USING THE C 556

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 fitted cartridge by the following setup instruction.

1 Push the counterweight as close as	Stop point
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 fitted stylus (1.5g
– 2.0g).	Tonearm
– 2.0g).	Tonearm
		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

1Try 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 floor.

2DO NOT lift the centre hub from its bearing. The bearing is factory assembled with a film of thick lubricant. Disturbance of this can cause serious problems with speed variation and wear.

3The tonearm is automatically earthed (or ground) through the arm cable screening. No other earthing should be necessary.

4Save the packing, in case the turntable has to be transported in the future.

TIPS AND SUGGESTIONS

1Try 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.

2Try to leave the turntable running during a record playing session. Switch ON before the start, and only switch OFF after the last record has finished. Changing records while the platter revolves is easier than it sounds!

3When the record reaches the end of one side, remember to lift the stylus off the surface of the record using the lift/lower mechanism.

4When 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.

5No 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.

6Don’t use a record cleaner that works as the record plays, or any cleaners that use water or fluids. 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.

7Don’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).

ENJOY THE MUSIC!

2Set 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 fitted cartridge with a new or different 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	A

Stylus tip

2Adjust the cartridge position in the head-shell so that the stylus tip is vertically aligned with the front of the hole marked A.

3Ensure the cartridge is sitting square in the head-shell before fully tightening. Do not over tighten!

4Set the Bias adjustment slider to the same number as the tracking weight.

CONNECTING THE C 556

Use the external phono leads to connect the C 556 to an amplifier. Use an external Phono Preamplifier (like one of NAD’s Phono Preamplifier series) if your amplifier has no integrated phono stage.

UTILISATION DU C 556

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.

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

1Dans 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.

2NE SOULEVEZ PAS le moyeu central de son palier. Le palier a été assemblé chez le fabricant avec une couche de lubrifiant épais. Si vous dérangez cet assemblage, cela peut entraîner de graves problèmes d’usure et d’oscillations de vitesse.

3Le 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.

4Conservez les emballages, pour le cas où vous auriez besoin de transporter la platine tourne-disques à nouveau.

CONSEILS ET SUGGESTIONS

1Dans 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.

2Dans 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 fin du dernier disque. Changer un disque alors que le plateau tourne, ce n’est pas aussi facile que l’on puisse le penser !

3Lorsque vous avez fini 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.

4Lorsque 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.

5Aucune 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.

6N’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 suffit de la dégager en soufflant dessus.

7N’utilisez aucun produit pour nettoyer la platine ou son couvercle. Pour éliminer la poussière, essuyez doucement avec un chiffon 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.

1Poussez le contrepoids aussi près que possible du point d’arrêt afin 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).

2Réglez 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 différente. 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.

2Ajustez la position de la cellule dans le support de tête afin que la pointe de lecture soit verticalement alignée avec l’avant du trou A.

3Assurez-vous que la cellule est posée à l’équerre dans le support de tête avant de serrer. Évitez de trop serrer !

4Réglez la glissière de compensation de la force centripète au même nombre que le contrepoids.

RACCORDEMENT DU C 556

Utilisez les câbles phono externes pour raccorder le C 556 à un amplificateur. Si votre amplificateur n’est pas doté d’un étage phono intégré, utilisez un préampli phono externe (comme un des modèles de la gamme de préamplificateurs phono de NAD).
