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 24 V AC input socket on the rear panel of the Neo.
3.
Plug in the Rega PS1 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.
Connecting 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.
Speed Adjustment (factory set - only adjust if necessary)
The speed control functions are sited on the back panel of the Neo.
Speed programme switch – This enables the set speed mode.
Programme mode LED – This indicates the two modes of operation: Factory
default mode and speed adjustment mode.
Speed adjustment – This encoder is used to adjust the speed. The step size
of the speed control is 0.01 RPM.
