PRECAUTIONS:
1. Read all operating instructions before using this equipment.

ARE NO USER REPLACEABLE PARTS INSIDE. Please contact the
Gemini Service Department or your authorized dealer to speak to a
qualified service technician.
3. Tone Arm bearings are factory set and sealed. Any attempt at
adjustment will void the warranty.

5. Cables should be low capacitance, shielded and of proper length.
Make sure that all plugs and jacks are tight and properly connected.

minimum and the speaker volume control(s) set to OFF. Wait 8 to 10
seconds prior to turning up the speaker volume to prevent the transient

ASSEMBLY AND SET-UP:

NOTE: SEE FIG. 1 FOR PART NUMBERS AND LOCATIONS.
VOLTAGE SELECTION:
Rotate the PLATTER (2) until the VOLTAGE SELECTOR (3) (located
on the TURNTABLE BASE (1)) is visible through one of the platter
holes. Make sure that the VOLTAGE SELECTOR (3) switch is set to
the correct voltage.
WARNING: If you try to operate the turntable with the incorrect voltage setting, it can
damage your turntable.
ATTACHING THE TURNTABLE BELT:
The TURNTABLE BELT (4A) comes attached to the PLATTER (2) and
the MOTOR SPINDLE (4B) but can some times detach in shipping.
Rotate the PLATTER (2) and look through the platter holes to check if
the belt detached. If the belt is not wrapped tightly around the platter
and the MOTOR SPINDLE (4B), you need to reattach it.
1. First, place a screwdriver in the center of LOCKING WASHER (4C)
around the CENTER SPINDLE (4) and gently pry the washer off.
2. Remove the PLATTER (2) and wrap the TURNTABLE BELT (4A)
around the inner circle under the PLATTER (2). Do not stretch out the
belt.
3. Replace and rotate the PLATTER (2) until the MOTOR SPINDLE
(4B) is visible, then fit your fingers in hole on the top of the PLATTER
(2), feel for and grab the rubber belt and attach to the MOTOR SPIN-
DLE (4B).
4. Replace the LOCKING WASHER (4C).
TURNTABLE INSTALLATION:
1. Put the RUBBER MAT (5) on the PLATTER (2).
2. Set the TURNTABLE BASE (1) on a flat, level surface free of vibra-
tion. Use the turntable feet to horizontally stabilize the unit.
3. Try to place the unit as far away from the speakers as possible.
4. Keep the unit away from direct exposure to the sun, heat, moisture
or dirt.
5. Keep the unit well ventilated.
CARTRIDGE INSTALLATION: (SEE FIG. 2)
Because all cartridges have their own designs, please refer to your
particular cartridge's instructions to insure proper installation.
1. Connect the lead wires to the cartridge terminals. For your
convenience, the terminals of most cartridges are color coded.
Connect each lead wire to the terminal of the same color.
White (L+).........................................................................Left Channel +
Blue (L-)............................................................................Left Channel -
Red (R+)........................................................................Right Channel +
Green (R-).......................................................................Right Channel -
2. Mount the cartridge in the HEADSHELL (6) and tighten it with the
screws included with the cartridge.
ATTENTION STANTON 680 CARTRIDGE USERS
When using a Stanton 680 or similar cartridge, where the body is
grounded to a cartridge terminal, remove the grounding strap from the
cartridge body to the cartridge ground terminal. Failure to do this may
result in excessive hum.
HEADSHELL INSTALLATION:
Insert the HEADSHELL (6) into the front of the tubular TONE ARM
(7). While holding the HEADSHELL (6) firmly in a horizontal position,
turn the LOCKING NUT (8) counter clockwise until the HEADSHELL
(6) is locked in place.
COUNTERWEIGHT INSTALLATION: (SEE FIG. 3A & 3B)
1. Slide the COUNTERWEIGHT (9) onto the rear of the TONE ARM
(7) with the numbered stylus gauge facing forward.
2. Twist the COUNTERWEIGHT (9) lightly counter clockwise, to screw
it onto the rear of the TONE ARM (7).
ADJUSTING HORIZONTAL ZERO (0) BALANCE AND
STYLUS PRESSURE:
1. Without touching the stylus tip, remove the stylus protector (if your
cartridge has a detachable one).
2. Release the ARM CLAMP (10) and lift the TONE ARM (7) off the
ARM REST (11).
3. Counter clockwise advancement of the COUNTERWEIGHT (9) will
cause the cartridge side of the TONE ARM (7) to be lowered.
Clockwise will cause the opposite. Turn the COUNTERWEIGHT (9)
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.
