1. Attach the belt:
Turning the platter over, connect the belt to the
turntable drive. Place the platter on the spindle
and spin the platter until the belt position holes
(the two larger holes nearest to the belt) are
showing the motor drive shaft in the top right
corner. When this is exposed, carefully stretch
the belt around the shaft, ensuring that the belt
does not twist. The platter should still spin freely,
but with slightly more resistance than before.
2. Attach headshell.
From the accessory pack, which is stored in
the packaging, remove the complete headshell
including cartridge and stylus, and place onto
the tonearm. This is a two handed operation,
one to hold the headshell and the other to hold
the tonearm locknut. As you insert the headshell
into the end of the tonearm, twist the locknut
anticlockwise and you will feel the headshell
being drawn into the locknut, take care not to
over-tighten as this will cause damage to the
headshell.
3. Attaching the counter weight.
Remove the stylus protector, do not touch the
stylus tip during the adjustment, and set the
cueing lever to the lower position. Release the
arm clamp and lift the tonearm from the arm
rest to free it. Rotate the counterweight until the
tonearm is approximately balanced horizontally
(floats freely). Refasten the tonearm with the arm
clamp, 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 centre line on the tonearm
rear shaft. Rotate the counterweight clockwise
until the scale shows the value corresponding
to the pressure of the stylus used. The stylus
supplied with this system is rated at 3.5 grams.
It you use an alternative stylus/headshell
arrangement, then please follow the
manufacturer’s specified tracking weight.
4. Attach cover.
Position the protection cover over the hinges
found on the rear of the turntable, click these
into position. The cover should now freely close
onto the top of the turntable. It is advised that the
cover is lowered when not using the turntable.
