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.
