Taking Delivery / Transit Mode
Once the Console - 20 has been positioned in its designated space the
following instructions will allow you to prepare it for use.
NOTE : To remove the Console - 20 from transit mode you will need to gain
access to the rear panel. It is important to be able to gain full access to the rear
panel yet still position the Console - 20 once out of transit mode. It is advisable
to find a position where it is able to be repositioned to its final place easily and
safely whilst still having access to the rear panel.
Transit Mode
Upon delivery the player mechanism will be locked into position by 2 x 10mm
bolts. The tone arm and platter motor are also held in place by a retaining plate
and there will be various pieces of packing and foam supports holding the
mechanism and playing components in place. It is important to work through
methodically to remove these in order to set the Console - 20 up - ready to play.
The following pages will show how to remove all these items and set up, ready
to play.
Ensure you store the removed components safely as these will be required
should you need to move the Console - 20 in the future.
Remove the packing foam
Upon delivery the Console -20 will contain various bits of card and foam
packing designed to wedge into moving parts ensuring that they do not move in
transit. These will be required to be removed. The location of the foam packing
is shown in the image below. Gently grasp and pull any foam free.

Removing the transit retaining bolts and foam. Fig 3
• With the Console - 20 powered OFF unbolt and remove the rear door.
PLEASE NOTE that there may be packing foam between the rear door and the
mechanism. Remove this and store for future use.
• At the base of the mechanism and you will see 2 x 10mm retaining bolts
securing two wooden blocks and a section of retaining foam underneath the
mechanism arm.
• Remove the retaining foam from beneath the mechanism arm by gently pulling
the foam to the left (towards the record stack).
• Using a 10mm spanner or socket screwdriver, carefully remove the retaining
bolts and the wooden blocks avoiding any contact with the LP Changer Arm.
The Lower section of the mechanism is now ready.
Preparing the Playing Area

the glass lid from underneath to raise it. Go to the front of the machine and
Manually raise the glass to its full height.
• Look into the playing area on the right hand side of the cabinet -
as shown in Fig 4.
• Carefully remove the transit plate retaining tabs by loosening the screws with a
suitable screwdriver then removing the bolts with a 5mm nut spinner or spanner.
The transit plate is now able to be lifted from the playing platter and tone arm.
It is important to remove the plate by lifting directly UP so as not to damage the
tone arm. The plate should be kept safe for use if the Console is to be moved in
the future.
• Remove the retaining foam from under the tone arm.
• Remove the clear plastic stylus cover (shown in FIG 4) by sliding it towards you.
• Manually close the top glass.
• Power on the Console-20 using the main power switch on the rear of the
cabinet. (Fig1)
• Press the white RESET button on the back of the Console. (Fig 1) to exit transit
mode. The mechanism will raise then return to its home position with the LP

Touchpad Controls
The Console - 20 utilises a capacitive touchpad for the majority of its controls (The
console - is supplied with an additional remote control for further functionality) Using
the touchpad is simple and requires only a light touch to select items. When an item is
selected the LED light above the item will be lit in either Red or Green. As a touchpad
selection may have more than one function, these colours might indicate different
things so its important to read this manual to familiourise yourself with the lights.

• Continue this process to build up a playlist.
Note the Console only plays entire sides and cannot play individual tracks.
Ejecting a side, record or playlist
The eject button can be used to remove the current record playing from the
turntable. If more than one side is programmed into the playlist, for instance if
the record has been set to play both sides and is currently playing side A, the
eject mode will eject just this side and then play side B.
If the eject button is held down for a few seconds, this will clear all selections
from the Console’s memory.
Using the remote control
The Console - 20 is equipped with a remote control. This can be used to make
selections and eject records, adjust the volume and lighting and select shuffle
modes. A diagram of the available functions of the remote are shown in Fig6
opposite.

Adjusting Volume
As a precaution against overloading the speakers when switching the Console
on, the volume is preset to a low level.
• To raise the volume to the preferred level, select a track, wait until the disc
is playing, then adjust the volume using the + - Keys on the touchpad. The
VOL 1 buttons on the remote can also be used.
• Pressing the ‘MUTE’ key on the remote, will instantly mute the amplifier. To
return the volume to the previous level press any of the volume keys.
Adjusting the EQ
The eq tone can be adjusted using the EQ pots on the rear of the Console-20
(shown in Fig1) Adjustments can be made for Bass / Mid / Treble
Powering Off the Console : Sleep Mode
It is recommended that the Console is powered off using the standby procedure
and then to “full off” at the mains switch if required. This ensures that discs are
ejected and the mechanism is in a safe position. Failure to power the Console
down in this way could damage the Console mechanism.
To power off the Console
• Press the “POWER” button on the right hand side of the touch pad or
at the top remote control (Fig6) If a disc is playing it will be returned to its
position in the mechanism stack. The mechanism will then return to its home
position at the left hand side. The LED’s on the touch pad will “cascade”
and the Console will go into sleep mode. To bring the Console out of sleep
mode press the power button again.
NOTE : Sleep mode is useful if you are going to be using your Console within a
day or so. This will conserve power but still “wake’ the Console quickly should
you wish to use it.
If you are not going to use the Console for a few days then it is recommended
to use sleep mode followed by a full power off using the power switch on the
back of the Console.

Shuffle Mode and Sequential Play
The Console features a random shuffle mode as well as a sequential play mode.
These features allow continuous play until the function is disabled. If a manual
selection is made when shuffle mode is enabled then the currently playing side
will play out before the chosen selection is played. Once the manual selection
has been played shuffle or sequential mode will continue until it is disabled.

BLUE.
• This indicates that shuffle mode is enabled.
• Shuffle mode can also be enabled using the Shuffle On/Off buttons on the
remote control.

and the blue LED indicating shuffle mode will not be illuminated.
Sequential Play
This feature plays the records in ascending order e.g: 1A - 1B - 2A -2B. The
mechanism will start from its current position and then play sequentially until the
feature is turned off.
NOTE : Random shuffle mode will over ride sequential mode and sequential
mode cannot be activated when other shuffle modes are in operation.
To enable or disable Sequential Modes
