Some assembly is required before you can begin to use your new unit.
Please follow the assembly instruction below before attempting to use your new turntable.
Do not connect your turntable to a power outlet with the AC adaptor until you are finished with assembly.
Do not remove the twist tie for clamping the tone arm until assembly is completed.
PRECAUTIONS ON PLACEMENT:
1. Do not place the unit in a location where it will be exposed to direct sunlight or near any type of heating appliance.
2. Do not place the unit in a location where there is high humidity or a lot of dust.
3. Cartridge may pick up slight sound pressure or vibrations of nearby speakers. For best results, do not install this unit
too close to speakers.
4. Install this unit on a horizontal surface that is stable and vibration free.
5. The rubber feet have been specially designed to isolate the unit from excess vibration. The feet may also be used to
stabilize the main body horizontally.
ASSEMBLY
1. Remove the main unit with the packing from the box and remove the packing.
2. Set the turntable platter onto the center spindle.
VERY IMPORTANT!!
Do not forget to attach rubber belt to motor for correct operation. After placing the
Turntable Platter onto the turntable through the Center Spindle, move one of the large
windows on the Platter to top right corner. Attach rubber belt around motor. (Rubber belt is
already attached to the underside of the Turntable Platter.)
3. Set the slip mat on the platter.
4. Installation of cartridge:
When installing a cartridge, refer to the operating instructions of that cartridge.
During installation, attach the stylus protector to guard the stylus tip from damage.
(a) Connect the lead wires to the cartridge terminals. The terminals of most cartridges are color-coded.
Connect each lead wire to the terminal of the same color.

counterclockwise with the headshell firmly held horizontally.
6. Slide counterweight onto tone arm. Twist it lightly and it will screw onto the rear shaft of the tone arm.

Adjustment of horizontal “zero” balance and stylus pressure:
(a) Remove the stylus protector from the headshell, do not touch the stylus tip during the adjustment.
(b) Set the cueing lever to the lowered position.
(c) Release the tone arm clamp and lift the tone arm from the arm rest to free it.
(d) Rotate the counterweight until the tone arm is approximately balanced horizontally (floats freely).
(e) Refasten the tone arm with the tone arm clamp.
(f) Hold the counterweight stationary with one hand and rotate only the stylus-pressure ring to bring the number "0"
of the ring into alignment with the center line on the tone arm rear shaft.
(g) Rotate the counterweight including the stylus-pressure ring counterclockwise until the scale shows the value
corresponding to the pressure of the stylus used. Should you use a separate Stylus, please follow the correct
tracking force as specified by the m
anufacturer’s
instructions. The tracking force for the included cartridge is 3.0
grams.
