I ntroduction Thank you for buying the Linn BASIK turntable. We are sure it will provide you with musical pleasure for many years to come. Linn Products have always stated that the turntable is the most important part of a high fidelity system.
INSTALLATION v Carefully remove all packing from box. v Put all the oil from the phial supplied into the bearing housing - NOTE Remove bearing-housing dustcap. v Carefully put the Inner Platter into the bearing housing supporting it as it sinks down to prevent damage to the bearing surfaces.
v Turn the counterweight to the position which balances the arm, i.e: where the stylus is floating at about record height. Clip the arm back into its rest. Turn the tracking dial while holding the counterweight until '0' is aligned with the line on top of the arm.
SITING Ensure the surface on which the turntable is to be used is level. For best results we recommend the following :- FLOOR MOUNTING Place deck on a small, light, rigid table e.g. small coffee table. Ensure the table is sitting firmly on the floor and not rocking.
OPERATION The power switch is on the underside of the plinth at the front left-hand side. A label indicates direction for ON and OFF. This label is removable. Lift and lower the lid carefully as it is coupled to the suspended plinth. If dropped or roughly handled it may cause the arm to jump.
SPEED SELECTION To change the speed of the BASIK turntable, switch off, remove the mat and outer platter and move the belt to the other level on the stepped pulley.
TURNTABLE MAINTENANCE The BASIK is designed for a long operational life. To preserve the appearance and maintain the performance of your dock, you should note the following points: OUTER PLATTER Clean with a soft, dry cloth. DO NOT use any abrasive cleaner as this will remove the protective lacquer and cause corrosion.
GENERAL SYSTEM INSTALLATION TRACKING WEIGHT & BIAS Every arm and cartridge combination has an optimum tracking weight which your dealer will have advised you of.
