Akai AP-D210/C

NOTES
1
. This turntable has been factory adjusted to accommo-
date the Model PC-85 cartridge, but any Moving Coil
(MC) or Moving Magnet (MM) type of cartridge can be
used. Adjustments should be made as outlined in this
Manual.
5. The life of the Stylus is much shorter than that of the
turntable. If the Stylus becomes worn, bent, or otherwise
damaged, it will damage the surface of the record. Re-
place such a Stylus immediately and avoid playing
scratched or damaged records.
6. Always avoid touching the surface of the record with the
fingers as this will leave marks. Clean the surface of the
record with Akai Cleaning Kit CK-200. Make sure that
the surface of the record is completely dry before playing
it.
7. Never attempt to stop the Platter from rotating, with your
hands.
8. Never interfere with the motion of the Tone Arm during
Auto-Return.
Should there be a problem with your machine, write down
the model and the serial numbers and all the pertinent data
regarding warranty coverage as well as a clear description
of the existing trouble and contact your nearest authorized
Akai Service Station or the Service Department of Akai Elec-
tric Co., Tokyo, Japan.
2. 4-CHANNEL STEREO: The turntable can also be used
for 4-channel stereo operation.
For SQ or Regular Matrix 4-channel operation, the unit
must be used with a 4-channel cartridge and Stylus. For
CD-4 System 4-channel, replace the existing cartridge
with a Stylus for CD-4 use. This is all that is needed to
provide CD-4 System 4-channel operation. After accom-
plishing this change, connect the turntable to a 4-
channel adapter.
3. The turntable uses a self-lubricating DC Servo Motor; no
additional lubrication is necessary.
4. The Stylus should always be kept clean and should be
checked prior to every use. The Stylus should always be
protected by its guard when not being used. Any dust,
lint, or other matter adhering to it can damage the record
and impair the quality of the sound. Always clean and
handle the Stylus gently without knocking or jarring it.
Use a soft clean brush to clean the Stylus.
