Cambridge Audio TT50 Turntable User Manual


 
Before using your TT50 for the first time it is necessary to remove the
transit screws and fit the drive belt, platter and lid.
Please very carefully remove the parts separately from the packaging.
1. First remove the two red transport screws which secure the motor
during transportation.
These protect the motor and its assembly by preventing it from moving
around in transit. The screws must be removed before use to allow the
motor to float on its suspension, this provides a level of isolation of
between the motor drive and external vibrations and vice versa.
Retain the screws so that they can re-fitted should you need to move the
turntable in the future.
Note: A Philips screwdriver is required.

2. Next fit the drive belt around the sub-platter and the smaller diameter
part of the motor pulley (for 33rpm use).
Note: It is very important to avoid getting sweat or grease on the belt as
these will deteriorate the performance and reduce the belt's lifespan.
Use absorbant kitchen paper to remove any oil or grease from the outer
edge of the hub and the belt if necessary.
3. Fit the main platter over the spindle of the sub platter.
4. Fit the lid to the turntable, carefully over the hinge prongs and adjust
the screws if necessary until the lid stays open where you want it to
without being too stiff to open or close.
5. Connect the supplied power supply unit.
6. Connect the TT50 using a RCA/phono to RCA/phono interconnect
lead to an amplifier with either an internal or external phono stage.
Always use the phono input (sometimes labelled Gram, Disc or RIAA)
on your amplifier. Line inputs (such as CD, Tuner, Tape or Video) are
not suitable. As the TT50 is supplied with a Moving Magnet type
cartridge use either the input marked for MM phono on your amplifier,
or switch your phono stage to MM mode.
The earthing wire of the tonearm lead should be connected to the
earth terminal on your amplifier (if provided).
If your amplifier does not have an input suitable for phono cartridges
you will require a separate phono amplifier stage such as our Azur
540P or 640P models which are then connected between the record
player and a free line level input of the amplifier. For further
information contact your Cambridge Audio dealer.
