Features and operation Connection:

1. Connect the external power adapter to the appropriate outlet.

2. Connect the device to a suitable socket.

3. Turn on the turntable using the ON/OFF button.

4. In󰘵all the du󰘵 cover on the hinges at the top of the unit.

In󰄋all the platter on the central axis:

1. Attach the platter to the platform.

2. Place the side of the platter marked "top" near the opening at the top.

3. Place the vinyl mat on the turntable platter.

• Insert the headshell into the end of the tone arm, then tighten the lock nut, 󰘰rmly holding the headshell horizontally.- EN 19 -

1. Add weight to the tone arm. You’ll 󰘰nd the weight in the paper packaging that holds the

record player in place inside the box.

2. Turn the weight to the graduation mark.

3. Turn the dial to zero.

4. Turn the weight and dial anti-clockwise to position 1.

5. The weight is correctly adju󰘵ed.

6. If you are having trouble with playing, adju󰘵 the anti-skating control accordingly.

• Slide the counterweight into the tone arm. Turn it slightly and screw it (anti-clockwise) to the rear end of the tone arm. Each full turn of the graduated ring corresponds to approximately 5.0 grams (+/-0.5 grams).

• For the Audio-Technica AT-91 cartridge, turn the counterweight anti-clockwise until the graduated ring reaches the graduation at the back end of the tone arm. Counterweight Graduated ring Arm graduation

• Hold the counterweight with one hand, and with the other, turn the graduated ring to 0 on the scale of the arm, making sure not to rotate the counterweight.

• The Audio-Technica AT-91 cartridge supplied requires approximately 2.5 grams of tracking force. To achieve this tracking force, turn the counterweight anti-clockwise, to position 1 on the graduated ring. If you experience any skipping issues turn towards 1.5–2.

• There is a weight tolerance of approximately +/-0.5g. If necessary, turn the counterweight anti-clockwise to increase the tracking force, or clockwise to reduce it.

• If you’re in󰘵alling another cartridge, you can adju󰘵 the tracking force by turning the counterweight one way or the other, as required. Adju󰄋ing the balance:

• Set the anti-skating knob to 0.

• Hold the cartridge support with one hand and balance the arm by turning the counterweight- EN 20 - one way or the other. Balance is achieved when the tone arm is parallel to the record on the platter, and the arm is not tilting toward the counterweight or toward the headshell. Well balanced arm: Counterweight Headshell The end carrying the counterweight is too heavy, so turn the counterweight anti-clockwise to balance it: The end carrying the cartridge head is too heavy, so turn the counterweight clockwise to balance it:- EN 21 - Anti-skating adju󰄋ment: To adju󰘵 the anti-skating mechanism, you can turn the anti-skating knob anti-clockwise to reach 0 grams of tracking force. You can turn the anti-skating knob clockwise to achieve up to 4 grams of tracking force. You can adju󰘵 the anti-skating knob if the cartridge slips. Phono/line choice:

• The phono/line selector is located on the rear of the device.

• If you select "phono", the audio signal will bypass the internal preampli󰘰er, and the turntable needs to be connected to an external preampli󰘰er to play your music.

• If you select “line”, the audio signal will be processed by the internal preampli󰘰er. The turntable can be connected directly to active speakers to play music. Playing a record:

• Remove the protector from the 󰘵ylus.

• Make sure the arm is fully detached from the arm re󰘵 before playing and placed back securely afterwards.

• Push the lift lever up to raise the arm, and carefully move it towards the record: the platter will begin to turn.

• Push the lift lever down to lower the arm and gently re󰘵 it on the record. The record 󰘵arts playing.

• Push the lift lever up to raise the arm: the turntable continues to turn but the sound 󰘵ops. To continue playing, lower the lift lever.

• Changing speed - 33/45 rpm: depending on the record, choose 45 or 33 rpm playing.

• An Auto-return on/o󰘯 button is located on the back of the device to activate/deactivate the automatic return function of the arm. If the auto-return function is enabled, the arm will automatically return back into place when the record is 󰘰nished playing. NB: If one of your vinyl records does not play to the end due to the auto-return function, you can turn it o󰘯 using the button on the back of the T700. Please note that the turntable will continue to turn even if the record is 󰘰nished, so you need to manually lift and replace the tone arm.- EN 22 - Line output:

• This sy󰘵em can be connected to an external device (for example, an active external ampli󰘰er and speaker) via the RCA line output on the rear of the device.
