GETTING STARTED Thank you for purchasing the music hall mmf-7.1 turntable. The music hall mmf-7.1 turntable is 2-speed belt-driven, audiophile quality turntable with many unique features. It is constructed using a split-plinth design and features an external motor. The mmf-7.1 comes in a high gloss, black piano lacquer finish. THE SPLIT-PLINTH. The plinth has three adjustable spiked feet and comes with a set of small discs (cups). The discs prevent marking of the surface of the supporting shelf.
FOR YOUR INFORMATION This manual provides valuable information that will help you get optimum performance from your system. Please contact your authorized music hall dealer for any additional clarifications you may require. Save the music hall mmf-7.1 shipping carton and all enclosed packing material for future use. Shipping or moving the mmf-7.1 in anything other than the original packing material may result in severe damage that is not covered by the warranty.
SET-UP The music hall mmf-7.1 is supplied partially disassembled and carefully packaged for safe transport. To assemble the turntable, please follow the instructions carefully. 1. Clear a level (use a spirit level) and suitable workspace to assemble the turntable. This may be the final playing location. 2. Remove and put on white cotton gloves (in large plastic bag) 3. Remove the turntable and all parts from the carton.
13. Place the counterweight (6) onto the tonearm. To do this, position yourself in front of the turntable. Hold the counterweight so that the numbers are nearer you. Carefully, screw the counterweight counterclockwise onto the back of the tonearm. 14. Remove the tonearm-locking strap (18). Place it in a safe position for possible future transport. 15. Make sure the tonearm is in the tonearm rest (8). Carefully, remove the stylus guard (the piece of clear plastic on the bottom of the cartridge).
The tonearm is now zeroed. Check it, by once again floating the tonearm between the tonearm rest and the platter. If the tonearm doesn’t float parallel to the platter at zero, return to the previous steps and make the necessary adjustments. Return the tonearm to the tonearm rest. IMPORTANT Do not touch the tracking force scale again. Turn the counterweight counterclockwise with your right hand. You will notice that the tracking force scale will also turn.
NOTE If you are substituting another cartridge for the Goldring Eroica, you may need to make the following further adjustments to the tonearm (9) and cartridge: If you are a novice, music hall recommends getting professional help. All cartridges with half inch mounting holes can be fitted. Leaving the stylus guard on, fit the cartridge to the head shell (21) using the screws supplied with the cartridge by passing one screw through each slot in the finger lift and the head shell (21). Snug the nuts.
If you have any further questions regarding the adjustment of your turntable, please contact your music hall dealer. Azimuth Adjustment: Azimuth is the angle of the stylus to the record groove. Viewed from head-on, you want the stylus to be perpendicular to the record groove so as to not favor one channel over the other. Keep in mind that azimuth is properly set at the factory and rarely needs to be adjusted. You can check the azimuth by performing a visual inspection.
MAINS CONNECTION Locate the wall transformer. It’s in a small white box set into the underside of the packing foam. Plug the small male end of the wall transformer wire into the female receptacle on the power socket for the motor. The power socket for the motor is located on the underside of the turntable near the back. Plug the transformer into the wall. Turn the motor ‘ON’ (20) and check that the platter (5) spins. OPERATION Place a record on the platter and screw on the record clamp (found in parts bag).
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. OIL - The oil supplied for the main bearing provides life-long protection.
