Rega RP8 User Manual

Do not use any polish on the turntable or lid. To clean, wipe gently with a soft cotton

duster (slightly damp only if required).

Rega turntables are designed to optimise performance for music reproduction and

therefore no compromises have been made to give quick start times. The normal time

taken for full speed to be reached is between 2 and 5 seconds.

Warning: Any attempt to repair or modify the turntable or tonearm by persons other

than Rega approved personnel may invalidate the guarantee. Should you experience any

problem with your turntable please contact your Rega dealer.

TRANSPORTING YOUR RP8

Should you need to transport your RP8, to avoid any possible transit damage, the

following recommendations must be followed. Remove tonearm balance weight and

secure the arm in its rest with tape or covered wire. This will ensure no sudden or

violent movement is transmitted to the delicate bearings. To remove platter , hold down

the hub centre at the same time as lifting the platter on each side.

NEVER place your RP8 upside-down or on its side. This would allow oil in the

hub/bearing assembly to leak and cause speed and/or wear problems. If you have to

ship your turntable or use a carrier, save and use ALL of the original packaging.
