1. To Set-Up Your Spindeck

Fit the Lid

Fit the lid (dust cover) carefully over the hinge prongs (pg.5, #10). The hinge tension is

pre-adjusted, however if the tension changes over time you may adjust the screws until

the lid stays open where you want it to without being too stiff to open or close.

Remove the Stylus Protection Cover

Carefully remove the clear plastic stylus protection cover by gently pulling it straight off

the front of the stylus. Save it for later use if Spindeck must be moved or shipped. Take

care to not pull the stylus out in the process.

Connect it to Power

The turntable is supplied with a power adapter. Plug the power adapter into the DC

power jack at the rear of Spindeck first, then plug the adapter into your AC power.

Turn it On

Use the power switch on the left side of the plinth (pg.5, #1) to start and stop the motor.

To Change Playing Speed

For 33RPM operation, place the belt on the upper (smaller) section of the motor pulley.

(pg.5, #2)

For 45RPM operation, use the lower (larger) section of the pulley.

Always switch the motor OFF before changing the belt position.

Cartridge Tracking Force Adjustment

There is no need to make any adjustments to the tonearm when using the supplied

Ortofon OM5e cartridge. The counterweight is pre-set perfectly from the factory.

If you switch to another make or model cartridge, or if your counterweight is moved,

you will have to reset the tonearm. The counterweight (pg.5, #8) supplied is suitable for

cartridges weighing between 3 - 7g.

If you change your cartridge, please read Installing a New Cartridge on page 12.

Maintenance and Cleaning

Your record player requires little or no regular maintenance. Remove dust with a slightly

moistened antistatic cloth. Never use a dry cloth because this will create static electricity

which will attract more dust! Antistatic cleaning fluids are available at specialist stores

but must be applied sparingly to avoid damage to rubber parts. To avoid damage it is

recommended to fit the stylus cover before cleaning or maintenance is carried out.

If the player is not used over a long period of time, the drive belt should be removed to

prevent unequal stretching.
