TURNTABLE OPERATION f) Set the Speed selector and Record-size selector to match the
records.
The HP-319 turntable can be used for either automatic or manual
playing. Preparation for either mode is the same. Before playing
records, be sure to remove any dust from the stylus with a soft
brush (stylus brush, artist's paint brush) and clean the disc with a
record cleaner.

Preparation
o Release the Overarm by depressing it at its axis and moving it
toward the center. Then lift and turn it to the right.

e Stack up to five records on the spindle. While holding the rec-

ord stack with your left hand, move the Overarm to the center
with your right hand. The Overarm will drop onto the records and
hold them steady.

f) Leave the POWER switch set to either ON or OFF/AUTO OFF.

When you leave the turntable or think you might fall asleep during
play, move the POWER switch to OFF/AUTO OFF. The set auto-
matically turns off when play ends.
e Depress the SPEAKER button "A" or "8", depending upon
speaker connection.
o Keep the MODE button released (STEREO).
o Keep the MONITOR button released (SOURCE) and depress the
PHONO button.
o Remove the stylus guard.

a previously recorded cassette for playback, or a blank cassette to
make your own recording from radio programs, records or micro-
phones. The cassette is inserted by merely pushing it into the slot
on the front panel, making sure that:
• The tape side is away from you.
• The desired side is up.
• There is no slack in the tape.
• The tape is wound on the right hand side.
• The tape counter is set to "000 ",
If there is slack in the tape remove it by inserting a pencil in the
hub and winding it until the slack is eliminated .

down on the record and the record will play repeatedly. For auto-
matic shut-off, gently return the Overarm to the center after the
stylus sets down. At the end of the record, the tonearm will return

CARE OF YOUR HP-319 SPECIAL ADJUSTMENTS

The unit has been accurately preadjusted for correct stylus force,
anti-skating compensation, tonearm drop-point, and cueing height.
CLEANING THE CABINET Should readjustment be necessary, turn off the power and proceed
as follows:
Clean the cabinet with a soft polishing cloth. Never use solvents,
acetone or benzine, as they may mar the finish.

CLEANING HEADS

The accumulation of dust and oxide on the heads will cause noise
and the loss of high frequency response, so keep the heads clean
to assure best performance.
While holding down the Cassette-holder lid, gently wipe the heads,
capstan and pinch roller using the head cleaning tip or a cotton
swab moistened with denatured alcohol. Use a long probe or Q-tip
for easier access.

NOTE: Variation of the settings described above may be necessary
depending on the tracking. If the tonearm tends to skate outward
after adjustment, lower the setting; if it skates inward, increase the
setting.

Tonearm Drop-point Adjustment

The correct position for stylus set-down IS 1/8 inch in from the re-
cord edge. Position adjustment should be made on a 12-inch record
with the Drop-point adjustment screw (0). When properly adjusted
the stylus set-down will be correct for 7-inch and 10-inch records
as well.

Cueing-height Adjustment
The cueing height is correct when the stylus clears the top of five
records on the turntable by 1/8 inch. Raise the tonearm by turning
the Cueing-height adjustment screw (C) counterclcckwise, and
lower the tonearm by turning it clockwise. After this adjustment
is made, check that the tonearm clears the under side of a record
stack atop the spindle. Also, make sure that the tonearm rests on
the arm rest.
