Essential Setup
1. Place the unit on a flat and level surface. The selected location should be
stable and free from vibration.
2. Install the turntable lid to the hinges.
3. Remove the tie-wrap that is holding the tonearm.
4. Install the turntable platter.
5. Place the slip mat on top of the turntable platter.
6. Insert the
Headshell
into the socket at the front of the tonearm, and then turn
the
Headshell Locking Ring
counter-clockwise. As the ring turns, it pulls the
heashell into its seated position.
7. Slide
Tonearm Counterweight
onto tonearm and twist it lightly onto the rear
shaft of the tonearm.
8. Adjust the counterweight to set proper stylus pressure.
Note: Do not plug the AC power adaptor to power outlet before all the assembly is
completed. Before turning the power on, make sure again all the connection settings
are correct. Always turn off the power when connecting or disconnecting.
Tonearm Counterweight Adjustment for Stylus Pressure
1. Remove the stylus protector from the cartridge and avoid touching the stylus
tip during the adjustment.
2. Release the tonearm
Hold Down Clip
, gently hold the tonearm and move it
away from the
Tonearm Rest
. At this point, the tone arm is unbalanced and
free to swing.
3. While gently holding the tonearm, carefully rotate the
Counterweight
towards
the front of the turntable until the tonearm is horizontally balanced and hovers
freely just above the platter without the stylus touching the platter surface.
4. Return the tonearm to the
Tonearm Rest
and lock the
Hold Down Clip
.
5. While holding the counterweight steady without any rotation, rotate carefully
only the
Downforce Scale Dial
until the “0” on the scale lines up with the
centerline marked along the top of the tonearm.
6. Rotate the counterweight including the downforce scale dial counter-
clockwise (as seen from the front of the turntable) until the scale shows the
recommended pressure value for stylus.
Note: The recommended pressure for the factory-installed cartridge is 3.5+0.5g
