Remove

the

four

blue

fixing

screws

and

felt

@

Installation

of

turntable

platter

1.

Place

the

turntable

platter

on

the

center

spindle.

Note:

The

rotor

is

connected

to

the

underside

of

the

turntable

platter.

(The

magnet

of

the

motor

is

attached

to

the

turn-

table

platter.)

To

maintain

optimum

performance,

extra

Care

should

be

taken

to

prevent

adhesion

of

dust

or

iron

filings

to

the

magnet

and

not

to

damage

the

magnet

by

dropping

it.

|

Do

not

remove

or

loosen

the

screws.

Should

the

position

of

the

fixed

magnet

be

altered

by

loosening

the

securing

screws,

the

rated

performance

of

the

unit

cannot

be

guar-

anteed.

(See

Fig.

3.)

2.

Place

the

turntable

mat

on

the

platter.

Match

the

@

Adjustment

of

overhang

(for

the

unit

with

overhang

gauge)

(See

Fig.

7-1)

1.

Insert

the

headshell

into

the

gauge.

2.

Loosen

the

mounting

screws

and

move

the

cartridge

for-

ward

or

until

the

stylus

tip

lines

up

with

the

edge

of

the

gauge.

3.

Tighten

the

mounting

screws

without

moving

the

car-

tridge.

Note:

Your

cartridge

is

now

adjusted

for

lowest

tracking

error

and

minimum

distortion.

This

gauge

is

exclusively

designed

for

this

tonearm.

(for

the

unit

without

overhang

gauge)

(See

Fig.

7-2.)

The

overhang

of

this

unit

is

15

mm.

Loosen

the

mounting

screws

and

move

the

cartridge

or

backward

until

the

distance

between

the

Installation

of

headshell

(See

Fig.

8.)

Insert

the

headshell

into

the

front

end

of

the

tubular

arm,

and

turn

the

locking

nut

clockwise

(in

@

Installation

of

balance

weight

(See

Fig.

9.)

Place

the

balance

weight

on

the

rear

shaft

of

the

tonearm.

Note:

In

case

the

cartridge

weight

exceeds

10g,

it

is

necessary

to

fix

the

attached

auxiliary

weight

over

the

rear

shaft

of

the

arm.

(See

Fig.

10.)

With

this

auxiliary

weight

in

use,

it

is

possible

to

use

any

cartridge

whose

weight

is

in

the

range

of

9.5—13

g.

Adjustments

of

horizontal

zero

(0)

balance

and

stylus

pressure

1.

Remove

the

stylus

protector,

if

your

cartridge

has

a

detach-

able

one.

Be

careful

not

to

touch

your

fingers

to

the

stylus

tip.

2.

Release

the

arm

clamp

“A”)

or

counterclockwise

(indicated

by

the

arrow

“B”)

until

the

tonearm

is

approximately

balanced

horizon-

tally

(floats

freely).

(See

Figs.

11

and

12.)

Note:

(A)

Excessive

forward

advancement

of

the

balance

weight

causes

the

cartridge

side

to

be

lowered.

(B)

Excessive

backward

retreatment

of

the

balance

weight

causes

the

cartridge

side

to

be

raised.

(C)

Upon

balancing

between

the

balance

weight

and

Cartridge.

the

tonearm

is

held

horizontal.

During

the

adjustment

of

the

horizontal

zero

(0p

balance,

be

careful

that

the

stylus

tip

of

the

cartridge

does

not

contact

the

to

raise

it

as

illustrated

before

removal.

Note:

Opening

or

closing

of

the

dust

cover

during

play

should

be

avoided.

This

may

not

only

cause

undesired

vibrations,

but

also

result

in

skipping

of

the

stylus.

If

you

must

open

the

dust

cover

during

play,

do

so

as

gently

as

possible.

Placement

M

Place

the

has

the

superior

feature

of

double-isolator

const-

ruction.

For

obtaining

the

maximum

effect

of

this

feature,

place

the

unit

in

a

stable,

level

place.

