SAFETY-RELATED COMPONENT WARNING!!

COMPONENTS IDENTIFIED BY MARK 0 OR DOTTED LINE WITH
MARK 0 ON THE SCHEMATIC DIAGRAMS AND IN THE PARTS
LIST ARE CRITICAL TO SAFE OPERATION. REPLACE THESE
COMPONENTS WITH SONY PARTS WHOSE P ART NUMBERS AP­PEAR AS SHOWN IN THIS MANUAL OR IN SUPPLEMENTS PUB­LISHED BY SONY .

SAFETY CHECK-OUT

After correcting the original service problem, perform the follow­ing safety checks before releasing the set to the customer:
Check the antenna terminals, metal trim, “metallized” knobs,
screws, and all other exposed metal parts for AC leakage.
Check leakage as described below.

LEAKAGE TEST

The AC leakage from any exposed metal part to earth ground and
from all exposed metal parts to any exposed metal part having a
return to chassis, must not exceed 0.5 mA (500 microampers).
Leakage current can be measured by any one of three methods.

1. A commercial leakage tester, such as the Simpson 229 or RCA
WT-540A. Follow the manufacturers’ instructions to use these
instruments.

2. A battery-operated AC milliammeter. The Data Precision 245
digital multimeter is suitable for this job.

3. Measuring the voltage drop across a resistor by means of a VOM
or battery-operated AC voltmeter. The “limit” indication is 0.75
V, so analog meters must have an accurate low-voltage scale.
The Simpson 250 and Sanwa SH-63Trd are examples of a pas­sive VOM that is suitable. Nearly all battery operated digital
multimeters that have a 2V AC range are suitable. (See Fig. A)

1

Carefully place the platter onto the spindle.

Make sure the two pins on the bottom of the

platter are properly inserted into the two holes in

the motor, as indicated by the arrows in the

illustration above.

2

Place the slip mat on the platter.

3

Slide the counterweight onto the shaft at the rear

of the tonearm and turn 3 or 4 times in the

direction of the arrow.

4

Insert the headshell into the end of the tonearm.

Turn the locking ring in the direction of the arrow

until the headshell is secure.5Insert the hinges on the dust cover into the hinge

pockets on the rear of the cabinet.

Getting Started

Adjusting the Turntable

Before attempting to play any records, be sure to

complete the following steps to properly adjust the

tonearm balance, tracking force and anti-skating dial.

Failure to complete these adjustments will result in

inferior sound quality and may cause permanent

damage to the stylus and record.

1

Make sure the turntable is level.

2

Set ANTI-SKATING to “0.”

3

Set the cueing lever to the down position.

4

Turn up the protective cover to expose the stylus,

and move the tonearm to the space between the

arm stand and the platter.

Take care not to damage the stylus.

5

Balance the tonearm by turning the counterweight

either clockwise or counterclockwise.

When the tonearm is properly balanced

It will remain level with the platter when released.

It should not tilt in the direction of either the headshell

or the counterweight.

6

Return the tonearm to the arm stand.

7

A properly balanced tonearm has a tracking force

of zero. Therefore, rotate the tracking force scale

ring until “0” is aligned to the index line.

Restrain the counterweight with your other hand so

that it does not rotate along with the scale ring.

0

Index line

8

When you use the supplied cartridge, turn the

counterweight counterclockwise one full rotation,

and then continue turning it until the index line

comes to 1. Since one full rotation of the

counterweight yields a tracking force of 3 grams,

this adjustment results in a tracking force of

4 grams, which is the normal requirement for the

supplied cartridge.

You can set a tracking force of 3 to 7 grams.

1

When optionally available cartridge is used

The tracking force scale ring is marked in 0.1-gram

units. One full rotation yields a tracking force of

3 grams.

9

Set ANTI-SKATING to the same value as the

tracking force scale ring.

The numbers on the ANTI-SKATING dial indicate

the number of grams in tracking force.

Turn this ring so that the

“0“ lines up with the index

line.

Turn the counterweight

counterclockwise one full

rotation, and then a little

more until the index line

is aligned to 1.

5

Remove the protective cover from the cartridge

and release the arm stopper.

6

Set the cueing lever in the up position.

Move the tonearm to the desired point on the

record.7Set the cueing lever to the down position.

The tonearm will descend slowly to the record and

play will begin.8If you want to change the pitch, press the

QUARTZ lock button (the QUARTZ indicator will

turn off). Then adjust the pitch by moving the

PITCH ADJ. knob.

The distance from the center position to the

farthest point on the scale represents a change of

10% in the pitch. You can also use the

PITCH BEND + and – buttons to change the pitch

(see “Using the PITCH BEND + and – buttons” on

page 8).9If you wish, you can return to normal speed

(33 1/3 or 45 rpm) while the PITCH ADJ. knob is

off center by pressing the QUARTZ lock button

(the QUARTZ indicator will turn on).

Press the QUARTZ lock button again to go back to

the previous pitch setting (the QUARTZ indicator

will turn off).

Note

The PITCH ADJ. knob does not function while the

QUARTZ lock is on (i.e., while the QUARTZ indicator is

on).

10

To adjust the volume, use the respective channel

fader on the mixer, or the volume control on the

stereo component system or amplifier.

To stop play

1 Set the cueing lever in the up position and return

the tonearm to the arm stand.

Attach the protective cover onto the cartridge to

prevent damage to the stylus.

2 Press Bx START/STOP.

The platter stops rotating.

Secure the tonearm with the arm stopper.

3 Turn POWER to OFF.

To pause play

Press Bx START/STOP or set the cueing lever in the

up position to raise the stylus.

Before playing a record, be sure the PHONO/LINE

switch on the mixer is set to PHONO.

1

Place a record on the platter.

Note

Place only one record on the platter at a time. If two or

more records are stacked on the platter, the stylus will

not make proper contact with the grooves and the

quality of reproduction will be impaired.

2

Turn the POWER switch to ON.

The strobo lamp, the QUARTZ lock indicator, and

SPEED indicator light up.

Turn the POWER switch on the mixer and

amplifier to ON also.3Set PITCH ADJ. knob to the center position.

When the turntable is turned on, the platter speed

is automatically set to 33 rpm. Verify that the

green indicator lights up.

4

Press Bx START/STOP.

The platter starts rotating.

If you select 33 rpm when the turntable is

connected to a 50 Hz power source, the uppermost

row of the strobe dots should appear to stand still.

Operations

To play an another part of the record

1 Set the cueing lever to the up position to raise the

stylus.

2 Move the tonearm to the desired position.

3 Set the cueing lever to the down position.

To play a 45 single

Place the supplied 45 adaptor onto the spindle.

Press SPEED to select 45 rpm.

The green indicator changes to red.

After you have finished using the adaptor, return it to

the adaptor tray.

Using the PITCH BEND + and – buttons

You can use the PITCH BEND + and – buttons to

synchronize the beat of the selection playing on one

turntable with the beat of another selection playing on

the other turntable. You can use these buttons even if

the QUARTZ lock button is turned on or off.

1 Use the PITCH ADJ. knob to synchronize the

speed of the selection playing on one of the

turntables with the speed of the selection on the

other turntable.

2 Press the PITCH BEND + and – buttons to

synchronize the beat of both selections. Pressing

and holding down the + or – button causes the

selection to play 10% faster or slower than the

normal playing speed.
