OWNER’S RECORD
For your convenience, record the model number and serial number in the space provided
below. Please refer to them when you contact your dealer in case of diculty.
Model No. : ......................................

This turntable has been engineered to give extremely good musical
reproduction. Inherent in the design are several features that improve
sound quality and focus the manufacturing costs where they are most
needed.
Example: Speed change is achieved by manually moving the drive belt
from one pulley to another as shown below.
QUICKSTART FOR FACTORY FITTED CARTRIDGE
The C 556 is designed to be setup and used seamlessly. Setup the factory
tted cartridge by the following setup instruction.
1 Push the counterweight as close as
possible to the stop point in order to
attain the correct tracking weight. This
will automatically set the tonearm to
within the recommended tracking
range for the factory tted stylus (1.5g
– 2.0g).

Counterweight
The cost saving from the use of manual speed change allows a very
expensive low vibration motor with an accuracy exceeding that of
conventional designs to be employed.
NOTES ON INSTALLATION
1 Try to mount the turntable on a rigid, level surface. A light shelf screwed
to the wall or in an alcove would be ideal. Avoid mounting on hollow or
heavy cabinets, or anything mounted on a wooden oor.
2 DO NOT lift the centre hub from its bearing. The bearing is factory
assembled with a lm of thick lubricant. Disturbance of this can cause
serious problems with speed variation and wear.
3 The tonearm is automatically earthed (or ground) through the arm
cable screening. No other earthing should be necessary.
4 Save the packing, in case the turntable has to be transported in the
future.
TIPS AND SUGGESTIONS
1 Try to keep the lid closed while playing records. This will prevent dust
falling onto the records and make cleaning unnecessary. There may also
be a sound improvement.
2 Try to leave the turntable running during a record playing session.
Switch ON before the start, and only switch OFF after the last record has
nished. Changing records while the platter revolves is easier than it
sounds!
3 When the record reaches the end of one side, remember to lift the
stylus o the surface of the record using the lift/lower mechanism.
4 When switching on the turntable, especially at 45rpm, it is
recommended to give the platter a quick spin clockwise as the “ON”
switch is pressed. This relieves strain on the motor and belt.
5 No maintenance should be necessary. If the turntable is working well,
leave it alone. Some settling of the anti-vibration feet may cause the
turntable to lean backwards slightly after a few months, but this is
nothing to worry about.
6 Don’t use a record cleaner that works as the record plays, or any
cleaners that use water or uids. Don’t touch the playing surface of
records. Visible dust on the record surface is simply brushed aside by
the stylus, and any that collects there can easily be blown away.
7 Don’t use any polishes on the turntable or lid. To clean or dust, wipe
gently with a soft cotton duster (slightly damp, only if necessary).
2 Set the Bias adjustment slider to the
same number as the tracking weight.
For example, 1.5g tracking weight =
1.5g on the Bias slider.
Bias slider
ADVANCED SET-UP
A tracking pressure gauge is required to correctly apply the required down
force when changing the factory tted cartridge with a new or dierent
cartridge. The down force must correspond to the upper limit of the
cartridge maker’s recommended range.
1 Align the new cartridge correctly as shown.
A
Stylus tip
2 Adjust the cartridge position in the head-shell so that the stylus tip is
vertically aligned with the front of the hole marked A.
3 Ensure the cartridge is sitting square in the head-shell before fully
tightening. Do not over tighten!
4 Set the Bias adjustment slider to the same number as the tracking
weight.
A
CONNECTING THE C 556
Use the external phono leads to connect the C 556 to an amplier. Use an
external Phono Preamplier (like one of NAD’s Phono Preamplier series) if
your amplier has no integrated phono stage.
ENJOY THE MUSIC!

