Preliminary operations
Unpack the unit and all accessories. Please keep the packaging for future use
when transporting the device.
Remove the two transport lockings 8 by pressing them sidewards (fig. 1). Fit
the platter and depress the locking mechanism in its center until it engages
in the groove of the platter spindle (fig. 2). Insert the hinges 2 in the
appropriate recesses (fig. 3).
Slide cover 1 parallel to the position of hinges 2 (opening angle
approximately 60°) until it locks in position. In this position, the cover can
be removed at any time.
Power supply
The delivered power supply will be connected to socket 16. The mains set,
corresponding to the voltage indicated on the nameplate has to be plugged into
a power-supply plug either with 230V/50 Hz or 115 V/60 Hz on the primary side.
Connection to amplifier or preamp
Connect the audio cables 14 to the phono-magnetic-inputs of the amplifier or
preamp (red or black RCA-type plug = right channel, white RCA-type plug = left
channel).
Connect Ground 15 to the ground connector of your amplifier or preamp.
Balancing the tonearm, setting tracking force and anti-skating
- Switch off antiskating 9
- Remove the stylus protection
- Turn the tonearm counterbalance 3 on the tonearm (fig. 4). Unlock the tonearm and move it over to the tonearm rest. Place the cue control lever 5 in position. Hold the tonearm whilst doing so.
- Balance the tonearm precisely by turning the counterbalance. The tonearm is balanced precisely when it pivots freely.
- Reposition the tonearm back on the tonearm support. Hold the tonearm counterweight 3 and rotate the front wheel with the scale to „0“ („0“ is located above the marking on the tubular tonearm section.) Now rotate the complete counterweight in a counterclockwise direction and set the required tracking force.
Set the appropriate value of the anti-skating device 9 on the basis of the following table:
| Tracking force 4 | Antiskating 9 |
|---|
1= 10 mN
1,25= 12,5 mN
1,5= 15 m
AT91 - > 2= 20 mN
2,5= 25 mN

Mounting or exchanging a cartridge system
Change of cartridge system
Remove the colored signal leads carefully from the cartridge pins with a pair
of tweezers.
Unscrew the cartridge.
Screw the new cartridge onto the headshell but do not tighten. Attach the
leads to the pins while observing the correct coding.
R = Red, right channel
RG = Green, right channel ground
L = White left channel
LG = Blue left channel ground
Instead of the factory-supplied pick-up cartridge, any other cartridge with
standard half-inch mounting holes and a weight between 3 and 10 grams can be
installed.
Adjusting after the change of pick-up cartridge system
For the precise adjustment of the so-called stylus, the overhang pushes the
supplied mounting gauge (Fig. 5) into the headshell with the cartridge. The
adjustment is correct if the stylus is flush with the V-shaped recess in the
gauge as viewed from above. When viewed from the side the stylus should be
seen within the rectangular recess of the gauge (Fig. 5). Adjust the cartridge
in the headshell until the correct positions are achieved. Lastly, tighten the
mounting screws.
ATTENTION!
During these mounting and adjustment procedures, you must be very careful not
to damage the delicate stylus, cables, and cantilever with any brisk
movements.
Automatic start, speed selection 33/45
The speed must be selected according to the record which is in place. If the
turntable speed is set to 33 or 45 rpm 6 the record size is automatically
selected for the automatic start.
Remove the stylus cover forwards for the pick-up stylus and move switch 10 to
Start. The pick-up arm automatically lowers onto the record.
Manual start, stop
The speed must be selected according to the record which is in place. Use
switch 6 to select a speed of 33 or 45 rpm.
Remove the stylus cover forwards and move lift lever 5 into position
Now position the tonearm over the lead-in groove of the record. The tonearm
can now lower slowly onto the record using the cueing lever 5 , thus
preventing damage to your records.
The tonearm can be raised at any position, also for brief interruptions when
playing, by using the cue control lever (cueing in position ). The platter
continues to rotate in this case.
At the end of the record, the tonearm is automatically repositioned back on
the tonearm post, and the unit is switched off.
— You can also switch off the turntable by setting switch 10 to Stop or
setting the cueing lever 5 to position and repositioning the tonearm on the
tonearm rest.
