TONEARM SETUP

1.
Begin by rotating the counterweight
counter-clockwise until it is in the
complete forward position (NOTE:
this is also the maximum amount of
pressure that can be applied to the
cartridge.)
2.
Now there should be a feeling of
weight and resistance when the head
shell is raised and lowered. Begin
rotating the counterweight clockwise
(away from the pivot point) until the
weight and resistance feeling is
gone. If done properly, the tone arm
will pivot with very little resistance
back and forth indicating that there is
exactly 0 grams of stylus pressure.
3.
With the counterweight in its new
position further away from tone arm pivot point, grasp the scale ring of the counter weight and rotate it until "0"
is in the vertical position.
4.
Finally, rotate the counterweight (and scale ring) counter-clockwise (towards the pivot point) until the desired
amount of weight is reached. If the scale rotates 360 degrees beyond the zero point, the new scale ring reading
should be added to 3.5.
*The included head shell and cartridge assembly requires a minimum of 3 grams and no more than 5 grams for
optimum performance.
Setting the Anti-Skate Adjustment
In most cases, the Anti-Skate should be set to its minimum setting. Anti-Skate compensates for inward tracking forces
that occur with certain cartridges when the stylus nears the center of the record. If the turntable is experiencing
excessive skipping while nearing the center spindle, try increasing the Anti-Skate in the increments indicated on the
dial. Start by adding an increment of 1, test its performance, then increase it more, and so on.
IMPORTANT
Make sure that the felt slipmat is always placed on top of the platter while using the turntable. Failure to use
the slipmat may cause damage to your media as well as damage to the turntable.
Please remove the plastic cartridge cover (needle cover) before operating the turntable.
The tonearm needs to be moved away from resting position (arm clip) for the turntable motor to activate.

PLATTER SETUP

WARNING: Incorrect Platter setup can lead to poor turntable performance, platter instability or permanent motor damage.
1.
Start by placing the rubber drive belt around the inner bottom ring of the turntable platter. This should come
preinstalled, but check to make sure that it is not twisted or damaged.
2.
Install the platter on the center spindle and press it down firmly. Check to make sure that it rotates uniformly
and does not wobble excessively.
3.
Rotate the platter so that the one of the holes is aligned with the Start Stop button on the front corner of the
turntable. The brass motor spindle should be visible through this hole.
4.
Reach into the hole and pull the rubber drive belt off of the inner ring, and install it over the motor spindle. Be
careful not to twist the rubber drive belt during this step. Check to make sure the platter rotates uniformly. If the
drive belt is properly installed, there should be a slight amount of tension that brings the platter to a stop after
spinning it freely.
