11. GND CONNECTION: Ground wire connection post. In most cases you need to install a
wire between the GND connection on the turntable and the corresponding GND
connector on the DJ-mixer. When you forget to make this connection you may
encounter problems with humming noises.
12. PHONO OUTPUT: Connect the turntable to any phono input, using the supplied
cinch/cinch cable.
13. TONE ARM: This is a fully manual S-shaped tone arm. To start playback, gently place
the stylus on the record using the head shell finger support. Do not drop the stylus onto
the record as this may cause damage to the diamond tip and to the record.
14. COUNTERWEIGHT: Use the counterweight to balance the tone arm and to adjust the
stylus pressure. For the correct stylus pressure, please refer to the user manual of your
cartridge.
Setting up the stylus pressure:
Make sure the cartridge is well fitted
and its needle protector is removed.
Put a record on the platter and make
sure the anti-skate is set to zero. Put
the tone arm lever in "down" position.
Take the tone arm and turn the
counter- weight until the tone arm is
in perfect balance It floats
horizontally above the record
surface, see "OK" picture at the right.
Now set the "stylus pressure ring"
(front section of the counterweight with markings) to zero by turning the ring while
you take care that the counterweight doesn't move. Next, turn the complete
counterweight clockwise until the "stylus pressure ring" indicates the correct needle
pressure. Don't forget to put the anti-skate back in place.
15. ANTI-SKATE KNOB: When a record is playing, side forces are generated, pushing the
stylus towards the center or the outside of the record. You can use the anti-skate knob
to offset this force and keep the needle centered in the groove. For standard playback
simply turn the anti-skate knob to the same number as the stylus pressure reads in
grams. (Stylus pressure = 3gr. anti-skate = 3)
16. TONE ARM LIFT: Controls the up and down action of the tone arm.
17. TONE ARM CLAMP & REST: Use this rest for the tone arm while changing a record.
Attach the tone arm to the rest using the clamp when the turntable is not used or when
it is transported. This prevents the tone arm from accidentally turning towards the
platter and damaging the needle of the cartridge.
18. HEAD SHELL LOCKING NUT: Attach
the head shell by inserting it into the
front end of the tone arm and then turn
the locking nut clockwise.
19. HEAD SHELL: Install the cartridge
here. When installing a cartridge, refer to the installation instructions supplied by the
manufacturer of that cartridge. During installation, attach the stylus protector to guard
the stylus tip from damage.
Attach wires as follows:
White (L+) Left channel +
Blue (L-) Left channel -
Red (R+) Right channel +
Green (R-) Right channel -
