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 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.

stylus gauge, place the gauge underneath the
stylus, press LIFT> and keep the button depressed
for more than two seconds. The tonearm will then

the record.

surface of the front panel at the
right-hand side where it is marked

If you instruct the Beogram 6500 to play without
placing a record on the platter, the tonearm will
remain in its resting position although the
turntable will rotate briefly.
If you want to clean the record before you start
playing, press <TURN.
The turntable will rotate and the tonearm will
move into position without lowering onto the
record. When you have finished cleaning, press
PLAY to start playing.
25-cm records must be started manually: First
press <TURN on the Beogram 6500. Then gently
guide the tonearm to the edge of the record and
start playing as usual.
Setting speed
The Beogram 6500 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.
You can set the speed manually if, for instance,
you want to play an EP. Press PLAY and then 45 or
33, whichever is appropriate. You can change the
speed at any time during play.
Pausing
Press either <TURN or ЛЕТ» 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 PLAY to lower the tonearm and
continue playing.
If you don’t resume playing within approximately
8 minutes, the Beogram 6500 will automatically
revert to stand-by.

without touching the tonearm, you can
move the tonearm to any position on the
record you like and resume playing
from there.
Press <TURN to move the tonearm
towards the end of the record, or press
LIFT> to move the tonearm towards the
beginning of the record.
Keep <TURN or LIFT> depressed until
you find the point at which you want to
start playing. Then release the button
and press PLAY.
During this procedure a tiny beam of light will
illuminate the record to help you find the right
spot.
Stop playing
_ Press @ to stop playing.
The tonearm will rise and return to its
resting position, and the record player
will revert to stand-by.
If you keep ® depressed for more than two
seconds, a connected Beomaster 6500 will also
switch to stand-by mode.
Repeating a record
You can, if you like, make the record
player play a record up to seven times
in a row.
Press PLAY once to start playing. Then
press PLAY again the number of times
you want the record to be repeated.
If you have given the record player a repeat
instruction, the speed indicator will flash on and
off.
If you use <TURN, LIFT> or 0, 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 cartridge towards the front.
Any stylus cleaning fluid should be used in
moderate amounts.
Surfaces
Wipe off dust with a soft, dry cloth. Use
a soft 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 part
of the record player.
