Operating procedures

Operatlng precautions
The START/STOP indicator winks while the tonearm is operating au-
tomatically. Do not touch the tonearm while it is moving.

Whenever the power is first turned on, the turntable's rotation speed
is automatically reset to 33 rpm, and the record size to 30 cm.

" if the record size designated with the SIZE selector switch differs
from the size of the record actual played. the stylus may be damaged
by direct contact with the platter. In particular, whenever using
record other than standard sizes (30 cm. LP, 17 cm: EP). use the
manual play mode.

During play, if the UPIDOWN switch' Is pressed to raise the tonearm,
the START/STOP switch will become inoperative.

' During the time the START/STOP Indicator is winking, neither the
START/STOP switch nor the UPIDOWN switch will operate. In this
case, wait until the tonearm operation ceases and the indicator goes
out before pressing these switches.

Furnished cartridge

The cartridge (AT-31008) supplied with the turntable is an MC (mov-
ing coil) type cartridge. When connecting this turntable to your ampli-
fier. if the amplifier is equipped with an MCIMM selector switch. set
it at the MC position.

MC cartridges are designed to use lower output voltages than those found
with MM and IM cartridges. As a result, if this turntable is used on an
amplifier without an MC/MM selector, the sound level may be less then
that heard with other program sources (e.g. radio broadcasts and tape
playback). In addition, the full performance of the MC cartridge cannot
be delivered with such amplifiers. In this event, consult your dealer about
the use of an MC auxiliary voltage transformer or an MC head amplifier.

Operation

Starting record play

Place the record on the platter and proceed as follows:

1. Depress the POWER switch to supply power to the unit.

2. If the cartridge is equipped with a stylus cover, remove the cover.

3. Set the SIZE selector switch to 30 (cm) or 17 (cm), in accordance
with the size of record.

4. Set the SPEED selector switch to 33 (rpm), or 45 (rpm) in accordance
with the rated speed of the record you want to listen to.

5. Play begins with auto or manual operation.

Auto: Depress the START/STOP switch. The platter rotates, the tonearm
moves to the lead-' -In position and descends onto the record. and play
starts from track 1.

The START/STOP indicator winks while the tonearm is operating.

Manual: Depress the UPIDOWN switch to raise the tonearm. Hold the
headshell finger lift and move the tonearm across to the groove on
the record where play is to begin. The platter will now start to ro-
tate. When the UPIDOWN switch is depressed again. the tonearm
will descend gently onto the record and play will begin.

Stopping record play

When play is completed: When the tonearm reaches the lead-out groove
on the record, it automatically returns to the arm rest and the platter
stops rotating.

When play is suspended: Depress the START/STOP switch. The tonearm
returns to the arm rest and the platter stops rotating.

Repeat play

When the REPEAT switch is depressed for repeat play, the REPEAT in-

dicator lights and the record is automatically played repeatedly.

To release the repeat mode, either depress the REPEAT switch again

or repeat the START/STOP switch and stop play.

' During repeat operation. the tonearm will temporarily return to its
rest, and then once again move to the lead-in position to begin play.
