Mount the phono cartridge.
If
you don’t experience mounting phono cartridges,
we recommend that you have your cartridge mounted by an experienced
technician.
All cartridges with half inch mounting holes can be fitted. Leaving the stylus guard on, fit
the cartridge to the head shell (2) using the screws supplied with the cartridge by
passing one screw through each slot in the head shell (2). Snug the nuts.
Connect the tonearm (3) wires to the cartridge pins as follows:
white left channel positive (L+)
red
right channel pos. (R+)
green right channel return (R -)
blue left channel return (L -)

The MMF-11 comes with 3 counterweights. You may need to experiment with one
or more to find the correct counterweight for use with your cartridge. Place the
counterweight (8) onto the tonearm (3). To do this, position yourself in front of the
turntable. Hold the counterweight (8) so that the numbers are nearer you. Carefully,
screw the counterweight (8) counterclockwise onto the back of the tonearm (3).

Remove the tonearm-locking strap. Place it in a safe position for possible future
transport.

Make sure the tonearm (3) is in the tonearm rest (4). Carefully, remove the stylus
guard (if your cartridge has one). Save the guard for future use.

You will now set the stylus tracking force. For demonstration purposes let’s assume
we are setting a stylus tracking force of 1.75g. Please note; the tracking force scale
(8a) on the counterweight (8) has no decimal point. 10 on the tracking force scale
(8a) is actually 1.0 g. 15 is actually 1.5g, etc. 1.75 g is between 17 and 18g on the
scale (8a). To set the tracking force you must first balance (zero) the tonearm (3).
The objective of balancing or zeroing the tonearm is to get the tonearm to float
parallel to the platter.
First,
lower the tonearm lift lever
(5).
Using your left hand, lift, position, and hold the tonearm (3) between the tonearm
rest (4) and the platter (15). To avoid damage, be careful not to allow the cartridge
to contact the plinth (the turntable base).
With your free hand turn the counterweight counterclockwise or clockwise until the
tonearm (3) floats freely, without the aid of your hand, in mid-air and parallel to the
platter. Don't worry about the number on the tracking force scale (8a), you will soon
