Frequently Asked Questions - TT350 THOMSON

How to install the platter belt if it has become loose?

Remove the rubber mat and the E-ring from the spindle. Place the belt on the inner edge of the platter, feed it through the hole, then place it on the motor pulley. Reinstall the E-ring and the mat.

How to select the playback speed (33 or 45 rpm)?

Use the speed selector (8) located under the platter to choose between 33 and 45 rpm according to your record. Also use the disc size selector (8) for 7-inch records.

What to do if the tonearm does not position correctly on a 7-inch record?

Turn the vinyl disc selector to 45. Use a slotted screwdriver to adjust the start position: turn clockwise if the arm goes too far inward, counterclockwise if it goes too far outward.

What is the difference between the PHONO and LINE settings?

In PHONO position, the audio signal is not processed by the internal preamp; you must connect the turntable to an external preamplifier. In LINE position, the signal is processed and can be connected directly to active speakers.

How to connect the turntable to speakers or an amplifier?

Use the supplied male-to-male RCA cable to connect the RCA line output (15) to the input of your amplifier or active speakers. If necessary, use the RCA female to 3.5 mm jack adapter.

Can I move the tonearm manually during playback?

It is not recommended to move the arm by hand at startup. Use the automatic play button. Once playback has started, you can lift and move the arm manually, but always use the stop control to stop playback.

How to clean the turntable?

Unplug the device before cleaning. Use a soft, dry cloth. Do not use abrasive or harsh cleaners. Do not lubricate any parts.

What safety precautions should I observe?

Never open the casing (risk of electric shock). Avoid exposure to water or moisture. Use only the supplied power adapter. Unplug during thunderstorms or extended non-use. Place the device at least 20 cm away from your body.

The turntable does not turn on, what should I check?

Make sure the power adapter is properly connected to the socket (16) and to the mains. Check that the On/Off switch (17) on the back is set to ON. If the problem persists, contact technical support.

How to use the 45 rpm adapter?

For 45 rpm records (7 inches), place the 45 rpm adapter (6) on the center spindle of the platter before placing the record. It is stored on the top left of the platter.

Warning

1. Make sure that the drive belt isn't misshapen or twisted.
2. Avoid getting oil on the belt. Oil splashed could make the belt slip.

Connection:

1. Place the dust cover (12) on top of the device by gently inserting the hinges into the dedicated spaces.
2. Insert the power cable into the appliance's socket, then connect the other end to the mains socket.
3. Turn on the record player using the On/Off button (17) on the unit.

Phono/line selector:

• The phono/line selector (14) is located on the rear panel.
• By selection "PHONO", the audio signal bypasses the internal pre-amplifier, without processing. The record player must therefore be connected to an external pre-amplifier in order to play the music.
• By selecting "LINE", the audio signal is processed by the internal pre-amplifier. The record player can be directly connected to active speakers to play the music.

Phono | Line out

Use:

• Place a disc onto the record player turntable (7) and select the desired speed (33/45) depending on the disc, and also check that the 33 and 45 tr/min (8) vinyl disc selector is positioned according to the size of your vinyl disc.
• Remove the needle protector.
• Open the base of the tone arm to release the arm. Press the Play button (9) on the front panel. The record player moves directly into the desired position over the disc and starts playing the music, starting with the first track. If you want to play other tracks from the disc,
  press on the tone arm lever (11) ▼. The tone arm will raise and stop playing the music. Manually position the tone arm in the desired position over your disc and press the tone arm lever(11) ▼ again. The tone arm will slowly move down and start to play the music again.

- The tone arm returns to its base (1) automatically when the disc has finished.

- For optimal product performance and maintenance, unplug the record player when it is not in us.

Please note:

When you're playing a 45-turn disc, use the 45-turn adapter (6) included, located in the upper-left section of the turntable.

Line output:

• This system can be connected to an external device (e.g. amplifier or active speakers) via the RCA line output (15) which is located at the rear of the product.
• Use the double male RCA to double male RCA cable to connect to an external device.
