Handling batteries
WARNING
Danger from improper use!
In order to handle batteries safely, please observe the following safety instructions:
► Do not throw the batteries into a fire and do not subject them to high
temperatures.
► Do not open, deform or short-circuit batteries, since this can lead to chemical

contact with the skin, rinse with copious amounts of water. If the chemicals
come into contact with your eyes, rinse thoroughly with water, do not rub
and consult a doctor immediately.
► Keep batteries out of the reach of children. Children can put batteries into
their mouth and swallow them. If a battery has been swallowed, seek medical
assistance IMMEDIATELY.
► Do not mix different types of batteries.
► Always insert the batteries the right way round (observe correct polarity)
otherwise there is a danger that they could explode.
► Remove the batteries from the remote control if you do not intend to use

Before initial start-up
Setting the tracking pressure
The supplied counterweight must be fitted to the pickup arm . This is used
to set the correct weight so that the stylus moves over the records without
jumping or pressing too firmly into the groove.
CAUTION
Possible stylus damage.
► Hold the pickup arm firmly so that the stylus is not touching the turntable .
♦ Remove the protective cap from the stylus.
♦ Release the arm rest clip from the pickup arm.
♦ Set the anti-skating control to "0".
♦ Slide the counterweight (with the scale at the front) onto the pickup arm
from the rear all the way to the front (see Fig. A).
♦ Rotate the counterweight clockwise on the pickup arm until you reach the
white stop mark (T) on the pickup arm (see Fig. B).
♦ Set the scale ring to "1" without changing the weight. To do this, hold the
silver part of the counterweight firmly and rotate the front black scale ring
only (see Fig C).
♦ Now set the tracking pressure by rotating the counterweight anticlockwise.
We recommend a value between 4–6 (see Fig. D).
Fig. A Fig. B Fig. C Fig. D
NOTE
► If in doubt, start by selecting a lower weight for the stylus. If the stylus still
jumps, increase the weight in small increments. Too much weight will make
the needle cut into the groove, causing excessive wear.

SUP 128 A1

Setting the anti-skating force
Due to the friction between the rotating disc and the stylus , the pickup arm
is pulled inwards and the stylus presses more heavily on the inner flank of the
groove on the record. This is compensated for by the anti-skating setting.
The anti-skating force should be set to the same value as the tracking pressure,
e.g. a value between 4–6.
♦ Set the anti-skating control to the same value as the pickup arm counter-
weight .
Electrical connection
■ Before connecting the device, compare the connection data (voltage and
frequency) on the rating plate with that of your mains power supply.
This data must correspond in order to avoid damaging the product.
■ Make sure that the power cable is not damaged and is not routed over
hot surfaces and/or sharp edges.
■ Ensure that the power cable is not taut or kinked.
■ The mains power socket must be easily accessible so that the power cable
can be quickly disconnected in an emergency.
Inserting/changing the remote control battery
♦ Open the battery compartment on the rear of the remote control .
♦ Insert 2 new type AAA batteries into the battery compartment.
♦ Close and secure the battery compartment.
Connection to an external amplifier
NOTE
► The record player is equipped with a LINE OUT output . The record
player must be connected to a sound output device with speakers and
volume control, e.g. an amplifier.
♦ Connect a stereo cinch cable to the LINE OUT connectors on the record
player and connect these to the AUX IN connectors of your external amplifier.
Follow the operating instructions for the external amplifier when doing this.
CAUTION
Potential damage to external amplifier!
► Do not connect the LINE OUT output of the record player to the PHONO
input of your amplifier. Due to the internal amplification of this special input,
it can be destroyed by connecting the record player

♦ Move the pickup arm lever to the rear position to raise the pickup arm.
♦ Swing the pickup arm to the desired position on the record. The turntable
starts to rotate.
♦ Move the pickup arm lever to the forward position to lower the pickup
arm and to place the stylus onto the record.
♦ Control the volume on the connected amplifier.
♦ If you want to pause the playback, use the lever to raise the pickup arm.
♦ Press the EJECT button to stop playback and return the pickup arm
automatically to the arm rest.
NOTE
► At the end of the record, the pickup arm automatically returns to its starting
position and the turntable switches off.
Fine adjustment of the rotation speed
The stroboscope beams a blue flashing light onto the edge of the turntable.
While the turntable is turning, this light will be reflected and you can see a
dashed line on the edge of the turntable. Use the PITCH ADJ. controller to
fine-tune the rotation speed:
- The upper dashed line on the edge of the turntable is used for setting the rota-
tion speed to 33⅓ rpm.
- The middle dashed line on the edge of the turntable is used for setting the rotation
speed to 45 rpm.
- The rotational speed is correctly set when the dashed line can be seen firmly in
one position.
♦ If the dashes move towards the left the rotational speed is too high.
Slide the PITCH ADJ. control to the rear in the direction "−".
♦ If the lines move towards the right, push the PITCH ADJ. control forwards in
the direction "+".

Adjusting the movement radius of the pickup arm
On some records, the pickup arm may return before playback has completely
ended. Sometimes the pickup arm may not return all the way to the arm rest .
The movement radius of the pick-up arm can be adjusted with a setting screw.
It is located beneath the rubber cover next to the pickup arm axis.
♦ Remove the rubber cover.
♦ To increase the pickup arm movement inwards, turn the screw with a small
Phillips-head screwdriver a little to the right.
♦ To increase the pickup arm movement outwards, turn the screw a little to the left.
NOTE
► The record player is set to the most common record settings by default.
Do not turn the setting screw unnecessarily or too often.
USB and card operation
There are connections for a USB stick or another USB device (MP3 player), and
an SD/MMC card on the front of the device.
CAUTION
The USB connection is only designed for USB memory sticks. Other external
storage media such as external hard drives cannot be operated via the USB port.
► To avoid damaging the device, do not use a USB extension cable and do
not connect the record player directly to the USB port of a computer.
► Storage media can only be inserted in one direction. Do not use force to
connect them as this may damage the storage medium and the device.
