Basic operation
Turning the power on
1 Minimize the volume of the amplier.
If using a device that cannot have its volume adjusted when it
is off, minimize the volume after turning it on.
2 Set the STANDBY/ON switch on the unit to ON.
oIf the indicator above the MEASURE button is lit, press the
MEASURE button to turn it off.
3 Play a record and adjust the volume on the
amplier.
4 Use the EQ CURVE selection knob to select the
curve that sounds natural depending on the
record being played.
Putting the unit into standby
1 If a record is being played, stop playback.
2 Minimize the volume of the amplier.
3 Set the STANDBY/ON switch on the unit to
STANDBY.
4 Turn the amplier o.
Setting the load impedance
When using an MC cartridge
If the MC cartridge used has a recommended load resistance (load
impedance), set it to a value near that value. If not specified, select
the value that provides the best sound quality. The lower the load
resistance is, the lower the volume will be. Higher load resistances
will increase the volume.
A standard load resistance is 100Ω.
oThis load resistance does not refer to the internal resistance of
the cartridge (internal impedance, coil impedance).
oSelect a load resistance that is high enough for the internal resis-
tance of the cartridge being used.
oSelecting a load resistance that is not large enough relative
to internal cartridge resistance will reduce sound volume and
increase noise.
When using an MM cartridge
If the MM cartridge used has a recommended load capacity, try set-
ting the knob to a position near that value. If not specified, select
the value that provides the best sound quality.
MC cartridge impedance measurement
Use a 1kHz sine wave to measure the impedance of the entire
path including the MC cartridge and the cable that connects the
analog turntable and this device. Set the unit to receive a load
impedance that is about twice the impedance determined from the
measurement.
1 Move the analog turntable tone arm away
from the record.
2 Press the MEASURE button and the indicator
will light.
oThe meter will automatically switch to bright level.
3 Read the impedance from the lower indica-
tions on the meter.
ATTENTION
oMM cartridge impedance and load capacity cannot be measured.
oDo not measure impedance during record playback.
oPlayback sound is not output during impedance measurement.

12
Using the easy demagnetization function
Using the easy demagnetization function to demagnetize MC car-
tridges with iron cores and step-up transformers, for example, could
improve the sound quality by making it clearer and giving it greater
definition.
1 Set the impedance selection knob to DEMAG.
The load impedance is set to 0Ω and both ends of the cartridge
are short-circuited.
2 Play a record.
The playback signal current goes through the cartridge and
demagnetizes it.
oDemagnetization takes about 30 seconds. Keep the record
playing for about 30 seconds.
oPlayback sound is not output when the impedance selec-
tion knob is set to DEMAG.
3 Reset the impedance selection knob to its pre-
vious position.
Equalizer curve characteristics (time constant)
RIAA
3180μs/318μs/75μs
Decca (DECCA LP)
1590μs/318μs/60μs
Columbia (Columbia LP)
1590μs/318μs/100μs
oThere are a variety of opinions about equalizer curves.
oTry a different curve if the sound seems unnatural when using
the RIAA curve to play an old record, even a stereo LP.
Automatic power saving function
This unit has an automatic power saving function.
oThis is set to on when shipped new from the factory.
When the automatic power saving function is on
The unit will enter standby* if no operation occurs for about

9) Ne neutralisez pas la fonction de sécurité de la fiche polarisée
ou de terre. Une fiche polarisée a deux broches, l’une plus large
que l’autre. Une fiche de terre a deux broches identiques et une
troisième broche pour la mise à la terre. La broche plus large ou
la troisième broche servent à votre sécurité. Si la fiche fournie
n’entre pas dans votre prise, consultez un électricien pour le
remplacement de la prise obsolète.
10) Évitez de marcher sur le cordon d’alimentation et de le pincer,

12) Utilisez-le uniquement avec des chariots,
socles, trépieds, supports ou tables spécifiés
par le fabricant ou vendus avec l’appareil.
Si un chariot est utilisé, faites attention à ne
pas être blessé par un renversement lors
du déplacement de l’ensemble chariot/
appareil.
13) Débranchez cet appareil en cas d’orage ou de non utilisation
prolongée.
14) Confiez toute réparation à des techniciens de maintenance quali-
fiés. Une réparation est nécessaire si l’appareil a été endommagé
d’une quelconque façon, par exemple si le cordon ou la fiche
d’alimentation est endommagé, si du liquide a été renversé sur
l’appareil ou si des objets sont tombés dedans, si l’appareil a été
exposé à la pluie ou à l’humidité, s’il ne fonctionne pas normale-
ment, ou s’il est tombé.
oL’appareil tire un courant nominal de veille de la prise secteur
quand son interrupteur POWER ou STANDBY/ON n’est pas en
position ON.
oLa fiche secteur est utilisée comme dispositif de déconnexion et
doit donc toujours rester disponible.
oDes précautions doivent être prises en cas d’utilisation d’écouteurs
ou d’un casque avec le produit car une pression sonore excessive
(volume trop fort) dans les écouteurs ou dans le casque peut cau-
ser une perte auditive.

comprend les endroits exposés directement au soleil ou près
d’un radiateur, d’un chauffage, d’une cuisinière ou d’autres appa-
reils chauffants. Ne l’installez pas au-dessus d’un amplificateur
ou d’un équipement pouvant dégager une chaleur qui dépasse
la température de fonctionnement de cette unité. Cela pour-
rait causer une décoloration, une déformation ou un mauvais
fonctionnement.
oPlacez l’unité dans un endroit stable.
oQuand vous installez cette unité, laissez un peu d’espace (au
moins 3cm) entre elle et les murs et d’autres appareils afin de
permettre une bonne dissipation thermique.
Si vous la placez par exemple sur une étagère, laissez au moins
5cm de libre au-dessus de l’unité et 10cm derrière elle.
Ne pas laisser ces espaces peut faire monter la température au
risque d’entraîner un incendie.
oNe déplacez pas l’unité durant l’utilisation.
oEn raison du poids de l’unité, prenez garde à ne pas vous blesser
quand vous la déplacez. Faites vous aider si nécessaire quand
