Unpacking

material.

Setting up and preparing the device

• Place the device on an even and stable surface.

until you can remove them. Store them carefully.

• Place the rubber mat on the turntable so that the spindle on the turntable pokes through the

opening in the mat.

• Remove the protective cap from the pick-up system by pulling it downwards.

Connecting the device

Audio connection

The record player has an inbuilt preamplifier and can therefore be connected directly to the

Line In / Aux input on a hi-fi system.

• Connect the audio cable to the Line In / Aux input on your hi-fi system (red plug = right

channel; white plug = left channel).

USB port

You will find information on connecting the record player to a PC in the section "Converting

records to digital files".

Mains connection

• Connect the device by means of the mains plug to an easily accessible wall socket.

Repositioning the driving belt

Severe jolts (during transport, for example) may cause the record player’s driving belt to slip

off. To put it back into position, do as follows:

1. Remove the mains plug from the wall socket.

2. Take the rubber mat off the turntable.

3. Turn the turntable to the position illustrated.

4. Pull the driving belt out slightly and place it on the drive wheel as shown in the illustration.

Playing records

To achieve the best quality when playing or converting your records to digital files you should

observe the following information:

• Check the stylus regularly. You can brush off fluff and small bits of dirt with a soft brush,

brushing from the back to the front. For more stubborn dirt, add a little cleaning spirit to the

brush.

For information on how to change the stylus refer to "Changing the stylus".

Listening to a recording

• Click on the playback button to play back the

recording. The playback is controlled via the

buttons in the menu bar.

Editing an audio signal (optional)

When records are converted to digital files a certain amount of background noise

is also digitalised, e.g. the crackling and hiss of older records in particular. Auda-

city helps reduce these background noises.

Removing noise

1. Mark with the cursor an area in your recording in

which there is no music but only background

noise heard. Areas between the tracks of a long

playing record are especially suitable for this.

2. Select "Noise removal..." in the "Effect" menu. The "Noise Removal" window

appears.

3. Click on "Get noise profile". The window closes

and Audacity creates a noise profile with the

background noises that are to be removed.

EIn the "Effect" menu you will find a series of functions with which you can

edit your recordings. This allows you to change the volume ("Amplify"),

balance deviations in volume ("Normalize...") or fade recordings in or out

("Fade In" or "Fade Out"). You will find further information about the indi-

vidual effects in Help in Audacity or at http://audacity.sourceforge.net.
