FEATURES

Magnedisc Servo System monitors the speed of the turntable with great precision.

The linear torque BSL (brushless and slotless) direct drive servo motor has a high signal-to-noise ratio.

The low-mass tonearm and cartridge allow the stylus to track with greater accuracy.

Servo Lock indicator illuminates lighter when the turntable starts to rotate at nominal speed.

Disc centering guides facilitate placing a 30 cm record over the center spindle.

On safety

Operate the unit only on 120 V ac, 60 Hz.

Should any solid object or liquid fall into the cabinet, unplug the unit and have it checked by qualified personnel before operating it any further.

Unplug the unit from the wall outlet if it is not to be used for an extended period of time. To disconnect the cord, pull it out by the plug. Never pull the cord itself.

On installation

Place the turntable on a level surface.

Avoid placing the unit near electrical appliances (such as a televi­ sion, hair dryer, or fluorescent lamp) which may cause hum or

noise.

Place the turntable where it will not be subject to any vibration, such as from speakers, slamming of doors, etc.

Keep the unit away from direct sunlight, extremes of temperature, and excessive dust and moisture.

Allow at least 10 cm (4 inches) clearance behind the unit so that the cover can be opened.

On dust cover removal

Open the dust cover fully and slide it upward with both hands.

On repacking

Do not throw away the carton and packing materials. It is an ideal container in which to transport the unit. When shipping the unit to another location, secure the tonearm to the arm rest and repack it as illustrated on the carton box.
