Unpacking and setting up
Please also observe the information contained in the packing instructions.
After opening the box place aside the polystyrene insert with
the complete accessories. Remove the console with the inserted
record player from the box and put the unit in the place inten-
ded for it. First of all read the instructions slips on the unit
and then remove these afterwards with the packing films. We
recommend you keep the original packaging in case you need
this later on for further transport.
;
To release the transport locking screws (Fig. 1) turn-these in
clockwise direction until they slide down approximately 15 mm
and then tighten these by turning them further in clockwise
direction. In this way, the record player is spring mounted in
playing position (B).

Now place the platter directly onto the motor axis. Remove
the tonearm counterbalance
from the polystyrene insert and
place the stem of the counterbalance, after releasing the locking
screw (2), into the opening intended for this at the back end of
the tonearm. At the same time, the triangular recess on the stem
should point downwards (Fig. 5). Balancing as well as setting
of stylus pressure and anti-skating which is now necessary are
described in more detail on page 18.
Please refer to the separate data sheet for the stylus pressure of
the cartridge already inserted in the unit.
Now connect to the reproducing amplifier and place the mains
lead into the socket. Please pay attention to the separate infor-
mation in these instructions.
Subsequent transport
The platter lies on the motor axis of the electronic central drive
without additional
locking and must be removed before each
transport.
In addition, the transport locking screws must be
screwed loose in anti-clockwise direction, pulled upwards and
secured by further turning (A). The tonearm counterbalance
should be removed.
Make sure that the tonearm is locked and that the stylus pro-
tection is swivelled downwards.
If you intend to dispatch your unit, make sure that the packaging
is impeccable and, if possible, use the original packaging.
Note: After each transport, the unit should be started once with
the tonearm locked for the purpose of automatic adjustment
of the automatic shut off. Press the START button (12) for
automatic activation of the start function.
Connection to the AC mains
The unit can be connected to alternating current 50 or 6O Hz,
110 — 125 V or 220 — 240 V and is normally set to 230 V.
Your record player can be run on mains frequencies of 50 or
60 Hz without conversion of the motor.
Conversion of the mains voltage should always be carried out
by specialist dealers or authorized Dual service workshops.
Connection to the amplifier
Connect the cartridge lead equipped with RCA (cynch) plugs
to the phono-magnet input of the amplifier (black = right chan-
nel, white = left channel). Connect
the one wire equipped
with the cable bracket or screw it under the clamp marked
"GND" on the rear of the amplifier.

So that your receiver or reproducing amplifier be designed for
DIN. jacks, have your specialist dealer adapt this by replacing
the complete cartridge lead.
Cartridge lead with DIN jack 1.10 m long.
Order number 207 303.
Dual cartridge leads can also be equipped for plug-in into the
turntable.
;
Please do not forget to connect the chassis Sines of the right
hand (green) and left hand (blue) tonearm lines to the chassis
of the unit when converting this from cynch (RCA) to DIN
jacks.
Dust cover
In order to place the dust cover in position, turn the unit round
so that the special hinges are in front of you and are easily ac-
cessible. First of all make sure that the insert brackets on the
hinges, into which the cover will be placed, are in correct posi-
tion before you place the dust cover in position parallel to the
brackets and push this in fully.
In this position (opening angle approx. 60°) the cover can also
be removed at all times.
Should it be necessary to correct the balancing moment (elastic
force which
keeps the cover above the console), this can be
carried out by turning both knurled screws. Please adjust both
screws equally. In most cases, correction by half a screw turn
each will be sufficient.
Setting up and operation
The platter turns if the tonearm is lifted from the post and
placed onto the tonearm rest beside the tonearm post. In this
tonearm
position, the record placed onto the platter can be
cleaned of dust (e.g. with anti-static cloth etc.).
Please select the correct platter speed (33 1/3 or 45 rpm), un-
lock the tonearm and tilt the stylus protection upwards.
1. Automatic start
The unit's automatic setting down system is designed for 30cm
and 17 cm records (these are the only record sizes manufactured
nowadays) and is coupled to the switchover mechanism of the
platter speeds.
In the case of the platter speed 33 1/3 rpm, the tonearm sets
down on the run-in groove of 30 cm long play records; if the
45 rpm speed is selected, this sets down analogously
in the
run-in groove of 17 cm records (singles).
Press the START (12) button for activation of the start func-
tion. The tonearm moves over the record, lowers itself slowly
and carefully places the stylus into the run-in groove' of the re-
cord.
2. Manual operation
j
a) Place the control lever of the cueing control (7) in position ¥
or press the LIFT (11) button.
b) Manually replace the tonearm above the part of the record
you wish to hear.
'
c) Place the control lever in position Z by lightly pushing the
lever (7) or by pressing button (11).
Note
The cueing control is superior to the automatic start mechanism.
In the case of cueing control position ¥ and automatic start, the
tonearm moves into setting down position. The tonearm is then
lowered by moving the control lever or by pressing the LIFT
button.
At the same time, the lowering speed can be continuously varied
with the adjusting wheel (5) (Fig. 3):
<= slower
<< = faster
