triangle, is intended to alert the user to the presence of
uninsulated “dangerous voltage” within the product’s enclosure
that may be of sufficient magnitude to constitute a risk of
electric shock to persons.
The exclamation point within an equilateral triangle is intended
to alert the user to the presence of important operating
and maintenance (servicing) instructions in the literature

Getting Started
Getting Started
Cabinet with natural wood exterior in dark brown
with gloss fi nish
The cabinet is made with natural wood veneer overgrazed like
Japanese lacquerware, with rich, glossy fi nish.
Stereo MC cartridge DL-A100 included
DL-103 was launched for Japan broadcasting Corporation in 1964,
and continued to be standard cartridge during 50 years. DL-A100 is
reproduction of engineering reference model of DL-103.
Hybrid double-layered large turntable for stable
rotation
The die-cast aluminum turntable is 331 mm in diameter. Silicon
rubber covers the entire rear surface for deadening treatment to
absorb howl.
Quartz lock servo and direct-drive system for
stable rotation
The player includes a quartz lock servo system that controls
rotation speed by detecting the interval of optical pulses from a
slit in the motor. Stable control of reduced wow and fl utter and
high accurate rotation with little eccentricity are achieved.
Universal-type tone arm and lathe machinedaluminum head shell
A tone arm on a large die-cast aluminum base whose height can be
adjusted within 6 mm assures smooth and accurate tracing.
The combination of the tone arm and lathe machined-aluminum
head shell suppresses undesirable resonance that would affect
sound quality, as well as taking best advantage of the characteristics
of the cartridge.
• Before turning the power switch on
Check once again that all connections are correct and that there are
no problems with the connection cables.
• When going on vacation or leaving home for long periods of time, be
sure to unplug the power cord from the power outlet.
• About Condensation
If there is a major difference in temperature between the inside of
the unit and the surroundings, condensation (dew) may form on
the operating parts inside the unit, causing the unit not to operate
properly.
If this happens, let the unit sit for an hour or two with the power
turned off and wait until there is little difference in temperature
before using the unit.
• Moving the unit
Turn off the power and unplug the power cord from the power
outlet. Next, disconnect the connection cables to other system units
before moving the unit.
• About Care
Clean the cabinet and dust cover with the included wiping cloth.
Follow the instructions when using a chemical cleaner.
Benzene, paint thinner or other organic solvents as well as insecticide
may cause material changes and discoloration if brought into contact
with the unit, and should therefore not be used.
• Extrior fi nish
The cabinet has a dark brown glossy fi nish. As fi ne scratches may be
prominent, use the included wiping cloth to clean the surface.
• Lubricating
The motor does not require lubricating. Do not lubricate the player.
Stylus life (DL-A100)
The stylus has service life of about 2000 hours. It depends on the
operating conditions. If the stylus tip is worn, high-frequency sound
will be rough and distorted. To avoid damaging valuable records,
replace the cartridge without delay.
Cleaning the stylus tip
The stylus tip is very delicate and requires suffi cient care. Remove
dust from the stylus tip with a soft brush (included with the cartridge).
Note on lubricating
The motor does not require lubricating. Do not lubricate the player.
Doing so may damage the player.

so that it will be parallel to the record when the stylus is placed on a
record.
Adjust it for the cartridge or head shell to be used.
When the included head shell and cartridge are to be used, adjust
the arm height adjustment ring to “0”.
Place the stylus tip on a record, and check that the
