Cartridge downforce adjustment
The counterweight (8) supplied is suitable for cartridges weighing between 3 - 7g (weight no.
81
). The
counterweight is pre-set perfectly from the factory.
In case you need to set the tracking force, please read following instructions:
Place the stylus pressure gauge onto the platter
.
To adjust the amount of pressure, carefully move the
counterweight along the support rod, until the stylus pressure is sufficient to raise the pressure gauge
to the level position. Moving the counterweight away from the cartridge will reduce pressure and
towards will increase pressure. Finally secure the counterweight using hexagonal key provided.
If the stylus gauge becomes level, then the correct pressure has been achieved. However if the there is
insufficient or excessive pressure the gauge will either not move or tilt down.
Connection to the amplifier
The record player has gold plated female RCA phono sockets (14) and possibility to choose between
PHONO and LINE output. With LINE OUT on, you can use a line input (such as AUX, CD, Tuner, Tape or
Video) on your amplifier. With PHONO OUT on, you can use your own PHONO Pre-amplifier (sometimes
labelled gram, disc or RIAA).
Take care to connect the left and right channels correctly. The right channel is usually marked red, the
left channel black or white. Check the manual supplied with your amplifier for relevant information.
The earthing wire of the tonearm lead should be connected to the earth terminal on your amplifier (if
provided).
