Setting the Azimuth 

 

Set a fireplace match or coffee stirrer (something light and about 6” long) into the groove 
behind the mounting screws on the tonearm headshell.  

 

If it is not level, use the supplied Allen wrench to loosen the setscrew on the 
counterweight and rotate the counterweight around the shaft until the headshell is parallel 
to the record. Be careful not to change the tracking force setting. 

 

If you prefer you can rotate the azimuth ring to set azimuth instead of rotating the 
counterweight.

Playing Records 

Before playing a record, make sure that all of the tonearm screws are tight.  

Place the black washer on the platter, then the record, then the record clamp.  Always turn off 
the turntable before installing the record clamp. 

Press the power button on the motor. Sit down and enjoy listening to your records!
