IMPORTANT: READ BEFORE PROCEEDING!

Read and follow the SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS below.

Save all packing materials. The Player should only be moved or shipped in its original packaging to

reduce the risk of damage in transit.

The Player must be placed on a flat, level surface. This will make setup easy, provide better sound

quality, and put less strain on the main bearing.

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS:

Follow the instructions below to reduce risk of electrical hazard or

injury.

1. To avoid electrical shock, do not open the motor cover.

2. If the power cord provided with the Player does not reach an outlet, use a heavy-duty, grounded

extension cord.

3. To avoid electrical shock, always plug the Player into a grounded outlet.

4. Do not expose the Player to rain or excessive moisture.

INTRODUCTION:

The VPI Player is a high-end entry level turntable. The Player comes complete with a headphone

amplifier, phonostage, and pre-mounted Ortofon 2M Red cartridge on a 9 inch Gimbaled/Yoke bearing, it

is the perfect solution to enjoy your records! It also has standard RCA connections giving the ability to

hook up to a standard amplifier and desktop/floor standing speakers. The Player turntable is a precision

instrument. It has been thoroughly tested.

WARNING: The Player’s phonostage is defeat-able but must be disengaged before being plugged

into another phonostage. Doing so could result in serious damage to your speakers. See your

local dealer or check online for directions to disengage your internal phonostage.

OPENING THE BOX:

The VPI Player is protected by custom designed foam packaging to make it easy to remove and begin

your listening experience. All foam parts easily lift off from the box. Make sure to save all packaging in

the event you ever need to safely ship your Player table.

Setting up the Player

The Player must be placed on a flat, level surface. This will make setup easy, provide better sound

quality, and put less strain on the main bearing.

1. Place the turntable chassis on the shelf or stand where it will be used. The better isolation you

provide the Player, the better it will sound. We highly recommend a 1 to 3 inch thick maple shelf

sitting on rubber isolator feet for this purpose.

2. Remove the turntable platter and place the platter on the tapered spindle. The platter bearing is

lubricated; no additional lubrication is needed for at least one year. If you need to lubricate the

bearing place 3 drops of 40 weight motor oil in the spindle hole.

3. Connect the power cord to turntable.

4. Place the drive belt around the platter and around the pulley on the motor. The belt does not have to

be level on the platter. It will self-level when the platter starts rotating.

5. For 33 RPM operation, place the belt on the upper part of the pulley. For 45 RPM operation, place the

belt on the lower, wider part of the pulley. The center groove in each diameter is the correct speed.

To determine the precise speed, use a strobe disc. The VPI Synchronous Drive System speed

controller provides the ultimate speed accuracy and best sound. Check with your dealer about

availability.

REMOVING THE CARTRIDGE GUARD

The Ortofon 2M Red cartridges pre-mounted on the Player comes with a

cartridge guard to protect the stylus. To remove the guard (while facing the

Player) gently press the tab of the guard towards you to release and remove.

Arm Height and Azimuth

Both your arm height and azimuth is already factory set for you! All adjustments are optional. If you want

to make your own adjustments you can adjust the height of the arm from underneath your turntable under

the arm base, and the azimuth using the two small screws located on the right hand side of the arm tube.

Optional adjustment for arm height (VTA) as follows:

Loosen the nut under the tone arm-base, remove the ground wire, then you may adjust the height by

turning the brass nut.

Optional adjustment for the azimuth as follows:

You may adjust azimuth by loosening the side screws and turning the armtube.

CHANGING SPEEDS:

The VPI Player comes with a two speed pulley, 33 and 45. To adjust the speeds simply move the belt

from one pulley groove to another.

CONNECTING TO THE PREAMPLIFIER/AMPLIFIER

Only use interconnects that are shielded and properly grounded. Non-shielded can hum.

The ground connection is available to eliminate hum if necessary. If hum is present, first connect a

ground lead from the connector block to the preamplifier or amplifier to which the output cable is

connected. If this does not eliminate the hum, run a ground wire from the turntable chassis to the

connector block as well. The block's connector will accept bare wires, spade lugs, or ring tongue

connectors.

Do NOT plug the Player into an external phonostage

unless you have disengaged your internal phonostage!

Doing so could possibly damage your speakers!

PLAYING RECORDS

Make sure the VPI slip mat that comes standard with the Player is secure.

If using headphones, plug your headphones into the headphone amplifier located in the front left of

the Player. Be sure to set your volume at a preferred level before listening.

Press the power button and sit down and enjoy listening to your records with.

GENERAL USE

Allow at least 20 hours of break-in time.

will become quieter as you use your Player.
