INTRODUCTION The RP6 has been designed and engineered to achieve outstanding performance way beyond the expectations of a product at this price point. Excellent build quality, reliability and ease of use combine to make a product which, if used correctly, will offer you a lifetime of musical enjoyment. Omitting unnecessary gimmicks allows us to concentrate the manufacturing costs on the high quality parts necessary to reproduce music accurately.
DESIGN INNOVATION DB TECHNOLOGY (DOUBLE BRACE TECHNOLOGY) “Mass absorbs energy - lost energy equals lost music”! Rega has pioneered the use of lightweight rigid plinths. Clever use of lightweight particulate core with a highly rigid phenolic resin skin became the foundations of the high level of performance achieved by the now iconic Planar turntable range. The latest generation of Rega turntables takes this design philosophy to the next level.
HUB The aluminium top sub platter is manufactured to the highest tolerance and uses a six point mounting system to ensure the platter and vinyl is presented as flat as possible to the stylus. MOTOR The motor is a high specification, 24V twin phase synchronous unit which has the anti vibration circuit hand tuned to each motor and is controlled by Rega's unique and innovative TTPSU power supply.
INTERCONNECTS We have used the highest quality, purpose designed high current power connectors. The phono plugs and interconnect cable are low noise, wide bandwidth genuine professional products and are the best available for the job. Do not attempt to fit any other wires or cables. INSTALLATION SETTING UP YOUR RB303 TONEARM With the cartridge mounted correctly and set up using the alignment protractor supplied, ensure that the tracking force control and bias adjustment slider are set to zero.

Do not over tighten. PLEASE NOTE: The Third fixing is not included with all cartridges.
CONNECTION TO THE AMPLIFIER The tonearm external phono leads must be connected to your amplifier. Connect as follows : Red right channel / Black left channel. If your amplifier does not have an integrated phono stage you will require an external stage (sold separately). To keep your RP6 working perfectly, please ensure that your turntable is returned to a Rega trained dealer for servicing at the recommended interval periods (2000 hours playing time).
TTPSU The tips we give here will help to give you maximum musical enjoyment and ease of use for many years. Connect the turntable power interconnect between the TTPSU and the turntable. Make sure the PS1 mains transformer is plugged in and connected to the 24v AC input terminal in the back of the TTPSU. Switch the mains power on. Push the power button on the front panel to turn the TTPSU on - When the power supply is switched on, the Rega logo will illuminate RED, This indicates that 33 rpm is selected.

TRANSPORTING YOUR RP6 Should you need to transport your RP6, to avoid any possible transit damage, the following recommendations must be followed. Remove tonearm balance weight and secure the arm in its rest with tape or covered wire. This will ensure no sudden or violent movement is transmitted to the delicate bearings. Remove platter. When removing, hold down the hub centre at the same time as lifting the platter on each side. NEVER place your RP6 upside-down or on its side.
CARE OF YOUR TURNTABLE Mount the turntable on a rigid, level surface. Avoid mounting on hollow or heavy cabinets or anything mounted on a flexible wooden floor. The Rega turntable support is the ideal solution. Keeping the lid closed while playing records will prevent dust falling on to the record surface and should make cleaning unnecessary. Depending on the room environment and ambient temperature, playing with the lid open may offer sonic improvements.