In

addition,

be

careful

not

to

put

anything

under

the

turntable

base.

Make

certain

that

the

surface

on

which

the

turntable

rests

is

large

enough

to

accommodate

the

legs

fully.

Do

not

install

the

unit

where

there

is

strong

light,

To

begin

with,

protect

the

thus

increasing

the

distance

between

Quartz-phase-locked

control

provides

rotational

accuracy

that

is

not

approached

by

other

turntable

servo

systems.

With

the

large

majority

of

quartz-controlled

turntables,

how-

ever,

the

quartz

servo

system

must

be

defeated

when

speed

changes

are

required

(such

as

for

matching

musical

pitch

to

an

instrument).

Technics

was

the

first

company

to

develop

a

“quartz

synthesizer”

system

which

maintained

quartz

accu-

racy

in

pitch-altered

modes.

This

system

permitted

quartz-

controlled

speed

changes

in

increments

of

0.1%.

Now,

with

the

SL-1600MK2/SL-1610MK2,

pitch

is

variable

continuously

(analogically)

by

up

to

+6%,

under

quartz

con-

trol.

Pitch

changes

are

made

by

turning

a

and

In

any

case,

the

unsurpassed

of

the

quartz

remains

in

Acoustic

the

table

is

located

in

the

as

as

is

the

case

innearly

all

Technics

developed

a

double

isolated

suspension

system

to

drastically

reduce

the

potential

for

feedback.

The

outer

base

is

made

from

diecast

aluminum

and

is

supported

by

a

carefully

tuned

set

of

isolators.

The

inner

base

which

supports

the

all-important

platter,

motor

and

tonearm

base,

is

made

from

our

heavy,

anti-resonant

“TNRC”

material

(Technics

Non-Resonance

Compound).

This

inner

base

is

supported

by

a

second

set

of

isolators.

Alto-

gether,

this

double

suspension

makes

it

very

unlikely

that

you'll

ever

encounter

a

problem.

Even

the

is

with

A

You'll

discover

that

the

is

so

that

you'll

almost

whenever

the

a

sensor

installed

in

a

pole

near

the

tonearm

base.

The

record

on

the

turntable

mat

blocks

a

portion

of

the

in-

frared,

and

from

this

the

size

of

the

record

is

determined.

The

micro-computer

mentioned

above

handles

the

information

and

causes

the

tonearm

to

descend

at

the

appropriate

point.

If

there

is

no

record

on

the

platter

when

the

“start”

switch

is

pushed,

the

tonearm

will

not

move,

so

accidental

operation

is

impossible.

In

addition,

the

repeat

action

of

the

tonearm

is

improved

over

our

past

designs.

If

you

operate

the

turntable

in

a

repeat-play

mode,

the

tonearm

will

return

to

the

lead-in

grooves

and

descend

rather

than

going

back

to

the

tonearm

rest

as

in

past

models.

convenience

is

enhanced

by

putting

all

controls,

even

the

cueing

control

and

LED

display,

in-line

on

the

front

panel.

The

control

buttons

are

precision-designed

to

require

a

moderate

but

definite

amount

of

pressure

for

activation.

This

design

gives

a

sense

of

positive

control

and

minimizes

the

possiblility

of

its

accidental

activation.

High-Sensitivity,

Low

Mass

Gimbal

Suspension

Tonearm

The

highly

sensitive

tonearm

suspension

features

a

genuine

“gimbal”

design,

the

rotational

center

of

which

is

precisely

defined

at

a

single

point.

Bearings

are

finished

to

atolerance

of

10.5

microns.

This

and

the

close-proximity

of

the

bearings

to

the

pivot

center,

result

in

an

effective

friction

of

7

mg

(0.007

grams)

for

both

horizontal

and

vertical

movement.

Add

to

this

the

low,

12-gram

effective

mass

of

the

tonearm

(includ-

ing

the

headshell)

and

you

have

a

tonearm

compatible

with

the

wide

range

of

compliances

found

in

today’s

cartridges.
