HOW TO PLAY A VINYL RECORD
Before playing a Vinyl on your Unit, you must ensure that the Tonearm and Stylus are properly balanced by the
Counterweight, ready for play.
How to install the COUNTERWEIGHT
1. Gently slide the Counterweight onto the rear of the Tonearm until it cannot go any further. (See Fig.1)
2. Now, gently turn the Counterweight clockwise and backwards until it is in line with the T at the end of the
white line on the Tonearm. (See Fig.2)
3. Keeping the Counterweight in this position, line the ‘1’ up with the T on the white line. (See Fig.3)
4. The Tonearm should now be in the correct position for playing your records, but can be adjusted at any
time (See Fig.4) to achieve the correct balance.
Please note: The working pressure of the Stylus provided with your Unit is between 4-6 grams. However, all styluses
have their own working pressure, so please refer to the manufacturer’s
specification for other styluses. When properly balanced, the Tonearm
should be parallel with the Turntable and sit comfortably in the grooves in
the Record, without jumping during play. It may take a few attempts to get
this correct.
The life expectancy of the Stylus tip is about 400 hours. To preserve
maximum sound quality and avoid damage to your records, we recommend
replacing the stylus within this time limit. Always lock the Tonearm on its
rest when not in use.
How to use the RECORD PLAYER
Before playing a Record, please remove the Stylus protector from the Stylus. Ensure that the Tonearm is released
from the Tonearm Rest (35). Note: Always re-secure the Tonearm back in the Tonearm Lock once play is finished.
1. Press the Standby/On button (5) and the LCD display (4) will light up.
2. Press the Function button (6) until the LCD display (4) reads ‘PHONO’. The Turntable will spin a few times
and then stop. This is perfectly normal.
3. Set the Turntable Speed Selector (33) to the required position, depending on the Record to be played
(33rpm, 45rpm or 78rpm).
4. Place your Record on the Turntable (use the Spindle Adaptor (37) if required).
5. Set the Cueing lever (34) to the UP position.
6. Lift the Tonearm from the Tonearm rest and slowly move it to the side of the Record. The Turntable will start
to rotate.
7. Position the Tonearm over the desired position/track on the Record.
8. Lower the Cueing lever.
9. The Tonearm will slowly lower onto the Record and play will begin.
10. When the Record has finished playing, the Tonearm will lift off the Record, and return to the Tonearm rest
automatically. (If the Tonearm does not lift off the Record, and return to the Tonearm rest automatically, see
‘How to align the Tonearm STOP position’ below).
