Basic operation Turning the power on 1 Minimize the volume of the amplier. If using a device that cannot have its volume adjusted when it is off, minimize the volume after turning it on. 2 Set the STANDBY/ON switch on the unit to ON. o If the indicator above the MEASURE button is lit, press the MEASURE button to turn it off. 3 Play a record and adjust the volume on the amplier. 4 Use the EQ CURVE selection knob to select the curve that sounds natural depending on the record being played. Putting the unit into standby 1 If a record is being played, stop playback. 2 Minimize the volume of the amplier. 3 Set the STANDBY/ON switch on the unit to STANDBY. 4 Turn the amplier o. Setting the load impedance When using an MC cartridge If the MC cartridge used has a recommended load resistance (load impedance), set it to a value near that value. If not specified, select the value that provides the best sound quality. The lower the load resistance is, the lower the volume will be. Higher load resistances will increase the volume. A standard load resistance is 100Ω. o This load resistance does not refer to the internal resistance of the cartridge (internal impedance, coil impedance). o Select a load resistance that is high enough for the internal resis- tance of the cartridge being used. o Selecting a load resistance that is not large enough relative to internal cartridge resistance will reduce sound volume and increase noise. When using an MM cartridge If the MM cartridge used has a recommended load capacity, try set- ting the knob to a position near that value. If not specified, select the value that provides the best sound quality. MC cartridge impedance measurement Use a 1kHz sine wave to measure the impedance of the entire path including the MC cartridge and the cable that connects the analog turntable and this device. Set the unit to receive a load impedance that is about twice the impedance determined from the measurement. 1 Move the analog turntable tone arm away from the record. 2 Press the MEASURE button and the indicator will light. o The meter will automatically switch to bright level. 3 Read the impedance from the lower indica- tions on the meter. ATTENTION o MM cartridge impedance and load capacity cannot be measured. o Do not measure impedance during record playback. o Playback sound is not output during impedance measurement.12 Using the easy demagnetization function Using the easy demagnetization function to demagnetize MC car-tridges with iron cores and step-up transformers, for example, could improve the sound quality by making it clearer and giving it greater definition. 1 Set the impedance selection knob to DEMAG. The load impedance is set to 0Ω and both ends of the cartridge are short-circuited. 2 Play a record. The playback signal current goes through the cartridge and demagnetizes it. o Demagnetization takes about 30 seconds. Keep the record playing for about 30 seconds. o Playback sound is not output when the impedance selec- tion knob is set to DEMAG. 3 Reset the impedance selection knob to its pre- vious position. Equalizer curve characteristics (time constant) RIAA 3180μs/318μs/75μsDecca (DECCA LP)1590μs/318μs/60μs Columbia (Columbia LP)1590μs/318μs/100μs o There are a variety of opinions about equalizer curves. o Try a different curve if the sound seems unnatural when using the RIAA curve to play an old record, even a stereo LP. Automatic power saving function This unit has an automatic power saving function. o This is set to on when shipped new from the factory. When the automatic power saving function is on The unit will enter standby* if no operation occurs for about 30minutes.Operating the unit when in standby will disable the automatic power saving function and turn it on. When the automatic power saving function is off The unit will not enter standby automatically.*Power consumption is 0.5W or less when in standby. Checking the setting If automatic power saving is off, all the impedance indicators will light momentarily when the unit is turned on. Setting the automatic power saving function Use the following procedure to turn the automatic power saving function on and off.While pressing the MEASURE button, set the STANDBY/ON switch to ON. Continue pressing the MEASURE button until all the indicators light (about three seconds). Restoring default settings While pressing the METER button, set the STANDBY/ON switch to ON. Continue pressing the METER button until all the indicators light (about three seconds). Basic operationEN

If you experience a problem with this unit, please take a moment to review the following information before requesting service. If it still does not operate correctly, contact the retailer where you purchased the unit. The unit does not turn on. e Check that the power cord is completely plugged into the power outlet. If the outlet is switched, confirm that the switch is in the ON position. e Connect a different electrical device to the outlet to confirm that it is supplying power. e If the unit is in standby because of the automatic power sav- ing function, set the STANDBY/ON switch to STANDBY once and then set it to ON again. There is a humming noise. e If a connecting cable is near a power cord, fluorescent light or similar cause of interference, increase the distance between them as much as possible. e Check the cable connecting the analog turntable to the grounding terminal (FRAME GND) on this unit. e Whether or not there is a grounded connection with the ana- log turntable can affect how noise is heard. No sound is output. e If a stereo amplifier is connected to this unit, adjust the volume on the amplifier. e If the indicator above the MEASURE button is lit, press the MEASURE button to turn it off. e Check the load impedance setting (page11). e Reconfirm the connections between equipment. Troubleshooting Sound is odd or breaks up. e Check the connectors connected to the amplifier. Connect this unit to the LINE IN or other audio input connec- tors on the amplifier. e Check the load impedance setting (page11). e Set the GAIN switch to LOW. e When connected to an analog turntable that has a built-in phono equalizer amplifier, turn off the output of the phono equalizer amplifier. Volume is low. e Check the load impedance setting (page11). e Set the GAIN switch to HIGH. The white noise level is too high. e Check the audio cables connected to the analog turntable. e When using an MC cartridge, the load impedance setting can affect the noise sound. Since this unit uses a microcontroller, external noise and other inter- ference can cause the unit to malfunction. If this occurs, unplug the power cord, wait for a while, and then turn the unit on again and restart operations.14 Specifications Inputs RCA connectors .................................1 pair (for MC/MM) XLR connectors .......................................1 pair (for MC) Input impedance MC ...................10Ω, 22Ω, 47Ω, 100Ω, 220Ω, 470Ω, 1kΩ (switchable using setting knob) MM ....................................................... 47kΩ Load capacity .....................0pF, 100pF, 220pF, 330pF (switchable using setting knob) Outputs RCA connectors .............................................. 1 pair XLR connectors ............................................... 1 pair Output impedance RCA connectors ............................................ 63Ω XLR connectors. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 126Ω Audio performance Rated output voltage RCA output .............................................. 2 Vrms XLR output ............................................... 4 Vrms RIAA deviation (20Hz – 20kHz) ............................ ±0.05dB Total harmonic distortion Rated output, 1kHz, GAIN LOW RCA input (MM) ....................................... 0.002% RCA input (MC) ........................................ 0.02% XLR input (MC) ......................................... 0.02% Residual noise voltage (input shorted, GAIN LOW, IHF-A) RCA input (MM) ........................................... 10µV RCA input (MC) ............................................ 65µV XLR input (MC) ............................................ 85µV S/N ratio (input shorted, rated output, GAIN LOW, IHF-A) RCA input (MM) .......................................... 106 dB XLR input (MC) ............................................ 86 dB Channel separation (MM, 10 kHz, GAIN LOW) ........ −90dB or higher Gain GAIN LOW RCA input (MM) ........................................ 34 dB RCA input (MC) ........................................ 54 dB XLR input (MC) ......................................... 54 dB GAIN HIGH RCA input (MM) ........................................ 46 dB RCA input (MC) ........................................ 66 dB XLR input (MC) ......................................... 66 dB Subsonic filter ................................ 17Hz, −24dB/octave Maximum permissible input voltage (distortion 0.1%, GAIN LOW) RCA input (MM) ......................................... 150 mV RCA input (MC) ........................................... 16 mV XLR input (MC) ........................................... 16 mV General Power supply Model for Europe ........................
