wise will cause the opposite. Turn the
COUNTERWEIGHT
clockwise or
counter clockwise as needed until the
TONE ARM (7)
is balanced
horizontally. You can easily tell this by watching for the point where the
TONE ARM (7)
“floats” freely.
4. Place
TONE ARM (7)
on
ARM REST (11)
and lock it in place with the
ARM CLAMP (10)
.
5. With the
TONE ARM (7)
locked on the
ARM REST (11)
, hold the
COUNTERWEIGHT (9)
steady with one hand while rotating the
STYLUS PRESSURE RING (12)
until the numeral “0” on the ring aligns
with the center line on the
TONE ARM
rear shaft. The horizontal zero
(0) balance should be completed.
6. Refloat the
TONE ARM
to ensure horizontal zero (0) balance. If zero
balance has not been maintained, repeat counterweight steps 3-5.
7. After adjusting the horizontal zero (0) balance, turn the balanced
COUNTERWEIGHT (9)
counter clockwise until the cartridge
manufacturer’s recommend stylus pressure appears on the
STYLUS
PRESSURE RING (12)
where it meets the center line of the
TONE ARM
(7)
rear shaft.
ADJUSTING THE ANTI-SKATING CONTROL:
Set the
ANTI-SKATING CONTROL (13)
to the same value as the stylus
pressure.
NOTE: THE CN- 25 CARTRIDGE THAT COMES WITH THE
TURNTABLE HAS A RECOMMENED TRACKING FORCE OF 3.0
GRAMS AND CAN HAVE RANGE FROM 2.5 - 3.5 GRAMS.
INSTALLING THE DUSTCOVER:
1. Hold the dustcover in position, directly above the turntable, and slide
the hinge bases into the holders mounted on the rear panel.
2. Always raise the dustcover before removal.
3. Avoid opening and closing the dustcover during play. Undesirable
vibration and stylus skipping can result.
CONNECTIONS:
1. Plug the AC power plug into an appropriate outlet.
2. See Table A for proper connection of the output RCA plugs and ground
connector. Make sure that all the plugs are firmly plugged into the
appropriate jacks (phono inputs). To reduce hum, make sure the ground
lug is firmly connected to the ground screw.

to the
“UP”
position will cause the
TONE
ARM (7)
to lift stopping play.
2. Pushing the
CUE LEVER (20)
to the
“DOWN”
position will cause the
TONE ARM (7)
to slowly lower onto the record at the point where play
was interrupted.
3. Pushing the
START/STOP (17)
button stops the
PLATTER (2)
and
leaves the
TONE ARM (7)
at the last play position on the record.
PLAYING 45 RPM RECORDS:
1. When playing a 45 rpm record with a large center hole, first place the
45 ADAPTER (21)
on the center spindle.
2. Be sure that the
SPEED SELECTOR (19)
switch is set to the 45 position
and the 45
SPEED INDICATOR (18)
is illuminated.
ADJUSTING THE PITCH CONTROL:
1. The
XL-120 MKII
is equipped with two

,
one for each speed.
2. When the selected speed’s
PITCH CONTROL (15, 16)
is positioned off
center, the pitch can vary +/- 6%.
3. The
PLATTER (2)
is equipped with a
STROBE RPM INDICATOR STRIP
(22).
When the
PLATTER (2)
is spinning, the
STROBE ILLUMINATOR
illuminates the
STROBE RPM INDICATOR STRIP (23)
. The bottom row
of dots will appear to be stationary when the speed of the platter is
exactly 33 RPM-50 Hz (230V) and the top row will appear to be
stationary at 33 RPM-60Hz (115V).