Cette platine tourne-disques a été conçue et fabriquée pour une
reproduction musicale d’excellente qualité. Dès la phase de conception,
les fonctionnalités ont été centrées sur une amélioration de la qualité
sonore de manière à consacrer les coûts de la fabrication aux points les plus
importants.
Exemple: Le changement de vitesse se fait en déplaçant la courroie
d’entraînement d’une poulie à une autre, comme le montre le schéma
ci-dessous.
7 N’utilisez aucun produit pour nettoyer la platine ou son couvercle.
Pour éliminer la poussière, essuyez doucement avec un chion doux
(légèrement humecté si c’est vraiment nécessaire).
IL NE VOUS RESTE PLUS QU’À PROFITER DE LA MUSIQUE !
DÉMARRAGE RAPIDE POUR LA CELLULE DE LECTURE
INSTALLÉE EN USINE
Le C 556 est conçu pour être installé et utilisé en toute simplicité. Réglez la
cellule de lecture installée en usine en suivant les instructions de réglage.
L’économie réalisée grâce à ce changement de vitesse manuel a permis
d’incorporer un moteur très onéreux, dont le niveau vibratoire est
extrêmement bas et la précision bien supérieure aux modèles traditionnels.
NOTES CONCERNANT L’INSTALLATION
1 Dans la mesure du possible, posez la platine tourne-disques sur une
surface plane et rigide. Une étagère légère vissée au mur ou dans
une alcôve sont des solutions idéales. Évitez de poser la platine sur un
meuble creux ou lourd, ou sur n’importe quel meuble posé sur un sol
en bois.
2 NE SOULEVEZ PAS le moyeu central de son palier. Le palier a été
assemblé chez le fabricant avec une couche de lubriant épais. Si vous
dérangez cet assemblage, cela peut entraîner de graves problèmes
d’usure et d’oscillations de vitesse.
3 Le bras de lecture est automatiquement relié à la terre (ou à la masse)
via le blindage du câble du bras. Aucune autre mise à la terre ne devrait
être nécessaire.
4 Conservez les emballages, pour le cas où vous auriez besoin de
transporter la platine tourne-disques à nouveau.
CONSEILS ET SUGGESTIONS
1 Dans la mesure du possible, le couvercle doit rester fermé pendant
la lecture des disques. Cette précaution empêche la poussière de se
déposer sur les disques et rend leur nettoyage inutile. Elle permet aussi
d’améliorer la reproduction du son.
2 Dans la mesure du possible, laissez tourner le plateau en permanence
pendant une séance d’écoute de disques. Mettez l’appareil en marche
avant de commencer et ne l’éteignez pas avant la n du dernier disque.
Changer un disque alors que le plateau tourne, ce n’est pas aussi facile
que l’on puisse le penser !
3 Lorsque vous avez ni d’écouter une face d’un disque, n’oubliez pas de
relever la pointe de la surface du disque en vous servant du lève-bras.
4 Lorsque vous mettez la platine tourne-disques en marche, surtout à
45 tr/mn, il est recommandé de lancer manuellement le plateau dans
le sens des aiguilles d’une montre au moment où vous appuyez sur le
bouton «MARCHE». En procédant ainsi, vous diminuerez les contraintes
sur le moteur et la courroie.
5 Aucune maintenance n’est normalement nécessaire. Si la platine
tourne-disques fonctionne correctement, ne touchez à rien. Après
quelques mois, il se pourrait que les pieds antivibratoires se tassent un
peu, faisant pencher la platine légèrement en arrière, mais cela ne doit
susciter aucune inquiétude.
6 N’utilisez pas d’appareil qui nettoie les disques pendant la lecture, ni
de dispositif de nettoyage qui fonctionne avec de l’eau ou un liquide
quelconque. Ne touchez pas la surface de lecture des disques. Toute
poussière visible à la surface du disque est simplement balayée par la
pointe; en cas d’accumulation de poussières au niveau de la pointe, il
sut de la dégager en souant dessus.
1 Poussez le contrepoids aussi près que
possible du point d’arrêt an d’obtenir
la force d’appui exacte. Cela règlera
automatiquement le bras dans la plage
de force d’appui recommandée pour la
pointe de lecture installée en usine
(1,5 – 2,0 g).
2 Réglez la glissière de compensation de
la force centripète au même nombre
que le contrepoids. Par exemple,
force d’appui de 1,5 g = 1,5 g sur la
glissière de compensation de la force
centripète.

RÉGLAGE AVANCÉ
Une jauge de force d’appui est nécessaire pour appliquer la force
d’appui nécessaire lorsque la cellule installée en usine est remplacée
par une nouvelle cellule ou une cellule diérente. La force d’appui doit
correspondre à la limite supérieure de la plage recommandée par le
fabricant de la cellule.
1 Alignez correctement la nouvelle cellule comme montré.

2 Ajustez la position de la cellule dans le support de tête an que la
pointe de lecture soit verticalement alignée avec l’avant du trou A.
3 Assurez-vous que la cellule est posée à l’équerre dans le support de tête
avant de serrer. Évitez de trop serrer !
4 Réglez la glissière de compensation de la force centripète au même
nombre que le contrepoids.
A
RACCORDEMENT DU C 556
Utilisez les câbles phono externes pour raccorder le C 556 à un
amplicateur. Si votre amplicateur n’est pas doté d’un étage phono
intégré, utilisez un préampli phono externe (comme un des modèles de la
gamme de préamplicateurs phono de NAD).
