TURNTABLE OPERATION
The HP-319 turntable can be used for either automatic or manual
playing. Preparation for either mode is the same. Before playing
records, be sure to remove any dust from the stylus with a soft
brush (stylus brush, artist's paint brush) and clean the disc with a
record cleaner.
Preparation
o
Release the Overarm by depressing it at its axis and moving it
toward the center. Then lift and turn it to the right.
f)
Leave the POWER switch set to either ON or OFF/AUTO OFF.
When you leave the turntable or think you might fall asleep during
play, move the POWER switch to OFF/AUTO OFF. The set auto-
matically turns off when play ends.
e
Depress the SPEAKER button "A" or "8", depending upon
speaker connection.
o
Keep the MODE button released (STEREO).
o Keep the MONITOR button released (SOURCE) and depress the
PHONO button.
o
Remove the stylus guard.
Automatic Operation
Up to five records of the same size and speed can be played auto-
matically as follows:
o Insert the long spindle (supplied) into the center hole of the turn-
table by rotating it until the side projection is engaged in the lock-
ing slot.
Ledge lever
NOTE: Make sure the spindle ledge lever
IS
not depressed when
you install the long spindle. Otherwise, the tonearm will descend
before the first record, and the stylus will be damaged.
For automatic play of 45-rpm records, place the BSR automatic
45-rpm adaptor PS-899 (optional) on the long spindle.
'.
f)
Set the Speed selector and Record-size selector to match the
records.
e
Stack up to five records on the spindle. While holding the rec-
ord stack with your left hand, move the Overarm to the center
with your right hand. The Overarm will drop onto the records and
hold them steady.
o Move the Operation lever to AUTO and hold It there momen-
tarily until the turntable starts. Then, gently let it return to START.
(In this case, the CUEing lever should be set to ~ .)
o
Adjust the sound level, stereo balance, and tone quality to your
taste. If desired, depress the LOUDNESS button.
o To reject a record during play, move the Operation lever to
AUTO and let it return to START. The next record will start play-
ing.
