AP360431 CA0858 USERS MANUAL ARTWORK.indd 3 15/05/2018 11:19 AM Due to stray magnetic fields, turntables or CRT TVs should not be located nearby due to possible interference. Electronic audio components have a running in period of around a week (if used several hours per day). This will allow the new components to settle down and the sonic properties will improve over this time. POWER SOURCES The unit should be operated only from the type of power source indicated on the marking label. If you are not sure of the type of power-supply to your home, consult your product dealer or local power company. If you do not intend to use this unit for a long period of time, unplug it from the mains socket. OVERLOADING Do not overload wall outlets or extension cords as this can result in a risk of fire or electric shock. Overloaded AC outlets, extension cords, frayed power cords, damaged or cracked wire insulation and broken plugs are dangerous. They may result in a shock or fire hazard. Be sure to insert each power cord securely. To prevent hum and noise, do not bundle the interconnect leads with the power cord or speaker leads. SERVICING These units are not user serviceable. Never attempt to repair, disassemble or reconstruct the unit if there seems to be a problem. A serious electric shock could result if this precautionary measure is ignored. In the event of a problem or failure, please contact your dealer. FCC STATEMENT This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules.

This part of the process requires care and patience This indicates that the tonearm is heavy and the counterweight should be adjusted accordingly. With the tonearm on the stylus force gauge, adjust the counterweight until the stylus force gauge is parallel to the surface of the platter. This indicates that the tonearm is too light and the counterweight should be adjusted accordingly.

The product will automatically switch to standby mode after inactivity of 20 minutes. DISABLING THE AUTO POWER D OWN If you wish to disable the APD function, then press and hold the standby button for 5 seconds when in standby. This can then be reset to factory defaults by plugging in the mains lead with the standby button held down. PL AYING RECORDS The record player is compatible with 33 1/3rpm and 45rpm records. Place the record over the spindle holding the record only by its outermost edge. Note: Before playing, it is a good idea to clean the record using an appropriate cleaning brush designed specifically for use with records. We particularly recommend the type with soft carbon fibre bristles which also reduce static charge on the record surface. Move the tonearm so that the stylus is over the start of the record and then switch the motor on. Now use the tonearm lift lever to lower the stylus onto the record. When finished, lift the stylus from the record using the tonearm lift lever before turning the motor off. Return the arm to the tonearm rest. Note: To prevent dust on the record, always return records to their sleeves. CHANGING REPL AY SPEED Turn on the unit. Press the appropriate speed button according to the record being played. Press the speed button again to stop the platter. MAINTENANCE AND CLE ANING 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 attract more dust. Antistatic cleaning fluids are available at specialist stores. It is recommended to fit the stylus cover before cleaning or maintenance is carried out to avoid damage. CARTRID GE REPL ACEMENT/ ADJUSTMENT The record player is supplied with a factory fitted and adjusted Cambridge Audio high output moving coil cartridge fully aligned and setup at the factory. The following instructions for adjusting the cartridge are provided in case the cartridge is replaced by a different model at a later date. Note: It is not necessary to adjust the factory fitted cartridge. The supplied cartridge has a lifespan of approximately 1000-2000 hours. CARTRID GE FITTING Only use a Moving Magnet (MM) or high output Moving Coil (MC) cartridge. All cartridges with half inch mounting holes can be fitted. Leaving the needle's protection cover on, fit the cartridge to the headshell using the screws supplied with the cartridge by passing one screw through each slot in the headshell. Do not tighten the nuts yet. Connect the tonearm wires to the cartridge pins as follows: White – Left channel positive (L+) Red – Right channel positive. (R+) Green – Right channel return (R –) Blue – Left channel return (L –) CARTRID GE ALIGNMENT Because a normal tonearm pivots about its bearing point as it traverses a record, the angle between the cartridge body and record groove will gradually vary as the record is played. The idea of cartridge alignment is to minimise this inherent error. A simple alignment protractor is included. Follow the instruction on the Alignment Protractor. Note: The record player is fully aligned at the factory for the supplied Cambridge Audio MC cartridge and does not require this adjustment to be made. CARTRID GE D OWNFORCE ADJUSTMENT Refer to the 'Assembly/setup' section of this manual. 10 AP360431 CA0858 USERS MANUAL ARTWORK.indd 10 15/05/2018 11:20 AM TT ENGLISH ALVA ANTI-SK ATING (BIAS) ADJUSTMENT The bias should be adjusted to match the tracking force. For the Cambridge Audio Moving Coil cartridge, the bias should be set to 2. See below diagram. BLUETO OTH This product is a Bluetooth transmitter only and transmits high definition Bluetooth audio. Supports SBC, Qualcomm® aptX™ and aptX™ HD audio codecs. Note: Do not pair this product with your portable devices such as smartphones or tablets, as these devices are also transmitters. BLUETO OTH PAIRING Note: Before pairing this product, It is highly recommended to only turn on the Bluetooth device you want to pair and activate its pairing mode. To start pairing with your Bluetooth device such as a pair of wireless Bluetooth headphones, press the Bluetooth paring button located on the rear of the unit for 2 seconds. Once successful, the Blue LED will stop flashing and will enter paired mode. Refer to your Bluetooth device for more information. BLUETO OTH LED STATUS Note: Please make sure that the LED switch is set to 'on' position. Slowly flashing – Searching for a paired device. Fast flashing – In pairing mode. Solid – Paired to a device using SBC codec. Long solid intervals – Paired to a device using aptX/aptX HD codec. REMOVING PAIRED DEVICES To clear all paired devices, press and hold the Bluetooth pairing button for approximately 20 seconds. Once successful, the Bluetooth LED will go off for approximately 3 seconds before reverting back to 'searching' mode. 11 AP360431 CA0858 USERS MANUAL ARTWORK.indd 11 15/05/2018 11:20 AM Technical specifications TURNTABLE GENERAL Type Direct Drive Power Supply Turntable Speeds 33 1/3, 45rpm Motor Torque 1.6kg/cm Power Consumption 5W Approx., 20W max, <0.5W (Standby) Wow & Flutter 0.06% Turntable Platter POM (Polyoxymethylene) Diameter 305mm 100-240V Dimensions (W x H x D) 435 x 138 x 370mm Weight 10 kg CARTRID GE Type High Output Moving Coil TONEARM Type One piece aluminium casting Frequency response +/- 1dB 30Hz-20kHz Stylus Elliptical Effective Length 238mm Cantilever Aluminium Overhang 17.2mm Output level 2mV @ 1kHz Effective mass 11g Tracking force 2g Recommended load 47kΩ INTERNAL PHONO STAGE Gain @ 1kHz 42dB Nominal output (with CA cartridge) 250mVrms Equivalent input noise (A-Weighted) 0.1uVrms RIAA Curve Accuracy +/-0.3dB 30Hz-20kHz Signal/Noise ratio (ref 1V out, 20-20K BW) >90dB THD+N 1kHz 0.0025% Input Impedance 47kΩ Input Capacitance 320pF OUTPUTS Audio Output RCA line level Bluetooth SBC/aptX/aptX HD 12 AP360431 CA0858 USERS MANUAL ARTWORK.indd 12 15/05/2018 11:20 AM TT ENGLISH ALVA Troubleshooting NO SIGNAL THROUGH ONE OR OTHER CHANNEL OR BOTH CHANNELS Possible Wiring fault.
