Instruction manual

OPERATION

Place a record on the platter (5) and push the mains switch (18) to the 'ON'

position. Remove the stylus guard and lift up the tonearm (9) with the arm

lift/cueing lever (7). Position the cartridge stylus tip above the initial groove of the

record. Gently lower the cueing lever (7) to lower the tonearm (9) onto the

record. Enjoy.

To stop play, lift the cueing lever (7) to raise the tonearm (9) and then move the

arm back to the tonearm rest (8). Push the mains switch (18) to 'OFF'.

To play 45 rpm records, first remove the felt mat and platter (5) then move the

drive belt (3) from the small diameter rim to the large diameter rim of the stepped

motor pulley (2). Do this using the belt-changing tool (17) to avoid touching the

belt with your hands. Replace the platter (5) and felt mat. Please note, for

singles (7-inch records with a large center hole), you will need to use the black

45rpm adaptor. Simply, center the adaptor over the spindle and set it on top of

the felt mat. Place the single on the platter and play.

MAINTENANCE

The ikura is designed for a long operational life. To preserve the appearance of

your deck and maintain its performance, you should note the following points:

* Make sure the stylus guard is on before you begin cleaning *

PLINTH - The plinth is constructed from medium density fiberboard, therefore it

should not be subjected to extremes of temperature or direct sunlight. The finish

may change slightly with age. A damp cloth or soft duster is ideal for cleaning the

plinth: polish, particularly wax-based, can be hard to remove.

PLATTER - The platter can be cleaned with a soft, dry, lint-free cloth.

MAT - Clean the felt mat with masking tape.

MOTOR - The motor is equipped with self-lubricating bearings. The motor pulley

should be cleaned periodically to remove deposits of rubber shed by the belt.

Remove the platter (5) and belt (3). Gently clean with a cotton swab or lint-free

cloth dampened with isopropyl alcohol.

BELT - The belt should last for many years. The belt can be cleaned at the same

time as the pulley. The best way to clean the belt is to pull it gently through a

damp cloth. If the turntable is not going to be used for a long period of time, it is

advisable to remove the belt from the platter rim to prevent stretching.
