WHEN ANOTHER CARTRIDGE IS USED
There are many different kinds of cartridge available today.
You can attach any cartridge weighing between 49 and 99
to this tonearm provided that only the accessory headshell
is used with it. Follow the instructions with each cartridge
regarding connection and use. When another cartridge is to
be used in the headshell supplied with this turntable, install
the cartridqe very caref ully, as follows:
1. Remove the headshell from the tonearm, and remove the
screws that hold the accessory PC-145 cartridge in
place. O
Washers
Ca rtridge
2. Remove the four lead wires from the cartridge itself. To
protect the lead wires at this point, remove the terminal
tips with pliers or the tip of the screwdriver.
3. The terminals on the accessory headshell are aligned
according to the arrangement below. Check the location
and polarity of each of the cartridge's terminal pins and
then connect the lead wires, taking care not to get the
polarities mixed up.
Red: Right channel
White: Lef t channel
Green: Right channel ground
Blue: Left channel ground
4. Attach the cartridge lightly to the headshell, using the
screws, nuts, washers, etc.
5. Adjust the position of the cartridge so that the stylus
and the connector section of the headshell are 49mm
apart and tighten up the screws. Make sure that the
cartridge does not tilt to one side when you attach it.

5. Support the headshell's finger lift with one hand and
attain the horizontal balance by turning the counter-
weight either clockwise or counterclockwise. "Hori-
zontal balance" means that the tonearm is parallel to the
record on the platter, and that the tonearm pipe,
therefore, should not tilt toward the counterweight side
or the headshell side (See f igure).

CONNECTIONS TO STEREO
BEFORE CONNECTING, CHECK THE
FOLLOWING:
o Switch the power to the amplif ier off to prevent damage
to the speaker system.
o The cartridge furnished with your turntable is an lM
type. Be sure to use a stereo amplifier which has PHONO
input jacks for this type of cartridge.
NOTE:
lf you are using a tow-output moving coit (MC) cartridge, you will
need a special MC transformer or a head amplifier, or a stereo
amplifier with a built-in MC amptif ier.
CONNECTION PROCEDURE
1. lnsert the phono cables (white and red) into the pHONO
input jacks of the stereo amplifier (white for left channel
into L jack, and red for right channel into R jack).
Connect the ground lead with the Y-shaped connector at
the end to the ground terminal.
lnsert the power plug into the convenience AC outlet of
the amplifier or a wall outlet.
NOTE:
When playing records at low temperatures or when playing records
where the stylus is made to iump or the reproduced sound is
distorted (records where part of the rccording tevet is set at an
extremely high level), adjust the tracking force to the optimum
value (this cartridge has 2.3fl across the suitable range.
ANTI -SKATI NG ADJUSTM ENT
To adjust the anti-skating mechanism, turn the ANTI-
SKATE knob so that the number corresponding to the
required tracking force comes to the index line.

OPERATION PRECAUTIONS
o Always clean the stylus both before and after playing a
record with a soft brush and make it a rule to clean the
records with a good quality cleaner.
o When changing over the headshell, clamp the tonearm to
the arm rest so that the tonearm shaft is not strained in
any way.
o Be careful not to make the turntable vibrate while a
record is playing since this can result in damage to the
stylus and record.
o Place only one record at a time on the platter. lf two or
more records are stacked on the platter, the stylus will
not make proper contact with the grooves, and this will
impair the quality of reproduction.
o Do not disconnect the power cord while the stylus is still
in a record groove as this may damage the stylus and re_
cord.
o Never obstruct the platter with the hand while it is
rotating. This may cause damage.
When changing over the speed (from 33-l/3 to 45 rpm
or from 45 rpm to 33-1/3 rpml, the stripes on the stro-
boscope may appear to flow slightly to the left or right.
This does not, however, indicate that there is a malfunc-
tion. In cases like this, refer to the section entitled ,,AD-
JUSTING THE SPEED OF THE PLATTER" and adjust
so that the stripes appear to stand still.
ADJUSTING THE SPEED OF THE PLATTER
1. Observe the stroboscope through the speed checking window.
Four different pitches of markings are used in the strobo-
scope. The pitch varies with the power line frequency and
the rotating speed of the platter.

2. Make sure one of the four types of stroboscope markings is
set according to the line frequency and the platter speed, and
turn the SPEED ADJUSTMENT knob to adjust.
. When the markings appear to stand still: The platter is
turning at the rated speed (33-1/3 or 45rpm), and no ad-
justment is required.

speed of the platter is lower than the rated speed. Turn
the knob clockwise until markings appear to stand still.
o When the markings appear to move to the left. The speed
of the platter is higher than the rated speed. Turn the
knob counterclockwise until the markings appear to stand
still.

ADJUSTING THE STYLUS MAINTENANCE
DESCENT POSITION
lf the stylus does not descend onto the lead-in groove on
the record during automatic play, adjust as follows:
1. Place a 30cm (12-inch) LP record on the platter.
2. Go through the operation for automatic play once (refer
to page 8), and check the level and direction of the
stylus'deviation from the norm.
3. Return the tonearm to the arm rest with one hand, and
then adjust the stylus descent-position by turning the
adjusting screw in the adjusting hole using the screw-
d river.
o When the stylus descends outside the lead-in groove,
turn the adjusting screw clockwise.
o When the stylus descends inside the lead-in groove,
turn the adjusting screw counterclockwise.
o Each half-turn of the adjusting screw moves the
starting point about 18 mm.

CABINET AND DUST COVER
When the cabinet or dust cover becomes dusty or dirty,
wipe it clean with a soft dry cloth. Remember that the
surfaces can be corroded by furniture wax, thinner, and
benzine and also by insecticide sprays. The dust cover can
be detached and cleaned.
LUBRICATION
The motor shaft and bearings of this turntable employ
oil-less bearings and so there is no need for lubrication'
There is no need to lubricate the tonearm bearings, either'
STYLUS
lf the stylus tip is clogged with dust, the reproduced sound
quality will be impaired. Use a soft brush to keep the stylus
clean at all times. Be careful not to touch the tip since this
may damage it. When using stylus cleaner (organic solvent),
benzine or thinner to clean the stylus tip, take care not to
allow any of the liquid to come into contact with the stylus
holder. This may change the material.
PC.145 STYLUS REPLACEMENT
The life expectancy of the PC-145 stylus tip is 800 -
1,000 hours. For the sake of maximum sound quality
reproduction, Pioneer recommends replacement within
the minimum time limit. The stylus tip is replaced by grasp-
ing the stylus holder and pulling it away from the body of
the cartridge. The new stylus tip is then inserted by pushing
it into the receptacle. The correct replacement tip is the
PN-145. This may be obtained at your Pioneer dealer.
Pioneer cannot guarantee performance or reliability if
another type of stylus is employed.
