Bang & Olufsen Beogram 4002 Manual

Beogram

4002 - a high-fide-

lity stereo record player fea­turing fully automatic opera­tion. The

4002

was developed

from Bang

&

Olufsen's first
electronically controlled re­cord player with tangential
arm the Beogram

4000.

The

new

MMC-4000

pickup uses a
elliptical naked diamond
with a stylus force of

1

gram.
The rotation of the platter is
electronically controlled and
is independent of line-voltage
variations. We hope these in­structions will help you to
realize the full benefit of your
stereo system in the ultimate
enjoyment of music.

OPERATION
Your Beogram 4002 is very

simple to operate. All you
have to do is

put a disc on the turntable
and
press the

ON

button.

The automatic control sy­stem will then rotate the turn­table at the correct speed and
bring the pickup in to the first
groove of the disc and lower
it. When the record has finis-

hed, the pickup lifts and tra­vels out to the side, and the
turntable stops.

Manual Operation
Your Beogram 4002 also can

be operated manually. You
can stop, pause, resume play
in any desired place on the
disc, or repeat a section.

Stop
If you wish to stop play be-

fore the disc hasfinished,
press

OFF.

The pickup will
rise, the tonearm will return
to the rest position and the
turntable will stop.

Pause
You can pause anywhere whi-

le playing a disc.

A

light
pressure applied to the ver­tical cueswitch will lift the
tonearm. The tonearm will be
lowered when you press a se­cond time.

Horizontal Cueing
If you do not wish to listen to

a record from the beginning,
hold the ON switch down.
The tonearm will travel across
the disc until you lower the
stylus into the groove by
pressing the vertical cue
switch.

>>

OFF

This movement across the
dich is relatively quick. If you
prefer slower scanning, press

(4)

instead. Movement will

occur only as long as you

press the button. To lower,
press (3).

Repeat

When you wish to repeat a
section you have already

heard, you can do it in two

ways:

Rapid scanning: By pressing
OFF you can cause the pick­up to travel out until you lo-

wer the stylus by pressing

(3). Slow Scanning: Keep

(2)

depressed until the stylus is
above the desired place and
thereafter press (3).

Largecenter Holes

To play a disc with a large
center hole first place the
adaptor on the record
spindle.

Speed
Your Beogram 4002 automa-

tically selects the proper
speed, indicated by illumina­tion of

oneof the scales, 33

or 45.

In the case of special

7"

discs to be played at 33

r.p.m. you can select the
speed yourself:

First press

ON,

and keep 33
depressed until the stylus
has been lowered into the
groove.

Fine Speed Adjustment
Your Beogram 4002 has two

pointers and adjustment
wheels for reading and (if
required) adjusting the
speed.

The33and45 r.p.m.
speeds can be adjusted indi­vidually.

Care of Discs

In designing the Beogram
4002, every effort has been
made to ensure that your re­cords can be played many
times with no deterioration
of sound quality. However,
there is something you can
do. You can minimize wear

by avoiding dust particles
and finger prints on your re­cords. Dust can be wiped off

using one of the aids which

are commercially available.

We assume that you keep

your discs in their jackets.

Care should be taken in re-

moving a disc because the
friction against the inner side
of the jacket is enough to
give the disc a static charge
which attracts dust. Hold the

disc jacket so that its sides

bend away from the disc. Put

your hand in below the disc

so that the middle finger
touches the center hole and

the thumb grips the rim of the

disc, without touching the

grooves of the disc. Pull the

disc out of its jacket in such

a mannerthat the jacket only

touches the edge of the disc,

not the flat surfaces. Hold

only the rim of the disc when

putting it on the turntable.
