7. The SYNERGY is not equipped with a lid as this could cause and pick up acoustic feedback.

13. Operation (Tonearm)
1. With the control lever in the raised position move the tonearm out of the armrest and
position the arm so that the stylus is over the selected record groove.
2. To lower the stylus onto the record move the control lever forward until it is just past top
dead centre. This will set the lowering control in motion, at which point it will take over
the movement of the lever, giving a smooth controlled descent.
Note: For the correct descent time the control must be operated exactly as above. The speed
will be increased considerably if the lever is pushed down instead of being allowed to fall
of its own accord.
3. To raise the stylus from the record slowly move the control lever back to its original
position. When the arm is not in use it should always be returned to the armrest for safety.
4. For further information on the Synergy tonearm please refer to the supplied SME Series IV
Owners Manual.
14. Maintenance (Turntable)
1. There are no critical adjustments or need for ‘tweak’ and only very little maintenance. Clean
the drive belt occasionally by drawing it through a piece of soft linen moistened with lighter
fuel. The same material may be used to clean the periphery of the motor and driven pulleys.
2. Replace the drive belt after 1000 hours or two years. A replacement drive belt part number
1100 is available from SME Limited.
3. Having sintered bronze bearings the motor requires minimal lubrication. One drop of oil
only in one year is sufficient and must not be exceeded.
4. Remove the platter and drive belt. Apply one drop of 1287 lubricating oil from the syringe
at the point indicated on top of the motor. Choose a time when the turntable will not be used
for some hours so that the oil can find its way down to the lower bearing. After this time
check that there is no oil on the motor pulley and replace the drive belt and platter.
5. Clean the Synergy only with a Microfiber or lint free clean cloth, lightly dampened with
luke warm water and if necessary one drop of washing up liquid. Take care not to touch the
special platter surface which should only be wiped gently with the afore mentioned dry
cleaning cloth.
6. There are no user-serviceable parts inside the turntable or power supply units. A 500 mill
amp fuse is located below the mains socket, its replacement should only be undertaken by
qualified service personnel.
