Set-Up Procedure
■ *©f
Unpacking the Unit
Remove the unit from the bottom styrofoam filler by grasping the
unit plate at the points indicated on the top cardboard packing
piece. DO NOT lift the unit by grasping the tonearm. Whenever
possible, the packing material should be retained in the event re¬
shipment is necessary. In any event, do not discard the packing
material until all of the accessories described below are accounted
for.
The top styrofoam filler contains the following:
1. A short manual spindle for playing single records.
2. A long automatic spindle for playing up to six records automatic¬
ally.
3. Tonearm counterbalance weight.
4. A manual 45 rpm adaptor for playing large hole records, one at a
time.
5. Cartridge mounting hardware; this contains the various screws
that are needed for mounting the cartridge in the pickup head.
6. A combination gauge for setting stylus overhang and paralleling
the stylus.
7. Transit wing nuts (2).
8. Extra lock nut.
9. Pick-up head.
10. S crewdriver
A small cardboard packing piece is installed in the right-hand
pivot of the tonearm gimbal. MAKE CERTAIN THIS IS REMOVED, or
the unit will not perform properly. Also, make certain that all rubber
bands securing the line cord, audio cables, the tonearm tie, etc.,
are removed along with all other packing pieces.
Packing pieces are installed between the unit plate and turntable.
They must also be removed and, if possible, should be retained as
they are a very important part of the packing if the unit is ever
shipped.
The audio cable is packed in a wedge on the right side of the unit.
Installing the Unit on the Base
Both the B-20 Base and WB-20 Base are supplied with a bottom
safety cover which eliminates any possibility of mechanical, hazard.
Comprehensive installation instructions are included with each base.
Prior to mounting upon a base, the audio cable must be installed on
your BTC unit as per page 8 of this booklet.
PROPER INSTALLATION IS EXTREMELY IMPORTANT. DO NOT
INSTALL THIS UNIT ON ANY DEVICE OTHER THAN THE OFFICIAL
B-20 OR WB-20 BASES.
