Precautions

1. Read all  operating  instructions before using this equipment.

2. To   reduce   the   risk  of  electrical   shock, do not  open the unit. There

are NO USER REPLACEABLE PARTS INSIDE.  Please contact the
Gemini Service Department or your authorized dealer to speak to a
qualified service technician.

In the U.S.A., if you have any problems with this unit, call

1-732-969-9000 for customer service. Do not return

equipment to your dealer.

3. Tone arm bearings are factory set and sealed. Any attempt at

adjustment will void the warranty.

4. Be sure that all AC power is OFF while making connections.

5. Cables should be low capacitance, shielded and of proper length. Make

sure that all plugs and jacks are tight and properly connected.

6. Always begin with the audio level faders/volume controls set at

minimum and the speaker volume control(s) set to OFF. Wait 8 to 10
seconds prior to turning up the speaker volume to prevent the transient
“POP” that could result in speaker/crossover damage.

7. DO NOT EXPOSE THIS UNIT TO RAIN OR MOISTURE.

8. DO NOT USE ANY SPRAY CLEANER OR LUBRICANT ON ANY

CONTROLS OR SWITCHES.

Assembly and Set-Up

NOTE:  SEE FIG. 1 (PAGE 1) FOR PART NUMBERS AND
LOCATIONS.

TURNTABLE INSTALLATION:

1. Set the 

TURNTABLE BASE (1) 

on a flat, level surface free of vibration.

Try to place the unit as far away from the speakers as possible. Keep
the unit away from direct exposure to the sun, heat, moisture or dirt.
Keep the unit well ventilated. Use the turntable feet to horizontally
stabilize the unit.

2. Make sure that the 

VOLTAGE SELECTOR (3) 

switch (located on the

TURNTABLE BASE

) is set to the correct voltage. 

WARNING:

 If you try

to operate the turntable with the incorrect voltage setting, it can damage
your turntable.

3. After checking to ensure that all packing materials have been removed,

gently place the 

PLATTER (2)

 on the center spindle of the 

TURNTABLE

BASE (1)

.

4. Put the 

NEOPRENE MAT (4)

 on the 

PLATTER (2)

.

CARTRIDGE INSTALLATION:  (SEE FIG. 2)

Because all cartridges have their own designs, please refer to your
particular cartridge’s instructions to insure proper installation.
1. Connect the lead wires to the cartridge terminals. For your convenience,

the terminals of most cartridges are color coded. Connect each lead
wire to the terminal of the same color.

White (L+).................................................Left C
Blue (L-)...................................................Left Channel -
Red (R+).................................................Right C
Green (R-)..............................................Right Channel -

2. Mount the cartridge in the 

HEADSHELL (5)

 and tighten it with the

screws included with the cartridge.

ATTENTION STANTON 680 CARTRIDGE USERS

When using a Stanton 680 or similar cartridge, where the body
is grounded to a cartridge terminal, remove the grounding strap
from the cartridge body to the cartridge ground terminal. Failure
to do this may result in excessive hum.

HEADSHELL INSTALLATION:

Insert the 

HEADSHELL (5)

 into the front of the tubular 

TONE ARM (6)

.

While holding the 

HEADSHELL

 firmly in a horizontal position, turn the

LOCKING NUT (7)

 counter clockwise until the 

HEADSHELL

 is locked in

place.

COUNTERWEIGHT INSTALLATION: (SEE FIG. 3)

1. Slide the 

COUNTERWEIGHT (8)

 onto the rear of the 

TONE ARM (6)

with the numbered stylus gauge facing forward.

2. Twist the

 COUNTERWEIGHT (8) 

lightly counter clockwise, to screw it

onto the rear of the 

TONE ARM (6)

.

ADJUSTING HORIZONTAL ZERO (0) BALANCE AND
STYLUS PRESSURE:

1. Without touching the stylus tip, remove the stylus protector (if your

cartridge has a detachable one).

2. Release the 

ARM CLAMP (9)

 and lift the 

TONE ARM (6)

 off the 

ARM

REST (10)

.

3. Counter clockwise advancement of the 

COUNTERWEIGHT (8)

 will

cause the cartridge side of the 

TONE ARM (6)

 to be lowered. Clockwise

will cause the opposite. Turn the 

COUNTERWEIGHT

 clockwise or

counter clockwise as needed until the 

TONE ARM

 is balanced horizon-

tally. You can easily tell this by watching for the point where the 

TONE

ARM

 “floats” freely.

4. Place 

TONE ARM (6)

 on 

ARM REST (10)

 and lock it in place with the

ARM CLAMP (9)

.

5. With the 

TONE ARM (6)

 locked on the 

ARM REST (10)

, hold the

COUNTERWEIGHT (8)

 steady with one hand while rotating the 

STYLUS

PRESSURE RING (11)

 until the numeral “0” on the ring aligns with the

center line on the 

TONE ARM (6)

 rear shaft.  The horizontal zero (0)

balance should be completed.

6. Refloat the 

TONE ARM

 to ensure horizontal zero (0) balance. If zero

balance has not been maintained, repeat counterweight steps 3 - 5.

7. After adjusting the horizontal zero (0) balance, turn the balanced

COUNTERWEIGHT (8)

 counter clockwise until the cartridge

manufacturer’s recommend stylus pressure appears on the 

STYLUS

PRESSURE RING (11)

 where it meets the center line of the 

TONE ARM

(6)

 rear shaft.

ADJUSTING THE ANTI-SKATING CONTROL:

Set the 

ANTI-SKATING CONTROL (12)

 to the same value as the stylus

pressure.
