Basic Operation; Turning The Power On; Putting The Unit Into Standby; Setting The Load Impedance - Teac PE-505 Mode D'emploi

Basic operation

Turning the power on

1
Minimize the volume of the amplifier.
If using a device that cannot have its volume adjusted when it
is off, minimize the volume after turning it on.
2
Set the STANDBY/ON switch on the unit to ON.
o If the indicator above the MEASURE button is lit, press the
MEASURE button to turn it off.
3
Play a record and adjust the volume on the
amplifier.
4
Use the EQ CURVE selection knob to select the
curve that sounds natural depending on the
record being played.

Putting the unit into standby

1
If a record is being played, stop playback.
2
Minimize the volume of the amplifier.
3
Set the STANDBY/ON switch on the unit to
STANDBY.
4
Turn the amplifier off.

Setting the load impedance

When using an MC cartridge
If the MC cartridge used has a recommended load resistance (load
impedance), set it to a value near that value. If not specified, select
the value that provides the best sound quality. The lower the load
resistance is, the lower the volume will be. Higher load resistances
will increase the volume.
A standard load resistance is 100 Ω.
o This load resistance does not refer to the internal resistance of
the cartridge (internal impedance, coil impedance).
o Select a load resistance that is high enough for the internal resis-
tance of the cartridge being used.
o Selecting a load resistance that is not large enough relative
to internal cartridge resistance will reduce sound volume and
increase noise.
When using an MM cartridge
If the MM cartridge used has a recommended load capacity, try set-
ting the knob to a position near that value. If not specified, select
the value that provides the best sound quality.

MC cartridge impedance measurement

Use a 1kHz sine wave to measure the impedance of the entire
path including the MC cartridge and the cable that connects the
analog turntable and this device. Set the unit to receive a load
impedance that is about twice the impedance determined from the
measurement.
1
Move the analog turntable tone arm away
from the record.
2
Press the MEASURE button and the indicator
will light.
o The meter will automatically switch to bright level.
3
Read the impedance from the lower indica-
tions on the meter.
ATTENTION
o MM cartridge impedance and load capacity cannot be measured.
o Do not measure impedance during record playback.
o Playback sound is not output during impedance measurement.
