Blue (L-)| left, minus terminal
Red (R+)| right, plus terminal
Green (R-)| right, minus terminal

d) Tighten the fastening screws to the headshell.

Connect the Audio Output Cable -19- to the audio input of your mixer and connect the GND Grounding Cable -20- to the grounding screw of
your mixer.
Connect the mains line to the Mains Connection -21- and an outlet.

OPERATION

Balancing Weight
Bring the Pick-Up Arm Lift -15- into the „DOWN“ position. Guide the Pick-Up Arm -13- just in front of the Turntable -1-. Adjust the Balancing Weight -18- by turning it clockwise as such that the Pick-Up Arm does not lean up nor down, i.e. it should be balanced parallel to the record. Then return the Pick- Up Arm to its rest -14-. Set the Balancing Scale -17- of the Balancing Weight as such that the „0“ position is above the marked line. Continue turning the Balancing Weight clockwise until the scale indicates the
the value which corresponds to the recommended stylus force of the pick-up system.
Anti-Skating Wheel
Adjust the Anti-Skating Wheel -16- as such that the value of the stylus force corresponds to the stylus force of the pick-up system.
Power ON
After carrying out all connections, turn the device on via the ON/OFF Switch -4-; the turntable‘s illumination will go on.
Play
Place a record onto the slipmat on the Turntable -1-. Use the 33/45/78 Selectors -6- to set the correct speed. The LED of the respective selector illuminates.
NOTE!! To activate 78 RPM, press both 33/45 Selectors simultaneously. Both LEDs will illuminate.
Activate the Reverse Switch -8- to let the turntable run counter-clockwise; the LED flashes.
NOTE! Even in reverse mode, all functions of the RP-4000 MK2 remain available.
Activate the Reverse Switch again to set the turntable back to regular clockwise mode; the LED remains lit permanently.
Activate the START/STOP Button -5-. Remove the headshell with the Pick-Up System -12-. Now bring the Pick-Up Lift -15- into the “UP” position and move the Pick-Up Arm -13- just above the desired position of the record. Then bring the Pick-Up Lift “Down”, so that the Pick-Up Arm lowers into the vinyl groove.
NOTE! It is possible to leave the Pick-Up Lift permanently in a “Down” position and to lower the Pick-Up Arm manually onto the desired position.
When doing so, be sure not to damage the stylus of the Pick-Up System.
Stylus Illumination
Use Switch –7- to activate the stylus illumination, if required, to be able to see the groove of the vinyl more clearly. Deactivate the stylus illumination by pressing the lamp down
until it locks into place.
RPM Fine-Tuning
Use the Pitch Fader -11- to steplessly adjust the speed of the record. Use the Pitch Selector -9- for a pitch range of +/- 8% (LED permanently on) and +/-16 % (LED flashes). If you wish to play the record at the original speed, bring the Pitch Fader in position „+/- 0%“. Deactivate RPM fine-tuning by operating the Quartz Lock -10-. By pressing again, RPM fine-tuning will be reactivated: The turntable returns to the RPM set with the Pitch Fader.
