(130-1203)                 Operation                  Faxback Doc. # 32848


OPERATING YOUR CLARINETTE-96

Push POWER Button in.

AM RECEPTION ... Push in AM Button and tune in your desired program by
rotating the Tuning knob (adjust for maximum deflection on signal meter).

FM RECEPTION ... Push in FM Button and tune in your desired program by
rotating the Tuning Knob.  Tune for center scale reading on the FM tuning
meter.  For drift-free reception, push in the FM Stereo Button.

   NOTE:  Excessive noise on a stereo station is normally caused by a weak
          signal being received.  This noise may be reduced by pushing in
          the HI FILTER button or by pressing the FM button.  You may want
          to add an external FM antenna to improve reception on a weak
          station.  (See "ANTENNAS", on Faxback Doc. # 32846)

CHANGER OPERATION

Push in PHONO button to play records.  The POWER switch need not be on for
phono operation. Power to the amplifier and changer is turned on and off by
the switch on the record changer.

OPERATING THE RECORD CHANGER

1.  Move RECORD SELECT control to the size of record to be played (7, 10,
    or 12 inches).

2.  Move RECORD SPEED control to the correct RPM speed (33, 45, or 78).

3.  Grasp the RECORD STABILIZER ARM at the rear, raise it to its highest
    position and swing to the right over the TONE ARM.

FOR AUTOMATIC OPERATION

4.  Place up to six records of the same size and speed on the AUTOMATIC
    SPINDLE.  Return the STABILIZER ARM to the center position and lower it
    onto the stack of records.  The POWER switch should be in the OFF
    position for automatic shut off.

    Do not intermix record sizes and speeds.

    CUEING LEVER must be in the lowered (forward) position.

5.  Move the STOP-START-AUTO control to the AUTO position and hold it
    momentarily before slowly releasing.  The phonograph will play all the
    records automatically and turn the changer and amplifier off after the
    last record has played - if the POWER switch is in the "off" position.

6.  To reject a record, move the STOP-START-AUTO control to the AUTO
    position and hold it momentarily before slowly releasing.  The next
    record will drop into position for playing.

    NOTE:  Avoid turning off your RECORD CHANGER while it is in the process
           of changing a record; turn it off only after its change cycle is
           completed.

7.  To remove the records, lift the RECORD STABILIZER ARM and position it
    over the TONE ARM.  Carefully lift the stack of records and guide them
    upward past the spindle top.

    To replay a stack of records, you must lift them completely off the
    AUTOMATIC SPINDLE before reloading them.

FOR MANUAL CHANGER OPERATION

Follow 1 through 3 as noted on previous page.

1.  Remove the long spindle by grasping and slightly twisting while pulling
    up.  Insert the short spindle into the center hole.

2.  Place record on the turntable and move STOP-START-AUTO control lever to
    START.  Do not swing stabilizer arm back over the center spindle.

3.  Use CUEING LEVER to set tone arm on the records.  Move lever to the
    rear, position tone are over the desired selection on the record, and
    bring the lever forward to lower the tone arm.  The CUEING LEVER can
    also be used as a pause control when you want to interrupt play and
    then return the needle stylus to the same groove.

4.  To shut off unit in manual operation after record has played, move STOP
    START-AUTO control lever to STOP.  To have unit shut off automatically
    after record has been played, return and lower stabilizer arm to its
    center position after placing tone arm on the record.

    To reinsert the automatic record spindle, align the spindle side
    projection with the slot in the turntable center hole.  Then firmly
    push the spindle into the hole until you hear a click.

INSERTING 45 RPM ADAPTER

To play 45 RPM records (with large center hole), place the rectangular 45
adapter over the automatic spindle so that the ledge of the adapter points
toward the right rear corner of the record changer.  When adapter is
positioned properly, it will slide into place without excessive pressure.
