Frequently Asked Questions - PL711 Soundmaster
How to adjust the tracking force of the tonearm?
To adjust the tracking force, first balance the tonearm by turning the counterweight until it is in neutral equilibrium. Then turn the tracking force adjustment dial to align 0 with the center line. Finally, turn the counterweight counterclockwise to reach the recommended force (3.5 g for the factory cartridge). Each graduation corresponds to 0.05 g; make 1.75 turns for 3.5 g.
How to connect the turntable to external speakers?
Use the preamp selector on the back. If your amplifier has a phono input, set the selector to PHONO and connect the audio cables (red for right, white for left) as well as the ground wire. If using a line input, set the selector to LINE and plug the cables into the LINE jacks of your amplifier or active speakers.
How to use Bluetooth mode?
Press the Mode button until the blue LED lights up (Bluetooth mode). Enable Bluetooth on your device (smartphone, tablet) and search for the name PL711. Select it to pair. A tone confirms the connection. You can then stream music wirelessly.
How to record a record to a computer using Audacity?
Connect the turntable to the computer via a USB cable. Install the free software Audacity. Open Audacity, click Record to start recording. Start playing the record. When finished, click Stop, then File to export the file in MP3 or other format.
How to replace the stylus?
Unplug the AC adapter. Firmly hold the headshell and the cartridge body. Pull the stylus tip forward and downward to remove it. Attach the new stylus by pushing until you hear a click. Ensure there is no play between the headshell and cartridge. Replace the stylus after 400 hours of use.
What to do if the platter does not turn?
Check that the drive belt is correctly installed around the sub-platter and motor pulley. Ensure the speed selector is set to 33 or 45 rpm and the Play/Stop button is pressed. If the problem persists, check the power supply and that the device is not in standby mode (press Mode for 3 seconds to reactivate).
How to clean the turntable?
Use a dry, soft cloth to clean the exterior. Never use detergents or abrasive products. For the stylus, use a special brush moving from back to front. The felt mat should be removed and cleaned regularly to avoid scratches on vinyl records.
Why is the sound weak?
Check that the stylus is not damaged or incorrectly installed. Make sure the volume is high enough. If using external speakers, check the connections and the preamp selector (PHONO or LINE). A worn stylus can also reduce volume; replace it after 400 hours.
How to install the drive belt?
Place the sub-platter on the center spindle. Loop the belt around the sub-platter and the motor pulley (brass). Then put the main platter on the sub-platter and turn it manually about ten turns in the direction of the arrow to tension the belt.
How to adjust antiskating?
The antiskating force should match the tracking force. For the factory cartridge (3.5 g), place the loop of the antiskating weight thread onto the 3rd groove of the rod (from the ring). Pass the thread through the hook loop. Refer to the table in the manual: tracking force 3-4 g -> 3rd groove.
