9. Setting Up
1.Unpack the drive belt and place it over the driven pulley. Press it down as far as the flange,
ensuring that it is free from twists, then stretch it over the motor pulley.
2.Examine the face of the driven pulley and the underside of the platter to ensure that both
mating surfaces are clean, place the platter squarely over the turntable spindle lowering it
gently until it rests on the driven pulley. Rotate the platter slowly by hand to position the
belt on the pulleys. WARNING: The unique Isodamp damping material with which the
platter is faced, has been diamond turned and scrolled for intimate contact with the
record. Avoid handling or anything that might mar the surface, as like the record
itself, it could be easily damaged.
3.If desired the turntable can be levelled by rotating the appropriate supporting foot. If the
base is lifted slightly at the same time the foot will turn more readily. Check the adjustment
with a precision spirit level placed on the platter.
4.Unpack the Synergy power supply unit, the mains voltage setting is indicated on the back
panel. Before fitting the power cord check carefully that this matches your mains voltage.
5. The power cord has a standard moulded mains plug. In the event that it must be replaced
the original plug should be cut off and disposed of responsibly.
WARNING! To meet international safety standards the power supply unit is earthed
through the yellow/green wire of the power cord and particular care must be taken to
ensure that this is connected so as to maintain effective earthing should the original
mains plug be changed.
6. Connect the low voltage output cable from the power supply unit by inserting the mini-DIN
plug into the socket at the rear of the base. Take care to see that it is pushed fully home.
Connect earth wire from PSU to the motor earth stud. An on-off switch is situated on the
back of the power supply unit.
7. The supplied audio leads should now be connected from Synergy to your amplifier. One
end of each cable is fitted with earthing wires, this end should be connected to the amplifier
corresponding red and white ‘phono’ inputs. The other end of each cable should be
connected to the corresponding right and left RCA output sockets on Synergy, see picture
on Page 9. A separate earth link wire is also provided and this should be connected to the
Synergy chassis/system earth and together with the two phono earths to the earthing point
on your amplifier.
NOTE:
In some systems connection of the separate earth wire could cause unwanted ‘earth hum’.
If this is experienced it is safe to not use the earth wire and it’s removal should improve any
production of unwanted system noise or ‘hum’.
