 the hold-down clip to stabilize the records. (Fig. K)

Move the program selector control knob to the number corresponding to the records you have placed on the spindle. Press the play button and the tonearm will play all of the records automatically. When the last record has played, the unit will shut off.

Multiple Play Plus Repeat

If you wish to play less than six records and would like the last record to be repeated one or more times, simply move the program selector knob to the number of records plus the number of additional plays desired. For example, if three records are on the spindle and you wish the last record to play once and repeat three times, simply set the program control to the number six.

Removing Automatic Spindle

All records must be removed. To remove the records, tilt the records down and away from the record platform and lift up. The automatic spindle can then be removed by grasping and lifting straight up.

Cueing Lever (Lift)

The cueing lever is used to raise or lower the tonearm during automatic or manual play. Moving the control for ward raises the tonearm, pushing it back lowers the tonearm.

Stylus Set-Down Adjustment and Tonearm Height

Your Model 20Z was carefully assembled and all necessary adjustments were made at the factory. There are, however, two minor adjustments that may have to be made to suit your particular cartridge. One adjustment controls the point at which the stylus lands upon the record's surface. All records contain a groove guard. Ideally, the stylus should land inside the groove guard just before the recorded portion of the record. The tonearm setdownset-down [sic] adjusting screw controls the exact point of set-down. To reposition the tonearm to land inside the groove guard, turn the adjusting screw until the tonearm is at the correct position.

In rare instances, when very deep or very shallow cartridges are used, adjustment may have to be made to the pickup height. This adjustment controls the amount of lift to the tonearm in both automatic play and manual cueing. The stylus should lift high enough to clear six records and the tonearm rest extension. If adjusted too high, the top of the shell will touch the bottom record on the stack. Turning the adjusting screw counterclockwise will raise the tonearm; clockwise rotation will lower the tonearm.    

Turntable Removal

It is not necessary to remove the turntable mat in order to remove the turntable. The turntable assembly is held in place by a nylon retaining clip located in the center. Remove the spindle and lift one edge of the retaining clip with a screwdriver until the edge of the clip has lifted free. (Fig. M) Once this has been done proceed in the same manner with the other edge of the clip remove, retain, and lift off the turntable. (Fig. M)

Belt Installation

As the turntable is removed, the drive belt will come off the rim of the turntable. To re-install the belt, place the belt around the drive rim of the platter. Grasp the belt with your left hand and gently pull towards the outside edge of the platter. Do not twist the belt! While holding the belt, locate the center hub of the platter over the platter shaft. Make certain the speed control is set at the 33 position. Lower the platter onto the shaft as you pull the belt around the pulley. Release the belt as it engages the pulley while continuing to lower the platter.

Rotate the platter clockwise several turns. If the belt is installed properly the platter will revolve when the unit is turned on. If the platter does not revolve, turn the unit off and repeat the above procedure. (Fig. N)

Re-install the Turntable Retaining "C" Clip

The turntable "C" clip has a projection on both the top and bottom. THIS PROJECTION MUST FIT FULLY INTO THE SLOT PROVIDED IN THE TURN TABLE SPINDLE SHAFT.

Lubrication

All pivot points and bearing surfaces have been lubricated at the factory and will seldom, if ever, require further attention.

Record Care

Keep the cartridge and stylus clean. Periodically have the stylus inspected by your dealer and replace if worn.

Return all records to their protective sleeves and jackets. Do not leave re-
