PREPARATION

Your unit is well protected against vibration or impact
during transportation The player assembly body and the
phono motor are firmly fixed by screws, and the
turntable, the cartridge and the counter-balance weight
are separately packed. Accordingly, make the following
preparations before assembling.

l. Loosen the screws clamping the player body, so that
the body floats" on the springs underneath. Remove
the screws clamping the phono motor with a screw-
driver or a coin. See Figure 2 for the locations of the
screws

2. Set the blank section of the center gear opposite the
turntable shaft by manually rotating the gear. Push the
trips of the gear inward as shown in Figure 2.

Never turn the gear and the turntable in the opposite
direction of normal rotation.

NOTE: Always clamp the player body and fasten the

phono motor with the screws when moving the
unit for considerable distance.

IMPORTANT: CHECKING VOLTAGE SELECTOR

With the use of the 4-pole hysteresis synchronous motor,
RP-IOOO maintains constancy of speed, unaffected by
fluctuations in load or in line voltage, RP»1000 is wired
for both 100 volts (usable 100 to 120 volts) and 220 volts

FOR ASSEMBLY

(usable 200 to 240 volts). Although the voltage has been
set to your area in our factory prior to shipment, make
sure of it by checking the position on the Power Voltage
Selector Switch (on the Player Assembly Body). If the
voltage setting somehow differs from your local power
source, simply switch to the proper position by using the
philipstype screwdriver (refer to Figure 1) to loosen the
placement latch.

NOTE: If the player is set for 110 volts 220 volts load
will burn the motor; if the player is set for 220
volts, 110 volts load will be insufficient for
proper motor operation.

TURNTABLE AND BELT

1. Find the Belt around the Drive Rim of the Turntable
(Drive Rim is on the backside of the Turntable). Wipe
clean- any dust and oil from the Belt, Also, make sure
there is no dust in the center hole of the Turntable
platter and on the surface of the Turntable to avoid
inclined setting of the platter.

2. Put the Turntable on the Player Assembly Body. Loop
the Belt around the Capstan and the Drive Rim,
making sure that the Belt passes through the center of
the belt guide. Make sure the Belt will be on the
narrowest part of the Capstan when the Speed Selector
Switch is on 33 1/3 r.p.m., and on the wide part when
45 r.p.m. See Figure 3 for looping the Belt.

3. Place the Rubber Mat with the smooth surface down
on the Turntable platter.
4. Place the Center Spin Plate on the Rubber Mat.
