6. Finally, from this “0” reference position, grasp BOTH parts of the counter weight and black number ring
and rotate the weight counter-clockwise so that the “2.5” marking on the dial is in the 12 o’clock
position.
This will set the tone arm to 2.5 grams of downward force, the recommended tracking weight
for this needle (cartridge).
Note:
The counter weight adjusts the pressure of the needle. If the pressure is too much, the sound will
become distorted. If the pressure is too little, track skipping will happen more frequently. At this point,
turning the balance weight very slightly clockwise or counter-clockwise can make any fine-tuning
adjustments.
Listening to a Vinyl Record
1. Make sure the Counter Weight is Set properly before playing a record.
2. Place a vinyl record on the turntable. When playing a 45 RPM record, use the included adaptor.
3. Select the appropriate speed by pressing either the 33 or 45 button; the corresponding LED indicator
will light up.
Note:
To set the turntable speed for 78 RPM, press the 33 and 45 RPM buttons simultaneously.
4. Remove the tone arm rest holder to release the tone arm.
Note:
Make sure to remove the White plastic needle guard.
5. Move the tone arm gently to the edge of the record (or the starting point of a track). Then press the
START/STOP button to start playing.
6. At the end of the record, the turntable will not stop rotating unless you press the START/STOP button
again. Lift and return the tone arm to the tone arm rest manually. Lock the tone arm rest holder to
protect the tone arm.
Note
: After approximately 20 minutes, if you do not press the START/STOP button, the turntable will
stop rotating automatically.
Important:
- Closing the top cover will help prevent dust from settling on the turntable.
- Always relock the tone arm clip before transporting the unit.
- Do not place anything on top of the turntable cover, especially while playing a record.
