The PL-117D is a high precision fully automatic turntable designed to be incorporated into a com- ponent type stereo music system. lt is recom- mended that you read these Operating lnstructions completely before using the turntable. The PL-1 17D is prelubricated at the factory, but the oil may have dried up during shipment. Therefore apply a few drops of the accessory oil before use as described on page 11.

The full auto mechanism then proceeds to smoothly and effortlessly play the record. With the precision of a fine watch, the platter starts to rotate, the tonearm moves into position, and the stylus lowers itself slowly and gently onto the record surface. At the end of the record, the tonearm is raised, returned to the arm rest, and then platter drive and power are automatically cut off. Since there is virtually no manual handling of the tonearm, both records and stylus are protected from accidental damage. A repeat function is also included which can be employed to play the same side of the record repeatedly until it is disengaged by pressing the STOP button. Operate Manually When Desired Manual play can also be easily performed by simply positioning the tonearm over the desired portion of the record manually. Platter rotation begins automatically and the tonearm can then be lowered onto the record by operating the arm elevation lever. At the end of the record, the tonearm becomes automatically raised and returned to the arm rest. The simple act of playing a record has become even simpler, letting you enjoy the full richness of recorded music while safeguarding your listening room library. Precision Belt Drive with 4-pole Synchronous Motor Stable rotation of the 30cm diecast aluminum alloy platter is maintained by the carefully engineered 4-pole synchronous motor and belt drive system. The smooth running of the motor is unaffected by fluctuations in line voltage and load, while even the slightest vibrations from the motor are absorbed by the poly- urethane belt. High performance is exemplified try the 0.07% (WRMS) wow and flutter, and 50dB (J lS) signal to noise ratio. High Sensitivity S-shaped Tonearm The tonearm gimbal incorporates high precision angular contact bearings, whose low vibration and friction ensure high sensitivity together with long term reliability. Anti-skating and lateral balance controls are included for optimum performance with high com- pliance cartridges and light tracking forces, and the direct readout of the tracking force is especially convenient when replacing the carlridge. Numerous Additional Features A host of additional features enhance the convenience and per- formance of the PL-l l7D. Among these are a lightweight, high rigidity aluminum headshell, low capacitance output cord, and an oil-damped tonearm elevation mechanism to protect valuable records and stylus. The interior of the cabinet is lined with aluminum foil to screen out external electrical noise which is often picked up from other household appliances, while motor and external vibrations are also isolated by the double suspension design.

ATTACHING THE CARTRIDGE Moving magnet (MM), moving coil (MC) and induced magnet (IM) are the main cartridge types. Although all of these can be used .with the PL-117D, select cartridges with weights between 4 and 10 grams. Refer to the cartridge operating instructions for connection and handling. Since the tonearm of the PL-117D is a universal type. your optional cartridge with standard type headshell can be attached without difficulty. Install the cartridge to the headshell according to the following steps. 1. When attaching the cartridge to the accessory headshell, use the headshell, screwdriver, over- hang gauge, screws, nuts and washers supplied in the accessory box (Fig. a). 2. Connect headshell lead wires to the cartridge. Observe lead wire color coding as follows. White L (left channel) Blue LG (left channel ground) Red R (right channel) Green RG (right channel ground) 3. Fit cartridge to headshell (Fig. 1), but do not tighten the mounting screws yet. 4. Set the headshell into the accessory overhang gauge as shown in Fig. 2. Adjust the cartridge position so that the stylus tip is aligned with the gauge line. Finally, tighten the cartridge mount- ing screws. 5. Install headshell on tonearm according to Fig. 8 on the following page. If your cartridge weighs over 8.5g, insert the sub weight into the end of the tonearm shaft. Refer to Fig. 3.
