( 1 )
TROUBLESHOOTING
There is no power
Make sure the DC power lead single pin plug is fully inserted into the DC socket on the rear of the unit, and the 3-
pin plug into the AC power socket.
Check the wall socket is working by plugging in another device, and ensure the wall socket switch (if any) has
been switched on.
Make sure the unit is switched on with the ON-OFF Switch.
There is no sound
Increase the volume level by turning the Volume Control.
Check you did not leave any Headphones plugged in –this will cut all sound from the speakers.
Check the Play/Pause button has not been pressed in error –press it to resume play.
Make sure no external device or cable is connected to the LINE-IN jack. Remove it before using another function.
The sound is too loud
The unit is too close to a TV set or other device. Place the system away from the other devices, or turn it off.
The Turntable will not work
Make sure the unit is set to Phono mode by sliding the Function switch to ‘AUX/PH’.
Move the Tone arm toward the turntable platter - it should start rotating.
The Turntable Drive Belt may have become disconnected in transit. Spin the round platter manually, if it revolves
freely the belt may have come off and needs to be refitted. If there is some resistance, the belt should still be in
place and there could be another reason why it is not spinning. Unfortunately, refitting a belt can only be done
by a Technician due to difficult access to the mechanism, which is underneath the Turntable and integral CD
Player.
The Tone Arm will not move
The black tie-wrap has not been removed from the Tone Arm.
The Tone Arm hold down clip has not been released to the right.
Make sure you lift the Tone Arm with the Cue Lever and then move it manually over the edge of the record –then
lower it with the Cue Lever. Caution: Do not force it down onto the record without using the Cue Lever.
The Tone Arm slides or skips across the Record
Make sure the protective needle cover is removed.
Make sure the Stylus has not been damaged or is worn out –replace if necessary.
Use no scratched, damaged or twisted records. Clean the records before use.
Make sure the unit is placed on a level and stable surface to avoid vibrations or shock.
Turntable –the sound is low when playing a record
Try removing and refitting the stylus and/or Tone Arm Cartridge.
Turn up the volume a bit more.
I have recorded a Record but it does not display any Folder/Artist/Title or Song Information
Vinyl records have no digital information, so no MP3 song information will be stored on the USB device or card.
However, if required, MP3 tracks can be transferred to, viewed and named on a computer.
I have recorded a CD to a USB device, but it does not display any Folder/Artist/Title or Song Information
If this information was not already on the original Disc, this will not show on the recorded disc either.
The CD does not play
Check to make sure the CD is correctly placed on the CD mechanism (label side facing up).
Make sure the Function switch is set to CD and a Disc is in the tray.
Make sure the CD is not a blank one and there is music recorded on it.
Check that the surface of the CD is clean. See separate Instructions on CD Care.
You can’t play unfinished CD-Rs / CD-RW / CD-MP3-CDs. Finish those CDs in a CD recorder and then try again.

GUIDE PINS
TONE ARM
CARTRIDGE
-Never use a stabilizer - using commercially available CD stabilizers with this unit will damage the mechanisms and
ensure that they no longer function properly.
-Do not use CD’s made into unconventional form (e.g. octagonal, heart-shaped, business card size, etc.) as they
can seriously damage the unit.
RECORD CARE
-Before playing a record, make sure it is clean, not dusty or misshapen
and has no scratches to avoid damage to the needle. Keep your record
free of dust and store it in a cool, dry place.
-To avoid dust and scratches, leave your records in their cases or covers if they are not needed.
-Store records upright on their edges. Mounted horizontally, the panels could bend and this could
cause warping.
-Exposing records to direct sunlight or high humidity or excessive temperature can cause
warping.
-If the record is dirty, gently wipe the surface in a circular motion with a soft anti-static cloth.
-Do not touch the plate grooves. Hold the vinyl discs by the edges or the label.
-Make sure that your hands are clean. Oils of clean hands can leave a residue on the disk surface and thus
gradually degrade the quality.
STYLUS
A universal Sapphire Stylus is supplied and fitted to the Tone Arm. This is suitable for playing records of all 3
speeds (33/45/78rpm). A replacement Stylus and a special stylus for playing 78rpm records are available directly
from the Manufacturer and some Dealers.
You should get many hours of use out of the stylus supplied. However, it is recommended that, once you notice a
change in the sound quality, the stylus is replaced. Prolonged use of a worn or bent needle could cause damage
to the record or malfunctioning of the turntable. The wear of the needle is accelerated by playing records at
78rpm. Higher speeds than 78rpm lead to an even higher wear.
REPLACING THE STYLUS
The unit is fitted with a universal stylus, suitable for playing 33/45/78rpm records.
When the stylus eventually needs replacing, follow the procedure below:
Removing a Stylus
Turn off the power before replacing the Stylus.
To remove the Stylus from the Tone Arm, hold the Tone Arm head steady while grabbing the plastic Stylus Holder
with two fingers - then gently pull the complete Red stylus holder straight
towards you and off the silver cartridge.
It may be easier with the help of a fine screwdriver, apply this to the tip of the
stylus, as shown in the diagram, and gently press it down in the direction of
the arrow A.
Pull out the needle in the direction of the arrow B, as shown in the line
drawing.
Refitting a Stylus
To re-fit the Stylus, hold the sides of the Red plastic stylus holder, ensuring the needle part is facing downwards.
Hold the tip of the holder, and insert the back edge of the stylus holder at a slight angle, in the direction of the
arrow Cin the line drawing, against the silver cartridge at the end of the Tone Arm and gently push the front of
the needle holder up in the direction of the arrow Duntil it clips into position and you are sure it is securely fitted.
Refit the white protective needle guard, if so required.
Consult a trained professional if you have problems changing the needle.
Always handle the Stylus with care as the Sapphire needle tip is easily damaged.
When removing or re-fitting the Stylus, always be careful not to put too much pressure on the Stylus Holder and
the Tone Arm silver cartridge to avoid any possible damage to them.
When transporting the turntable it is advisable to re-fit the white protective needle cover and the Tone Arm Hold-
down Clip until the unit is going to be used again.

