Dual 1218 - Unpacking and Initial Setup; Unpacking the Turntable; Chassis Installation

Dear record lover,
Please read these instructions carefully before
you set up and operate your new automatic
turntable. By doing so, you will avoid faulty
operation or possible damage due to mistakes
in installation.
Fold out page 2.
Unpacking
Remove all parts used for packing, including
the wedges between the chassis and the
turntable, Notice whether a cartridge is fitted
in the tonearm head and remove the protective
cap from the stylus,
Instructions for fitting the cartridge as well
as technical data on factory-fitted cartridges
are found on a separate sheet enclosed with
this instruction manual, Set stylus pressure
dial to O. If the tonearm does not float
freely in a horizontal position, adjust balance
as described on page 10. Now set st¥lus
pressure to that recommended for your car-
tridge.
Note: after each installation and after each
transport of the Dual, it should be started
once with its tonearm locked. Just move
the operating switch to “start”. This is
to ensure that the shut-off mechanism will
bein the correct position.
Installation
These instructions apply only if you have pur
chased the turntable as a separate component
If your system requires a preamplifier, make
the necessary connections to this unit.
The following instructions are extremely sim-
ple
Press the chassis mounting screws toward
the edge of the chassis with your thumbs
and set the chassis down on the base cut
out so that the three spring cups slip into
their holes, Then turn the mounting screws
screws clockwise. The chassis is now spring-
mounted ,
To secure the unit for transport, unscrew
the mounting screws, pull them up, then
turn them further until the chassis is se-
cured tightly to the mounting board. To
prepare the automatic turntable for use again,
turn the two screws clockwise until they
slide down about 3/4", then continue to
turn in the same direction until they are
tight.
Connection to power line
For units already installed in console or com-
pact systems, consult the instructions for the
system
The unit can be operated from alternating
current at 50 or 60 Hz, 110-125 or 220-240
volts, It is normally supplied ready for use on
220 volt, 50 Hz current.

If a different voltage supply and/or frequency
becomes necessary please consult your dealer
or an authorized Dual Service Station,
To change over the voltage, remove the power
switch cover.
Changeover is carried out according to model
by switching over or reconnecting the motor
supply leads using the connection diagram in
the power switch cover, .

The power switch is designed to accommodate
preamplifiers or power amplifiers so that they
will be switched on and off with the turn-
table,
The load on the power switch must not
exceed 400 VA (Volt-amperes). It is gener-
ally used only with all-transistor amplifiers,
which have no warm-up delay.
The connection is made for contacts pro-
vided on the plug portion of the power
switch.
It this case, the line cord is to be fitted
with AMP plugs as follows
B. No. 213 982; AMP-No. 160 565/1 (Fig. 2)
for 5-pole power supply plug
B. No, 209 458; AMP-No. 42 859/1 (Fig. 3)
for 4-pole power supply plug
Connection to amplifier
In combination units, p. ex. hifi stereograms,
the connection of the turntable to the amplifier
already is done,
The player can be fitted with miniature con-
nectors to DIN 41 524 (Fig. 4) or with
RCA-type phono plugs (Fig. 5).

Preamplifier
An equalizer-preamplifier is necessary if your
stereo amplifier or receiver does not have a
direct input for a magnetic cartridge. We
recommend the equalizer-preamplifier Dual
TVV 47, which has plug-in connections and
fits into the base of the player unit.
This player meets international safety stand-
ards for radio and realted equipment (IEC 65)
and is approved by the various national
safety organizations (VDE, SEV, SEMKO, CSA,
UL, etc.).
