Important notes for users in the U.K.:
Mains Plug
This apparatus is fitted with an approved moulded
13 Amp plug
To change a fuse in this type of plug proceed as
follows.
• Remove fuse cover and fuse
• F ix
new fuse which should be a BS1362 5 A,
A S T A or BSI approved type
• Refit the fuse cover
If the fitted plug is not suitable for your socket
outlets. It should be cut off and an appropriate plug
fitted in Its place
If the mams plug contains a fuse, this should have
a value of 5 A If a plug without a fuse is used, the
fuse at the distribution board should not be greater
than 5 A
Note: The severed plug must be destroyed to
avoid a possible shock hazard should it be inserted
into a 13 A socket elsewhere
How to connect a plug
The wires m the mams lead are coloured with the
following code blue = neutral (N), brown = live (U
As these colours may not correspond with the
colour markings identifying the terminals m your
plug, proceed as follows
• Connect the blue wire to the terminal marked N
or coloured black
• Connect the brown wire to the terminal marked
L or coloured red
• Do not connect either wire to the earth terminal
in the plug, marked E (or +) or coloured green
(or green and yellow)
Before replacing the plug cover, make certain that
the cord grip is clamped over the sheath of the lead
- not simply over the two wires
Copyright: Recording and playback of material
may require consent See Copyright Act 1956 and
The Performer’s Protection Acts 1958 to 1972
The mechanism of the player has self-lubricating
bearings and must not be lubricated,
if necessary, the cabinet and the turntable mat
can be cleaned with a chamois leather slightly
moistened with water. Do not use cleaning agents.
The stylus is kept clean with a soft brush, if
necessary moistened with some pure alcohol or
cleaning spirit. Always strike the brush over the
stylus in a direction moving from rear to front of
the cartridge.
REPLACING THE STYLUS UNIT (Fig. 3)
Depending on the state of your records, you may
count on a lifetime of between 1000-1500 hours.
To be quite sure of avoiding damage, however,
and to know in good time when the stylus should
be replaced, it is advisable to have the stylus
checked by your dealer once a year.
• Firmly hold the pick-up arm with one hand and
carefully pull off the stylus carrier with the
other.
• Continue to hold the pick-up arm and slide the
new stylus carrier on until it comes to a stop.
ADJUSTING THE DUST COVER HINGES (Fig.
4)
As the dust cover is fitted with friction hinges, it
can remain open in almost any position. If the
friction effect decreases, it can be increased
again by tightening the adjustment screws of the
hinges a little. Do not tighten them too much,
however, otherwise excessive force will have to
be exerted on the cover. Do not lubricate the
hinges.
