slide it up or down to align the position mark with the index line. 0 to 6 mm are marked on the arm height adjuster.

HEIGHT Adjustment Arm-height adjuster HEIGHT ADJ/mm 2 4 6 Index line

- When checking the index line of the Arm-height adjuster, check with your eyes on the same level.

- When you don't know the cartridge height (H) or when you don't use the accessory 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).

Parallel to a record

3 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.

LOCK ANTISKATING 3

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.

Armlift height

Make an adjustment according to your cartridge if necessary.

Preparation

• Put a record on the turntable.
• Remove the stylus cover ( 18), 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.

● The armlift height is factory-adjusted to 8 to 13 mm.

8~13 mm

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.

• Turning the screw clockwise lowers the armlift.
• Turning the screw anti-clockwise raises the armlift.

Play starts.

■ To temporarily stop play

Lift the cue lever.

● The stylus lifts off the record.
- To start play again, lower the cue lever.

■ When play finishes

① After lifting the cue lever to return the tone arm to the arm rest, lower it completely.
② Press [START-STOP]. The electronic brake gently stops the turntable.

③ Press [1] to turn the unit off.
④ Clamp the tone arm with the arm clamp.
⑤ Put the stylus cover back on (to protect the stylus tip).

■ Auto lift-up function

This function automatically lifts up the tone arm after a record finishes playing. It prevents the last groove from playing back repeatedly. (It does not stop the turntable rotation.) This function requires the following setting to become active.

Setting: With the unit turned off, set the auto lift-up switch on the rear side to "ON". (The factory setting is "ON".)

- After an auto lift-up, be sure to perform the steps ① to ⑤ described above in "When play finishes".

Attention

• Depending on the record, it may take some time (approximately 60 seconds) after the play finishes for the auto lift-up to operate, or it may operate while the record is still playing. If the tone arm is lifted during play, set the auto lift-up switch to "OFF".
• The auto lift-up function may not operate normally. For the auto lift-up function to operate normally, the cue lever must be completely lowered after the tone arm is returned to the arm rest following the end of play.

■ When playing EP records

• Press the speed select button [45] ([45] lights).
  ● Fit the EP record adaptor over the centre spindle.

■ When playing SP (78 rpm) records

- Press the speed select buttons [33] and [45] at the same time (78 rpm: [33] and [45] light).

■ When using a record stabilizer (not included)

- See the instruction manual of the record stabilizer.

• Maximum weight: 1 kg

Maintenance

■ 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 when it is in place. Doing so may cause the tone arm to be attracted towards the dust cover as a result of the generated static electricity. Be sure the dust cover is removed while playing a record.

■ Moving the unit

Repackage the unit in the packaging it came in.

Keep the packaging materials after taking out the goods.

If you no longer have the packaging, do the following:

● Take off the turntable and turntable mat and carefully wrap them.
- Remove the head shell and balance weight from the tone arm and carefully wrap them.
- Clamp the tone arm with the arm clamp and tape it in place.
- Carefully wrap the main unit in a blanket or paper.

Repackaging Before repackaging, remove the balance weight and insert the tone arm support under the tone arm.
