Dual CS 329 Fully Automatic Turntable with Built-In Preamp FAQs

Does the CS 329 require a separate phono preamp?

The CS 329 has a built-in, switchable phono preamp, so you can connect it to a line-level input on powered speakers or a stereo receiver.

How do I change between 33 and 45 RPM speeds?

There’s a manual speed selector switch. Use it to toggle between 33⅓ rpm (LPs) and 45 rpm (singles).

How should I clean and maintain the CS 329?

Use a soft, slightly damp microfiber cloth (or an anti-static vinyl brush) to clean records and the platter.
Petunjuk

Clean the stylus gently with a stylus brush or a drop of dedicated stylus cleaner.

Keep the dust cover closed when not in use to reduce buildup of dust.

What cartridge comes with the CS 329, and can I replace it later?

It ships with a pre-installed Audio-Technica AT91 moving-magnet cartridge. The tracking force is fixed, which means it's not designed for frequent cartridge swapping or heavy upgrades.
