Being in this position the dust cover may be removed at any time. Fig. 3 Electrical connections By choosing the appropriate THORENS mains transformer this record player can be operated from nearly all existing public mains supplies. The low-voltage plug on the cable that is coming from the mains transformer unit is to be inserted into jack 17 (Fig. 4) at the rear side of the record player. The stereo signal leads have two phono plugs which are also known as "Cinch" or RCA-plugs. They are marked with either the letter "L" for the left channel or "R" for the right channel. lf these letters are missing then most likely the right channel is marked red, perhaps by featuring a red plug at both ends, and the left channel is marked white or black accordingly. The adjustment is correct if the stylus is flush with the V-shaped recess in the gauge as viewed from above. When viewed from the side the stylus should be seen within the rectangular recess of the gauge (Fig. Adjust the cartridge in the head shell until the correct positions are achieved. Lastly, tighten the mounting screws, put the head shell with cartridge back on the tone arm and tighten the collar-lock (9). ATTENTION! During these mounting and adjustment procedures you must be very careful not to damage the delicate stylus and cantilever by uncontrolled and brisk movements. Fig. 8 R = red green white blue right channel right channel ground left channel left channel ground RG = Replacing the stylus Any stylus is subject to wear even under normal playing conditions. Therefore, it is highly recommended to have the cartridge, respectively its stylus, inspected after about 500 hours of playing. This is because a worn or damaged stylus will eventually damage your precious vinyl records!In order to playback vintage shellac records (78's) with optimal results the original stylus should be exchanged with a suitable special stylus for shellacs. Please consult your THORENS dealer for further information and details.
