Unpacking and set - up
Take the record player and all accessories out
of the carton. Remove the two transportation
locks (Fig. 1) by applying lateral pressure. The
locks are located underneath the platter at the
front left and at the rear right.
Put the platter onto the sub-platter and press down
the two safety springs until they set into the groove
of the platter spindle (Fig. 2).
Insert each hinge into the respective recess (Fig. 3).
Hold the dust cover parallel to the hinges (opening
angle approximately 60°), insert and push as
far as it will go. Being in this position the dust
cover may be removed at any time.

Electrical connections
By choosing the appropriate THORENS mains
transformer this record player can be operated from
nearly all existing public mains supplies. The low-voltage
plug on the cable that is coming from the mains
transformer unit is to be inserted into jack 17 (Fig. 4) at
the rear side of the record player.
The stereo signal leads have two phono plugs which are
also known as "Cinch" or RCA-plugs. They are marked
with either the letter "L" for the left channel or "R" for
the right channel. lf these letters are missing then most
likely the right channel is

marked red, perhaps by featuring a red plug at both
ends, and the left channel is marked white or black
accordingly. The RCA-plugs are inserted into the phono
input jacks of an amplifier or receiver. The separate
single litz-wire is making a connection to ground and is
to be fastened underneath the ground screw of the
amplifier or receiver.
IMPORTANT!
ALWAYS KEEP THE SHIPPING CARTON IN A DRY PLACE FOR THE EVENT THAT
THE RECORD PLAYER HAS TO BE PACKED AGAIN FOR TRANSPORTATION.
IN THIS CASE IT IS IMPORTANT TO DETACH THE PLATTER AND PUT IT ON THE
BOTTOM OF THE SHIPPINGBOX, JUST AS IT WAS ORIGINALLY DELIVERED TO YOU.
