11. Counter Weight and Scale Ring: The Counterweight is used
to balance the head shell and cartridge assembly so that the
proper amount of stylus pressure is applied to the record.
12. Anti-Skate Adjustment: This knob is used to compensate for
inward tracking forces. See TONEARM SETUP for more details.
13. Arm Clip: This specially designed arm clip secures the tone
arm while at rest or when not in use. The arm clip has been
designed to remain in the up position while unlocked.
NOTE: When transporting the turntable, it is always
recommended that the headshell be removed and the arm clip
secured to prevent tonearm or turntable damage.
14. Tone Arm Lock Nut: This Aluminum nut is used to secure the
head shell and cartridge assembly to the tone arm tube. See
Cartridge Setup for more details.
15. Cartridge and Headshell: The cartridge is pre-mounted on a
standard headshell. The cartridge is user replaceable and
compatible with a variety of standard cartridges. Be sure to
remove the clear plastic cover before operating the turntable
from the cartridge.
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.
