7. Playing a record

Note:

• Before you play a record, turn down the audio device's volume. The loud, crackling noise made by the tone arm descending and the stylus coming into contact with the record could damage the speakers or audio device.
• Wait until the stylus has completely descended, and then adjust the volume.
• Even new records may produce a crackling noise when you play them. Please note that this noise is a characteristic of playing records.
• Place only one record on the platter at a time.
• Close the turntable cover during record playback to avoid dust.
• Do not stop turntable rotation during playback.
• During record playback, feedback could occur if the volume is too loud. In this case, reduce the volume of the amplifier and ensure that there is acoustic decoupling.

▶Switch on the turntable.
▶Press the ON/OFF button on the back of the turntable to turn it on.

- Open the dust cover gently. - If the turntable is in sleep mode, set the speed selector switch to STOP and then back to the desired speed.

11.4 Transport or shipping turntable S

PRECAUTION!

• In case the turntable needs to be returned for repair or transport to other places, the original packing provides a better protection for the product during transportation and handling.
  ▶ If you lose the original packing, please use a sufficiently stable and protective packing that prevents damage from the PLATINUM Automatic EAS.

▶Take off the dust cover and carefully wrap it.
▶Take off the platter and mat and carefully wrap them.

▶ Attach the stylus cover and remove the headshell and counterweight from the tonearm and carefully wrap them.
▶Lock the tonearm rest clamp and tape it in place.
▶ Carefully wrap the turntable in a bubble wrap or similar soft and protecting material.

11.5 Cleaning the tip of the stylus

Note:

• Record styluses are precision parts, so handle them carefully to avoid bending or damaging their tips. If a stylus becomes bent or damaged, it might not be able to follow the audio groove precisely and could damage records or cause another malfunction.
• Do not rub the stylus tip with thinner or other chemicals.
• Use a small brush (not included) if the stylus tip is considerably dirty. Clean the stylus tip by moving the brush from the rear to the front of the stylus tip.

11.6 Replacing the stylus

If the tracking diamond is worn, it not only degrades sound quality but can also damage records. After approximately 1000 hours of playback, replace the tracking diamond with one specified by us.

▶Please use Ortofon 2M RED / 2M Blue replacement stylus.

▶ Follow the replacement instructions in the manual of the replacement stylus.

To remove old stylus

▶Keep attaching the stylus protective cover on the cartridge.

▶Release the headshell from the tonearm.

▶Hold the cartridge in one hand, grasp the plastic stylus housing with thumb and forefinger, and pull away from the cartridge.

Installing a new replacement stylus:

▶To install replacement stylus, insert the new stylus assembly into the cartridge.

- The stylus assembly should be fully seated into the cartridge.

▶Mount the headshell onto the tonearm.

11.7 Replacing the cartridge

Note:

• The cartridge installed in this unit is equivalent to Ortofon 2M Red.
• If you use another cartridge than Ortofon 2M Red, you might need to adjust overhang and weight, as well the height of your tonearm. If in doubt, please ask your dealer.

▶Keep attaching the stylus protective cover on the cartridge.
▶First remove the headshell from the tonearm.

▶ Use a non-metallic slotted screwdriver to remove the installation screws, washers and, and then remove the cartridge from the headshell..
▶ Use a non-metallic slotted screwdriver to tighten the screws in both places, and then adjust the overhang.
- Refer to the user manual for new cartridge for mounting instruction and connecting to the shell leads.

11.9 Replacing the drive belt

The drive belt will wear or may even break over time. In such case, replace it with a new one. To obtain a spare drive belt, contact your dealer or the customer support.

▶Turn off your turntable and the connected audio device and unplug the AC adapter from the AC inlet.

▶Remove the mat of the platter.

▶Turn the platter to the position where you can see the motor pulley through the circle hole on the platter.

▶Unhook the drive belt from the motor pulley.

▶Put your finger and thumb into the platter's round holes to hold the platter and remove the platter.

▶Turn the platter upside down and remove the drive belt.

▶Wind a new drive belt around the platter while keeping it untwisted.

▶Follow the steps in "Attaching the drive belt" to finish the assembly.

12. Troubleshooting

Malfunctions can occur with any electrical equipment. This is not necessarily due to a defect. As such, you should check the following table to see if you can eliminate the problem yourself.

EN

Malfunction Possible cause Solution

The platter does not spin.	The AC adapter is not properly connected.	Plug the AC adapter into the AC inlet socket.
	The turntable is not switched on.The record player is in sleep mode.	Check the rear side of the turntable, it should be in pressed down position.Set the speed selector switch to STOP and then back to the desired speed.
The platter spins, but there is no sound or the volume is not loud enough.	Cartridge's protective cover is still attached.	Remove the cartridge's protective cover.
	Tonearm is in lift position. Lower the tonearm.
	Wrong setting or input for the connected equipment (amplifier, etc.)	Check if the setting for the connected equipment is correct
	The stylus is damaged. Check the stylus and re-place it, if necessary.
	Stylus or cartridge are not adjusted correctly.	Check the cartridge and adjust it, if necessary.
	Wrong setting for the PRE AMP selector switch.	Select the correct setting for the pre-amplifier.If using an amplifier with a PHONO input jack, set this switch to the OFF position.If connecting to the AUX jack of an amplifier, set this switch to the ON position.
The audio playback jumps(stylus slides outwards).	The anti-skating value is set incorrectly.	Slightly lower the anti-skating value.
The audio playback jumps(stylus slides inwards).	The anti-skating value is set incorrectly.	Slightly increase the anti-skating value.
The stylus skips. The record is warped. Change the record.

Operating manual Platinum Automatic EAS

A record does not play to its end.

With some LPs, the automatic lifting function may activate too early. This is usually caused by variations in the record's grooves, which the record player's mechanism can interpret as the end of the record.

This is a well-known phenomenon that can occur with records with unusual groove patterns or where the music ends close to the edge of the record.
