Note: To minimise the risk of hum picked up by the cartridge, the Neo
should be situated as far from the turntable as the interconnect cable
will allow.
CONNECTING TO THE AMPLIFIER
The tonearm external phono leads must be connected to a suitable
phono stage.
Connect as follows:
Red = right chanel
Black = le channel
Depending on the type of cartridge you have chosen, you will require
the appropriate moving magnet (MM) or moving coil (MC) stage. If your

SPEED ADJUSTMENT (FACTORY SET - ONLY ADJUST IF NECESSARY)
The speed control functions are sited on the back panel of the Neo:
Speed program switch: This enables the set speed mode.

Rega, along with a London mastering studio, have used the iPhone ‘RPM’

REGA STROBE AND STROBOSCOPIC DISC (SOLD SEPARATELY)
The best way to adjust the speed of your Planar 6 is to use the Rega
Stobe kit. A stroboscopic disc is an optical instrument used to measure

Warning: Because of the nature of the stroboscopic effect of the disc

we must make the user aware of this condition. Ask your dealer for
assistance if required.

datto possono invalidare la garanzia. Imballaggi sostitutivi sono disponibili presso qualsiasi
rivenditore Rega. Sono fatti salvi i diritti di legge del consumatore.

Reinig het apparaat met een microvezeldoekje (licht vochtig, indien nodig). Verwijder nooit
de behuizing of andere beschermende onderdelen; er bevinden zich aan de binnenzijde
geen onderdelen waar door de gebruiker onderhoud aan kan worden gepleegd. Als het
apparaat onbetrouwbaar functioneert of er rook of nare geurtjes vrijkomen tijdens het
gebruiken ervan, koppel het dan onmiddellijk los van de voeding en breng het apparaat naar
een erkende dealer.
GARANTIE
Alle producten van Rega worden geleverd met een levenslange garantie tegen fabricage-
fouten. Normale slijtage valt niet onder deze garantie. De garantie kan vervallen indien er
niet-goedgekeurde wijzigingen worden aangebracht aan het apparaat of zich proble-
men voordoen als gevolg van het niet opvolgen van de richtlijnen van Rega. Indien u het
apparatuur terugstuurt naar de verkopende partij, dient u de oorspronkelijke verpakking
te gebruiken om de garantie te behouden. Schade die tijdens transport wordt veroorzaakt
door onjuiste verpakking, kan uw garantie ongeldig maken. Een vervangende verpakking is