COMPACT DISC CARE
–To remove a disc from its storage case, press down on
the centre of the case and lift the disc out, holding it
carefully by the edges. Fingerprints and dust should be
carefully wiped off the disc’s recorded surface with a
soft cloth. Unlike conventional vinyl or Shellac records,
compact discs have no grooves to collect dust and microscopic debris, so a gentle wipe with a soft clean cloth should
remove most particles. Wipe in a straight line from the inside to the outside of the disc. Small dust particles and
light stains have absolutely no effect on sound reproduction quality.
–Clean the disc periodically with a soft, lint-free, dry cloth.
–Never use detergents or abrasive cleaners to clean the disc.
–If necessary, use a CD cleaning kit.
–Never affix labels to the surface of compact discs or write on them, except very gently with specialist CD-R Pens. Use
a soft oil-based CD felt pen, manufactured specifically for CD (or DVD) to write information on the label side. Do not
use ballpoint pens or other sharp point, as this may cause damage to the recording side.
CD’s that can be played with this unit:
–Conventional Audio CD’s bearing the CD Digital Audio Logo on the label and CD-R, CD-RW and MP3-CD’s.
–Insert the disc with the printed side up in the tray.
–To remove a disc from its case, press in the centre of the housing to single out and release the CD.
How to remove a CD How to hold a CD
–CDs should be placed back in their cases after use to prevent damage from dust and scratches. These can cause the
laser "skips" on tracks.
–Do not expose CDs to direct sunlight or high humidity.
–Prolonged exposure to high temperatures can result in deformations of the CD disc.
–Discs that are warped, deformed or damaged should not be played as it could cause irreparable damage to the unit.
–CD-R, CD-RW and MP3-CDs are more sensitive to the effects of heat and ultraviolet rays than ordinary CDs. It is
therefore important that they are not stored in a location where they are exposed to direct sunlight. In addition, you
should store them away from heat sources such as heaters or heat-generating electrical devices.
–Printable CD-R, CD-RW and CD-MP3-CDs are not recommended, since the label pages can melt at high temperatures
and become sticky, which can lead to damage to the device.
–Please use no papers, protective films or sprays as protection for CD’s.

Children should always be supervised while using the radio or headphones.
Damage to your hearing can be extensive and cannot be reversed.
If you suspect you may have developed a hearing problem, please consult your doctor.
SETTING A SAFE VOLUME LEVEL
If you continually listen to loud music, your hearing gradually adapts to it and gives you the impression that the
volume is lower. What seemed normal to you can already have been too loud and damaging for your hearing. To
protect yourself from this, we recommend you set the volume at a low level. Always increase the volume gradually
to medium level.

CASSETTE CARE
Two common causes of trouble experienced when using cassettes are:
Tape jamming, leading to uneven speed during playback.
Tape entangling, when the tape wraps itself around vital parts of the mechanism.
To avoid these problems occurring, take the following precautions:
1. Check that there are no loose layers of tape visible through the cassette door window
(see fig. 1).
2. Take up any loose layers, using a pencil or a ballpoint pen with a hexagonal barrel,
before inserting the cassette (see fig. 2).
Notes on Handling Cassettes
If the cassette feels tight whilst performing this operation (fig. 2), the tape may be
jamming due to ridges formed in the winding of the tape (visible through the cassette
door window).
In most cases, these may be removed by fast rewinding (F FWD) of the cassette from
one end to the other and back again.
Do not expose cassettes to direct sunlight, dust or oil.
Do not touch the tape. Fingerprints attract dust and dirt.
Avoid dropping a cassette or expose it to excessive vibration.
We recommend you use well-known brands of tape, preferably C60 size.
Do not use C-120 tapes, because the design of those cartridges is often very unstable and they can get caught in
the transport mechanism.
More on Cassette Use & Care
Do not store tapes in the following places:
-On top of heaters or where there is direct sunlight
-High temperature locations
-Near loudspeakers, televisions and amplifiers
-In areas subject to strong magnetic fields
-In areas with high humidity
-Dirty, dusty places
Head Maintenance
-Head and tape path should be periodically cleaned and demagnetized. Please use as a cassette-type head
cleaning tape.
-For specific details on the proper use of the products, please read the manual of the respective product.
