loosen.
•
Position the Counterweight so the Tonearm
floats in a position between down and up.
•
Gently slide the Counterweight towards the
Tonearm Pivot Point so the stylus will rest on
your Stylus Tracking Force Pressure Scale
Gauge.
•
Make fine adjustments to the Counterweight
until the desired Tracking Force is achieved.
The recommended setting for the included
Sumiko Olympia Cartridge is 2.0 grams.
Other cartridges may differ.
•
Tighten the Allen Wrench Screw by turning
clockwise with the Medium Allen Wrench.
Installing the Belt
The Belt must be installed around the Pulley and
the Platter. The Pulley has two speed positions for
the Belt (Figures 12 and 13 on page 9). The
wider position is 45 rpm and the position above is
for 33 rpm. To install the Belt:
•
Place the Belt below the 45 rpm groove
towards the bottom of the Pulley.
•
Using two hands, pull the Belt outward
following a path beyond the outer edge of the
Platter in each direction keeping the Belt as
level as you can.
•
With the Belt pulled beyond the diameter of
the Platter, rest the Belt on the Platter edge
furthest from the Pulley and gently release the
Belt so it rests on the Platter’s edge on both
sides of this point.
• Lift the Belt to the proper position on the
Pulley.
•
Turn the Platter to automatically level the
Belt.
Record Clamps?
Record clamps are used by some to reduce
vibrations caused by records that are warped.
If you choose to use a record clamp, it is
recommended you do not use a heavy one. Some
may think heavier is better, but excess weight will
put added strain on the spindle and bearing of the
MTI100, and there is no real benefit to doing this.
Effective lighter options exist in the world if you
wish to employ record clamps.
Playing a Record
• Place a record on the record mat on top of the
platter.
•
The record should be clean(ed) using your
preferred method.
•
Select the Phono (PH) Input using the Input
Knob or Remote Control.
•
Press the Input Knob to start the motor and turn
the platter. Note the Input Knob will only turn
on the motor with PH selected.
• Place Tonearm Lift in the up position which is
with the lever facing up.
• Release the Tonearm from the Tonearm Rest
and place it above the start of the record.
•
When positioned at the desired point, pull the
Tonearm Lift towards you, lowering the Stylus
onto the record.
End of the Record
•
When the Stylus reaches the end of the record,
lift the Tonearm by the handle and place it back
in the Tonearm Rest.
•
To stop the motor from spinning the platter,
push the Input Knob or switch to another input.
