PRELIMINARY REMARKS • Save the carton and all internal fillers and plastic bags. If you should ever need to carry or ship the HW-19 JR any distance, there is much less chance of it suffering damage in transit if it is properly packed in its original carton. • Electrical Requirements: HW-19’s are designed to run on 115 VAC 60 Hz, or 230 VAC 50 Hz. The shipping carton shows which is the correct voltage for your unit. CAUTION: TO PREVENT FIRE OR SHOCK HAZARD, DO NOT EXPOSE THIS UNIT TO RAIN OR MOISTURE.
diameter) groove. Replace the Motor Cover Plate. Make sure each post has a lock washer atop it before putting the Cover Plate in place. Making the caps finger-tight is all that is required. MOUNTING THE TONEARM • • If you have a pre-cut arm board: Confirm that it is the correct board for the arm you are mounting. Fasten the tonearm to the board according to its manufacturer’s directions. Attach the tonearms cable according to its maker’s directions.
FINAL ASSEMBLY • • Place the dustcover on the JR by slipping the hinge flanges into the sockets on the rear of the base. Close the cover. Each of its front corners should rest on one of the small round pads on the base’s front corners. If necessary, push gently on the front of the cover until it does so. You may also have to pull up slightly on one of the rear corners. Once the cover is squarely resting on the base, tighten the screws on the back of the base’s hinge sockets with a No.
• The action of the clamp system is to provide uniform compression of the record at the outer edge of the label area. First, the periphery of the record is forced into contact with the platter. Then, the rest of the grooved area is pushed into contact. ADDITIONAL TIPS • • • • • • Keep the platter scrupulously clean. Since no mat is used on the JR, any dirt can easily be transferred to the record—especially since the clamp holds the record down under pressure.
• • • If running a ground wire from the chassis does not eliminate the hum, there may be a more complex problem involving the particular arm/cartridge combination. VPI will attempt to provide assistance, but please understand that it is not possible for us to be familiar with all the numerous arm/cartridge combinations. You may also want to contact both the arm and cartridge manufacturers.
