ENGLISH
The Inner Platter is factory aligned and should be level with the sub-plinth. Carefully place the outer platter the
right way up on the inner platter and observe the gap between the under side of the outer platter and the top
surface of the sub-plinth. First look from the front of the record player and then from the side. The alignment of
the platter is achieved by adjusting the Main Bearing fixing screws. There are 3 fixing screws and
tightening/slackening these will tilt the axis of the main bearing and hence the platter level.
Platter level adjustment ensures correct azimuth between the platter/record and tonearm head-shell.
If any adjustment is required, you must first adjust the LEFT to RIGHT and then the FRONT to BACK. See
below:
PLEASE NOTE THE FIXING BOLT HEADS ARE NOT VISIBLE FROM THE SIDE GAP
Use a 2.5mm A/F Allen Key to adjust the Main Bearing Fixing Screws. Looking from the front adjusting the front
two screws will tilt the platter assembly LEFT to RIGHT as shown above. DO NOT over tighten or slacken the
fixing screws too much. Correct tension is to have the screws tightened by 1-1.5 turn after they have come into
contact with the sub-plinth. So when adjusting, slacken one a little and tighten the other a little. Adjustment of
these two screws will change the FRONT to BACK level. So you need to check the front to back level after
adjusting the left to right level. See below:
