• Ekki loka neinum loftræstiopum. Setjið upp í samræmi við leiðbeiningar framleiðanda.
• Ekki setja upp nálægt neinum hitagjöfum eins og ofnum, hitatöflum, ofnum eða öðrum tækjum (þ. amplyftara) sem framleiða hita.
• Verndaðu rafmagnssnúruna frá því að ganga á hana eða klípa hana, sérstaklega við innstungur, snyrtivörur og þar sem hún fer úr tækinu.

Uppsetningarleiðbeiningar

1. Staðsetning

Place the turntable on a stable, level surface away from direct sunlight, heat sources, and strong vibrations. Ensure there is enough space around the unit for ventilation and operation.

2. Uppsetning á diski og belti

1. Carefully place the metal platter onto the spindle.
2. Locate the drive belt. Gently stretch the belt around the inner rim of the platter and hook it onto the motor pulley. Ensure the belt is not twisted.

3. Uppsetning á hylki og tónarmi

The Audio Technica AT3600 cartridge comes pre-mounted on the tonearm. Follow these steps to balance the tonearm and set the tracking force:

1. Fjarlægðu pennaverndarhlífina af blekhylkinu.
2. Gently release the tonearm from its rest.
3. Rotate the counterweight at the rear of the tonearm until the tonearm floats freely and is perfectly balanced horizontally.
4. Once balanced, hold the counterweight steady and rotate the numbered ring on the front of the counterweight to "0".
5. Rotate the entire counterweight (including the numbered ring) counter-clockwise until the desired tracking force is set. For the AT3600 cartridge, the recommended tracking force is typically 3.5 grams.

4. Aðlögun gegn skautavörn

Attach the anti-skate weight to the small loop on the tonearm and hang it over the second groove of the anti-skate support rod. This helps prevent the stylus from skipping inwards.

5. Connecting to Audio System

The TT MK2 features a built-in phono pre-amplifier, allowing direct connection to powered speakers or an amplifier's line-level input. If your amplifier has a dedicated "Phono" input, you can bypass the internal pre-amp.

1. Connect the supplied RCA cable from the "RCA OUT" jacks on the rear of the turntable to the corresponding input on your amplifier or powered speakers (e.g., "AUX", "LINE IN").
2. Locate the "RIAA" switch on the rear of the turntable.
   • Set the switch to "ON" if connecting to a line-level input (e.g., AUX, CD) on your amplifier or directly to powered speakers. This activates the internal phono pre-amplíflegri.
   • Set the switch to "OFF" if connecting to a dedicated "Phono" input on your amplifier. This bypasses the internal phono pre-amplifier, as your amplifier will provide the necessary RIAA equalization.

6. Rafmagnstenging

Connect the supplied power adapter to the "DC IN 12V" port on the rear of the turntable, then plug the adapter into a wall outlet.
