Unpacking the turntable

1. Clear a work area, such as a dining table, in which to unpack the turntable.

2. Ensure the packaging is the right-way up.

3. Open the packaging carefully.

4. Lift out each item, identify it, and carefully place to one side.

• Top cover

• Base unit with tone-arm

• Turntable platter with belt

• Rubber mat

• Head-shell with cartridge

• Counterweight for the tone-arm

• Hinges x 2

• Cables x 3, comprising

USB cable (type-A – type-B)

Stereo phono plugs – Stereo phono plugs

Stereo phono sockets – 3.5mm stereo plug

• Mains power adaptor with EU and UK pin options

5. We recommend that all packaging is kept to allow the turntable to be safely transported in the future.

Assembling the turntable (part 1)

1. Unwrap the base unit, taking care not to put pressure on the tone-arm

or the cueing lever.

2. Do not assemble the platter onto the base just yet. There is

less chance of damage to the cartridge and stylus if the tone-arm is

assembledandbalancedrst.

3. Ensure that the tone-arm is locked on its rest with the securing clip.

4. Take the head-shell and identify the locating pin on the head-shell

connector. Do not remove the stylus cover at this time.

5. Align the locating pin on the head-shell connector with the slot in the

socket at the end of the tone-arm.

6. Gently push the head-shell into the tone-arm, at the same time rotate

the locking ring at the end of the tone-arm to pull the two parts together.

Note that the locking ring rotates anti-clockwise when viewed from the

front.

7. Tighten the locking ring gently by hand. Do not apply force or use any

tools.

8. Slide the counterweight on to the tone-arm, rotating it clockwise when

viewed from the rear until it engages and some slight resistance is

felt.

Note that the scale on the counterweight rotates freely. The

counterweight itself must be rotated in order to engage correctly with

the tone-arm.

Setting the tracking force

1. Set the anti-skating control to zero.

2. Raise the cueing lever.

3. Unclip the tone-arm from its securing clip so that it can move freely.

4. Take the head-shell and observe that it is currently unbalanced. At

this point the head-shell should drift upwards.

5. Rotate the counterweight so that it moves further onto the tone-arm.

6. Keep checking the balance by lowering the cueing lever to see whether

the tone-arm falls, rises or remains level. Take care when lowering the

tone-arm that the stylus does not come into contact with the turntable

base.

You should ignore the scale on the front of the counterweight at this

time.

7. Adjust the counterweight further by rotating the counterweight so that

it moves in or out until the tone-arm is balanced and remains level

when the cueing lever is lowered.

8. Carefully remove the stylus cover and adjust the counterweight again

until the tone-arm is balanced.

When removing the stylus cover, take care not to touch the stylus.

When balancing the tone-arm it is important to ensure that the stylus

never contacts the turntable platter, mat or turntable base.

Damage caused to the stylus by mishandling is not covered by the

guarantee.

9. When you have balanced the tone-arm, place it so that it is again secured

on its rest using the securing clip.

10. Carefully replace the stylus cover.

11. Keeping the counterweight in place, rotate the scale on the front of the

counterweight so that it reads zero.

12. We recommend that a tracking force of 3.0 grams is used for the supplied

cartridge. The tracking force should not exceed 4.0 grams.

The counterweight adjusts the tracking force by 3.0 grams for one complete

revolution. Therefore the scale on the counterweight will read zero when

the tone-arm is balanced and also when the tracking force is set to 3.0

grams.

13. Rotate the counterweight and scale together (clockwise, viewed from the

rear) so that the counterweight moves further towards the tone-arm pivot

and so that the scale then reads the desired tracking force.

Please see the photos to the right showing the counterweight setting

whenrstbalancedandthenaftersettingthetrackingforce.Notethatthe

counterweight is closer to the tone-arm pivot after setting the tracking force.

14. Adjust the anti-skating control next to the tone-arm pivot so that it also reads

3.0 grams. Note that this adjustment should normally be set to match the

chosen tracking force.

Note:Incorrecttrackingforcecanhaveasignicanteffecton the quality of

audio when playing records. If the tracking force is set too low or too high then

excessive wear to the stylus or damage to the surface of the record may be

caused.

Assembling the turntable (part 2)

1. Unpack the platter and identify the drive belt.

2. Place the platter on the spindle. Use one of the holes in the platter to

access the drive belt and place it over the pulley of the drive motor.

3. Slowly rotate the platter by hand to ensure that it moves freely and

that the belt is not twisted.

4. Place the rubber mat on the platter.

5. Fit the two hinges onto the top cover. Note that the hinges are sprung

and will tend to spring away from the cover.

6. Locate the other end of the hinges in the two sockets at the rear of

the turntable base.

7. Lower the cover into place over the platter and tone-arm.

Mains adaptor

1. Assemble either the UK or EU pins onto the mains power adaptor

to suit the mains sockets installed at your location.

2. Note that the rounded end of the pins section needs to engage

with the adaptor before the rectangular end.

3. It is important to check that the pins are fully secured to the

adaptor before it is used.

4. Plug the DC lead from the mains adaptor into the DC input socket

on the back of the turntable.

5. Plug the adaptor into a suitable mains socket.

The AC adaptor should be disconnected from the mains supply and

from the turntable when not in use.

IMPORTANT: The mains adaptor is used as the means of connecting

the product to the mains supply. The mains socket and any multi-way

mains block used for the product must remain accessible during

normal use. In order to disconnect the product from the mains, the

mains adaptor should be removed from the mains socket completely.

Use only the mains adaptor provided with the product, or a genuine

replacement provided by Roberts Radio. The use of alternative

adaptors will invalidate the guarantee.

6. Switch on at the mains socket and then switch on using the

Power On/Off switch next to the DC input socket.
