Technics QUARTZ SL-7 - How to Operate

@ Place the unit in a stable position where there is flitle or no
vibration.
B® Locate the unit as far away from the speakers as possible and
isolate the unit from sound radiation from them.
H@ Do not use or store this unit where it will be exposed to dust,
dirt, high humidity or high temperature, Do not place it near
heaters,
Do not place it near or on top of a power amplifier, since
power amps radiate much heat.
™@ Do not use under direct sunlight, spotlights, or other
extremely bright light sources.
Bright lights may cause misoperation of the optical sensor
system and therefore interference with automatic operation.
This also applies to flashlights or infrared remote control
units brought very close to the turntable.
@ Place the turntable away from the power amp to prevent
hum.
Hum may be caused by leakage flux from the transformer
in the power amplifier (or integrated amp). Therefore, if you
notice hum, try moving the turntable to a slightly different
tocation, further away from the amp.
ll Keep it in a well ventilated place.
@ When a radio is placed too close to the turntable and is
played while the turntable is in operation, interference to
AM/FM reception may result.
Ml We do not recommend operating this unit while driving an
aytomobile.
