Cartridge Replacement
1. Before replacement, put the stylus protector back on the stylus to prevent damage
to the stylus during the replacement process.
2. Carefully remove the wire leads from the original cartridge.
3. Loosen the two screws on the headshell that are securing the cartridge and then
remove the original cartridge.
4. Mount the new cartridge to the headshell and tighten it lightly. Do not completely
tighten the screws at this moment.
5. Connect the wire leads to the new cartridge
’s terminals .The wire lead color codes
are as below:
White
Left channel positive
(L+)
Black
Left channel negative (L
–)
Red
Right channel positive (R+)
Black
Right channel negative (R-)
6. Adjust the cartridge
’s position to make sure it is precisely aligned on the headshell
so that the stylus will be tracking the grooves in parallel perfectly.
To achieve this, place the included paper cartridge alignment protractor over the
turntable spindle, carefully lift the tone arm and place the tip of the stylus on the
points marked 130mm and 250mm respectively. Fine tune the cartridg
e’s position
on the headshell until the cartridge is perfectly in parallel with the reference lines at
both points.
7. Tighten the screws completely once the perfect alignment is achieved.
Azimuth Adjustment
The needle must be perpendicular to the record groove in order to
track the groove wall modulations correctly. In rare cases, if the factory
installation is not perfect, you can make below adjustment:
1. Use an Allen Wrench to loosen the screw located at the bearing
end of the tonearm just enough to loosen the arm tube.
Note: Do not remove the screw completely.
2. Gently rotate the tonearm until the needle is perpendicular to the
record surface.
Note: Make sure the needle tip is not touching the record when adjustment is being made or it
will cause damage to the needle and cantilever suspension.
3. Tighten the screw when adjustment is finished.
