Frequently Asked Questions - PL780 Soundmaster
How to adjust the tonearm tracking force?
After balancing the arm (arm parallel to the record), turn the counterweight to align the desired tracking force with the index line. The graduated ring indicates the force in 0.5 g increments; a full turn corresponds to 3.5 g.
How to install the platter and belt?
Place the platter with the cutout onto the drive pulley. Pull the belt using the assembly band and attach it to the drive pulley. Release the band and remove it. Keep the band for future use.
How to use the Bluetooth function?
Set the rear selector to 'BT TR'. Enable pairing mode on your Bluetooth receiver. The blue LED flashes then stays on when successful. To deactivate, switch to 'LINE' or 'PHONO'.
How to adjust the speed?
Use the 'PITCH CONTROL' knob to adjust speed up to +/-50%. Check the speed with the stroboscope: the dots should appear stationary for the correct speed (33 or 45 rpm).
How to connect the turntable to an amplifier?
Use the analog audio output jacks (L+R). If your amplifier has a PHONO input, set the switch to 'PHONO'. Otherwise, use 'LINE' for an amplified signal with built-in equalizer.
How to clean the stylus?
Use a dedicated cleaning device or similar. Do not rub vigorously with a hard object and never use solvent or chemicals.
What to do in case of hum?
Ensure the ground cable (terminal 15) is properly connected to the amplifier. Also check that the power cable is not pinched and the device is away from interference sources (computers, microwaves).
Can I use a non-supplied AC adapter?
No, never use an adapter other than the one supplied. Ensure the voltage matches that indicated on the adapter. Use only the supplied AC adapter.
How to record a record on a computer?
Connect the turntable to the computer via a USB cable (not supplied). The computer detects 'USB audio CODEC'. Install recording software like Audacity, click 'Record' to start encoding, then 'Stop' and save the file (MP3 or other).
How to replace the cartridge?
The cartridge is mounted on the tonearm. Unplug the device. Unscrew the fixing screws and replace the cartridge respecting the wiring: left output (white), left ground (blue), right output (red), right ground (green). Then adjust the balance and tracking force.
