Setup And Connections - Rega Planar 6 Manual De Instrucciones

Setup and connections

1. Only use the Rega supplied PS1 AC adaptor.
2. Connect the power DIN lead (supplied) between the rear of the
Planar 6 and the 24V AC input socket on the rear panel of the Neo.
3. Plug the Rega PS1 in and switch the mains power on.
4. To turn the Neo on, push the button marked 'power' located on
the front panel and the turntable platter will rotate at the selected
speed.
5. When the power supply is switched on, if the Rega logo
illuminates red, 331/3 RPM is selected.
6. If the Rega logo is illuminated green, 45 RPM is selected.
7. To change between speeds, press the button marked '33/45' on
the front panel as required.
Note: To minimise the risk of hum picked up by the cartridge, the
Neo should be situated as far from the turntable as the interconnect
cable will allow.
Connection to the amplifier
The tonearm external phono leads must be connected to a suitable
phono stage. Connect as follows: Red = right chanel, Black = left
channel.
Depending on the type of cartridge you have chosen, you will
require the appropriate moving magnet MM or moving coil MC
stage. If your amplifier does not have an integrated phono stage, you
will require an external stage (sold separately).
Cartridge mounting and setting up the RB330
tonearm
Firstly, ensure the cartridge fixings are orientated correctly according
to the cartridge makers specification. Use the cartridge alignment
protractor (supplied) to accurately set the position of the cartridge.
Ensure that the tracking force dial (A) and bias adjustment slider (B)
are both set to zero. Place the balance weight (C) on to the balance
weight shaft. With the stylus guard removed, position the cartridge
above the lead-in groove of an LP. Whilst supporting the headshell,
carefully push the weight further up the shaft until the stylus is
floating just 1mm clear of the record.
The recommended tracking force can now be applied using the
tracking force dial. Always use a force which corresponds to the
upper limit of the cartridge makers recommended range. Finally,
push the bias adjustment slider to the same number as the tracking
force control.
