©PLACEMENT
1. Use the unit in a stable and horizontal position, where there is
little or no vibration.
2. Use the unit as far away from the speakers as possible and
isolate the unit from sound radiation from them. This unit is
equipped \%ith acoustic insulators but if the speakers are
placed too near the unit, vibrations may be transmitted directly
to the tonearm, resulting in "HOWLING" or "FEEDBACK".
If for any reason, the speakers are placed near the unit, we
recommend that you place felt under the speakers or the unit
to reduce the sound vibrations.
3. Do not place the unit where it is exposed to direct sun. dust
or moisture.
Also keep it away from heating equipment in order to protect
the dust cover and turntable base.
CONNECTIONS

Connect the AC power plug to the AC wall socket or AC outlet
of your amplifier.

Since the speed selector and tonearm switch control the motor
and not the main AC power, plug the AC power plug into the
"switched" AC outlet on your receiver of amplifier.
Make surethatthe AC line voltage is correctto your local voltage
before connecting the AC power plug.
(120V AC 50 or 60 Hz)
Never connect to a DC power socket.

HOW TO PLAY
QSetthe speed selector to the desired record speed. (See Fig. 11.)
©Remove the stylus cover. (Refer Fig. 3. )
©Raise the cueing lever to the ▼ position (Fig. 12) and place the
tonearm over the lead-in groove or over any other groove, and
then lower the cueing lever to the.T position.
©The tonearm will descend slowly onto the record and begin
playing.
When playing has finished, the tonearm returns to its rest auto¬
matically.
NOTE:
If you play a 45 r.p.m. record with a large center hole, use the 45
r.p.m. adaptor.
ADJUSTMENTS
©ARM LIFT HEIGHT (CUEING LEVER)
The arm lift height (distance between stylus tip and record sur¬
face when cueing lever is raised) has been adjusted for proper
height.
Because the physical size of different cartridges on the market
varies widely, the clearance between stylus tip and record sur¬
face may become too narrow or too wide, making re-adjustment
necessary. To adjust for a different cartridge, push down manual¬
ly on the arm lift bar to expose the adjustment screw, and turn the
screw clockwise (to lower the arm) or counterclockwise (to raise
the arm) until the arm lift height measures about 10 mm (25/64").
(See Figs.13 and 14.)

©TONEARM RETURN POINT
In some cases, the tonearm will tend to return to its rest posi¬
tion before playing has finished. In other cases, it may fail to
return to the rest position even after playing the last groove of
the record.
Rotate this screw to correct for either condition. (See Fig. 15.)
If the tonearm returns to its rest too soon.—Turn this screw co¬
unterclockwise.
If the tonearm does not return to its rest even after playing the
last groove.—Turn this screw clockwise.
