3. To adjust speeds depress and hold down the 33 and 45 buttons together for 8 to 10 seconds
the 33 LED will flash after this period indicating that the adjustment mode is engaged;
release both buttons. Press and release the 33 button to slow down or the 45 button to speed
up. The disc should be viewed in a fluorescent or neon light, The appropriate band will
synchronise and appear stationary when the speed is correct, whilst clockwise and reverse
movement will indicate fast or slow running respectively. This is best observed if the
tonearm, with cartridge fitted and in the raised position, is placed directly over the band
being viewed as a reference point. The adjustment method provides a microfine increment
for each press of the button, so a number of depressions will have to be made to make an
appreciable difference to the turntable speed. When the speed adjustment is completed
depress and hold down the 33 and 45 buttons together for 5 seconds, the 33 LED will stop
flashing and become constant and your speed setting will be stored in the system memory
for future use.
4. Repeat this process for the 45 and 78 speed ranges if required.
12. Operation (Turntable)
1. Connect the mains cable to the Nagra power supply.
2. Plug in the NAGRA Power Supply low voltage output, into the power socket at the rear of
the chassis. Place the record spindle washer on the spindle followed by the record and
clamp. The latter should be screwed down clockwise enough to deflect the record flat into
firm contact with the platter. With a fingertip tap the record in three places equally over its
surface and with a little practice it will soon become evident whether or not the record is
touching the platter. If not, some further tightening may be necessary but this is not always
the answer however and sometimes releasing the clamp a little may do more to effect the
desired improvement.
The foregoing clamping instructions assume vinyl records, for shellac 78’s the record
washer should not be used for risk of breaking the record.
3. The turntable is now ready for use. At this point packing and all other items no longer
required should be stored in the packing case so as to be available if needed in the future.
4. Switch on SYNERGY turntable power supply. The LED marked ‘power’ will light up.
Select the speed by pressing the button 33, 45 or 78, the LED appropriate will light up and
the turntable platter will rotate. The LOCK LED blinks momentarily until the speed
stabilises and then becomes constant indicating when selected speed is locked.
5. Depress the selected speed button again to stop rotation. The speed and LOCK LEDs will
go out.
6. Either of the other speeds may be selected at any time simply by pressing the desired speed
button. The LOCK LED will blink momentarily until the new speed stabilises and becomes
constant when that speed is locked.
