ASSEMBLy & CONNECTIONS
1. Connect the Turntable -1- to the motor. To do so, put the turntable above the Hub -2-.
2. Put the included slipmat above the Hub -2- on the turntable.
3. Connect the Counterweight -22- to the Tone Arm -15-.
NOTE! The counterweight Scale -21- must face the DJ.
4. Screw the Headshell -14- into the Tone Arm -15- after mounting your cartridge to the headshell as described in the following:
5. Insert the stylus illumination in the intended socket -6-.
6. Connect the Audio Output Cable -23- to the audio inputs of your mixer. It is not necessary to ground the turntable.
7. Connect the mains cable to the corresponding connection -26- and a power outlet.
OPERATION
1. Counterweight
Lower the Tone Arm Lift -18- to "down" position. Guide the Tone Arm -15- almost in front of the Turntable -1-. Adjust the Balancing Weight -22- by
turning it clockwise as such that the Tone Arm does not lean up nor down, i.e. it should be balanced parallel to the record. Then return the Tone
Arm to its support -17-. Set the Balancing Scale -21- of the Balancing Weight as such that the „0" position is above the marked line. Continue tur-
ning the Balancing Weight clockwise until the scale indicates the value which corresponds to the recommended stylus force of the pick-up system.
2. Anti-Skating Wheel
This applies inward force to the tone arm so it doesn't skip outward across the record due to the centrifugal force of the record spinning. Cartridge
manufacturers usually specify the proper setting of this.
3. Tone Arm Height
You can adjust the tone arm's height, if the cartridge you use necessitates this: First release the Tone Arm Ring Locking Mechanism -20- from the
"LOCK" position. Now you can raise the tone arm via the Tone Arm Ring -16- in the scale's range by up to 6 millimeters (0 millimeters = default
setting). Move the Tone Arm Ring Locking Mechanism back to "LOCK" position after the tone arm has been set to the desired height.
ATTENTION! The tone arm must not exceed the maximum height of 6 millimeters as otherwise damage to the tone arm socket cannot be
excluded. Observe the tone arm ring's marking by all means!
4. Power On
After carrying out all connections turn on the device via the ON/OFF Button -3-. The integrated turntable illumination and stylus illumination -6-
will be activated.
5. Playback
Put a record on the slipmat on the turntable -1-. Select the right speed via the 33/45/78 Switch -5-. The LED of the corresponding switch will go on.
NOTE! In order to select 78 RPM, press both 33 and 45 switches -5- simultaneously. Both LEDs will go on.
Press one of the two Start/Stop Buttons -4-. Remove the needle protection from the cartridge. Bring the Tone Arm Lift -18- to the "Up" position
and move the Tone Arm -15- above the point you wish to play. Put the Tone Arm Lift down so that it lowers itself onto the record's groove.
NOTE! It is possible to leave the Tone Arm Lift permanently in "Down" position and to lower the Tone Arm manually onto the desired position.
When doing so, be sure not to damage the stylus of the Pick-Up System.
By pressing the Reverse Switch -9- the turntable will move counterclockwise; the LED will be lit. All functions of the RP-7000 remain available. By
pressing the button again, the turntable will move clockwise again; the LED will go out.
6. Stylus Illumination
The Stylus Illumiantion -6- will be activated automatically when turning on the power. You can freely move the lamp by 360°.
NOTE! If you do not wish to use the stylus illumiantion, just pull out the stylus illumiantion from the socket.
7. Pitch Fine Adjustment
Via the Pitch Fader -13- you can steplessly adjust the record's pitch. Via the Pitch Range Buttton -10- you can choose between a pitch range of +/-
8% and +/-16%. The respective LED will be lit.
NOTE! In order to select a pitch range of 50%, press both pitch range select switches simultaneously; both LEDs will be lit.
If you want to play a record at its original pitch, bring the pitch fader to the "+/-0%" position. By using the Quartz Lock Switch -11- you can deacti-
vate the pitch fine adjustment, the LED will go on. By pressing again the fine adjustment will be re-activated: the turntable returns to the speed set
via the pitch fader and the LED will go out. The Quartz Lock LED -12- will be lit when in original pitch and when pitch fine adjustment is deactivated;
when the pitch differs, it will go out.
