Technical specifications
The Beogram 9000 is designed primarily to complement the
Beocenter 9000 although it can, of course, also be used in
conjunction with other music systems.
When connected to a Bang & Olufsen music system, the
Beogram 9000 can be remote controlled by using the remote
control unit appropriate to that system.
The manual controls on the Beogram 9000 consist of ‘rocker’
buttons marked to indicate which end to press in order to carry
out a specific function.
These buttons are situated under the dust cover and are repre-
sented in this booklet by a small box with the appropriate text or
symbol inside it.
For remote controlled operation, please refer to the instruction
manual for your remote control unit.
SETTING UP
Loosening the transport screws
Before using the record player, you must loosen the
three transport screws on the underside.
Place the record player on a table so that the
front protrudes over the edge. Holding the record
хз
PLAY À TRANSPORT
player securely, turn it carefully to locate and
loosen each screw. Use a screwdriver or a coin for
this but note that the screws cannot be removed
completely.
If you ever have to move the record player, we
strongly recommend that you tighten the three
transport screws before you do so.
Where to put the record player
The record player must be placed horizontally on a T
stable surface. Allow a space of at least 30 cm
above the record player so that the dust cover can
open freely. Avoid placing it in direct sunlight or
near radiators or other sources of heat.
Preparing the record player for use
Remove the foam rubber pieces protecting the
tonearm but be careful not to catch the stylus in
doing so.
Place the platter on the turntable and check that
it can move freely. It should feel springy when
pressed lightly.
Remember to raise the stylus guard on the car-
tridge before you start playing a record.
Connection to receiver
If you are connecting your Beogram 9000 to a
Beocenter 9000, plug the 7 pin DIN cable into the
PHONO socket on the Beocenter 9000.
If your receiver has a 5 pin DIN socket or phono
sockets, first unscrew the two extra grooved pins
from the plug using a tiny screwdriver. Then insert
the plug directly into the 5 pin DIN socket on the
receiver. If your receiver only has phono sockets,
Stand-by mode
an adaptor (Bang & Olufsen part no. 6270208) must
be connected before inserting the plug into the
phono sockets on your receiver.
Once connected to the mains supply, the record
player is in stand-by mode and ready for use.
The Beogram 9000 will automatically revert to
stand-by mode shortly after a record is finished
playing. A connected Beocenter 9000 will follow
suit after approximately 30 minutes.
Adjusting stylus pressure
The stylus pressure must be adjusted to match the
type of Bang & Olufsen MMC cartridge fitted on
the tonearm.
Set the slider situated on the right-hand side of
the tonearm to the appropriate value:
1.8 15
MMC 1 = 1.0 gram
MMC 2 = 1.0 gram
MMC 3 = 1.2 grams
MMC 4 = 1.2 grams
MMC 5 = 1.5 grams
If you want to check the stylus pressure using a
stylus gauge, place the gauge underneath the stylus,
press _——> Jand keep the button depressed for
more than two seconds. The tonearm will then
lower onto the gauge, and you can read off the
pressure on the gauge.

PLAYING A RECORD
Start playing
Place the record on the turntable.
If you want to clean the record before you start

Setting speed
Alternatively, you may lightly press the surface
of the front panel at the right-hand side where it is
marked Play.
If you instruct the Beogram 9000 to play without
placing a record on the platter, the tonearm will
remain in its resting position although the turntable
will rotate briefly.
The Beogram 9000 automatically registers the size
of standard records and determines the speed
accordingly (33 or 45 rpm). The speed selected
appears on the indicator arm which lies parallel to
the tonearm.
However, you can set the spced manually 1f, for
instance, you want to play an EP. Press and
Pausing
then or whichever is appropriate. You can
change the speed at any time during play.
Press | — Jor[ —> |to lift the tonearm off the
record. The turntable will continue to rotate but the
tonearm will rise and remain above the point from
which it was lifted.
Press to lower the tonearm and continue
playing.
If you don’t resume playing within approximate-
ly 8 minutes, the Beogram 9000 will automatically
revert to stand-by.
Stepping through the record
Without stopping the record and without touching
the tonearm, you can move the tonearm to any
position on the record you like and resume playing
from there.
Press | <— |to move the tonearm towards the
centre of the record, or press to move the
tonearm towards the edge of the record.
Stop playing

illuminate the record to help you find the right spot.
Press |@] to stop playing.
The tonearm will rise and return to its resting
position, and the record player will revert to stand-
by.
Repeating a record
If you keep [| depressed for more than two
seconds, a connected Beocenter 9000 will also
switch to stand-by mode.
You can, if you like, make the record player play a
record up to seven times in a row.
Press once to start playing. Then press
again the number of times you want the record
to be repeated.
If you have given the record player a repeat in-
struction, the speed indicator will flash on and off.
If you use! <— || —> Jor[60) the repeat
function will be cancelled.
MAINTENANCE
Stylus
Fluff and dust can build up on the tip of the stylus
and cause distortion during play. Therefore, clean
the stylus every now and then using the tiny brush
provided.
Carefully brush the stylus only from the back of the car-
tridge towards the front.
Any stylus cleaning fluid should be used in moderate
amounts.
Reducing the amount of dirt and dust on the record
to a minimum is of course the best way to keep the
stylus clean and thus to ensure optimum perfor-
mance. For this purpose we recommend you use
Cabinet surfaces
the Bang & Olufsen LP Protector record mainte-
nance kit. The Bang & Olufsen LP Protector is
available from your Bang « Olufsen dealer.
Wipe off dust with a soft, dry cloth. Use a sott cloth
well wrung out in warm water to remove grease
stains.
Be careful not to touch the cartridge and the
stylus.
Never use denatured alcohol to clean any parts of the
record player.
