SETTING UP & CONNECTIONS
Remove the turntable from its packaging and un-pack all supplied accessories, ensuring the contents of your package matches with the 'Designation'
list above. Place the turntable on a level surface. Ideally the turntable will be installed on a hi-fi rack or on a resonance-free base, such as a multiplex
or wooden panel.
Place the belt around the edge of the inner-ring, underneath the main platter.
1. Mount the Platter -1- onto the Record Platter Hub -3-. When installed, ensure the Drive Hub -2- is visible through one of the Platter's balance holes.
2. Reaching through the Platter balance hole, pull the Drivebelt -4- so it sits around the Drive Hub -2-. This will link the platter to the motor,
providing the drive-force for your turntable.
3. Place the supplied felt mat over the Turntable Hub -3-.
4. Place the Counterweight -16- onto the Tonearm -11-, in the middle of the Counterweight Rod -22-.
NOTE! The Counterweight Scale -15- has to face forward. (The Counterweight Scale is fixed to the Counterweight -16-.
5. Screw the Headshell with Pick-Up System -10- securely (hand-tight) into the Tonearm -11-. The pick-up cartridge is easy to exchange, if required (see below):
a) First loosen the fastening screw on the headshell and disconnect the cable of the supplied pick-up system.
b) Remove the old pick-up system from the headshell.
c) Now connect the leads of the pick-up system and observe the assignment of wires:
d) Tighten the fastening screws on the headshell.
6. Connect the included RCA cable to the Audio Output -17- and connect the cable to a phono input OR line input of your amplifier or HiFi sound system.
NOTE! The connection to a phono or line input depends on the setting of the Pre-amp On/Off Switch.
PRE-AMP OFF = phono input on your amplifier (or hi-fi system) or external phono stage
PRE-AMP ON = line input on your amplifier (or hi-fi system)
7. If needed, connect the USB cable to your computer for recordings. Please see the "USB Recording" section below for more information.
8. Connect the Power Supply Unit to its appropriate connection -20- and a power outlet.
OPERATION
1. Setting the Counterweight (Tracking-Force)
a) Remove the stylus guard from the cartridge, ensure the Anti-Skating Wheel -14- is set to '0' and set the Tonearm Lift -13- to the 'DOWN' position.
b) Guide the Tonearm -11- out of its rest and support it above the Record Platter -1-.
c) Adjust the Counterweight -16- forward or backward on the Counterweight Rod -22- the Tonearm -11- is balanced in a position where it
does not angle up or down, i.e. it should be balanced parallel to the Record Platter -1-. Then return the Tonearm -11- to its support -12-.
NOTE! Adjust the Counterweight -16- by turning it clockwise and counter-clockwise on the Counterweight Rod -22-.
This process will move the counterweight forward and backward on the Rod.
d) Set the Counterweight Scale -15- so that the '0' position is aligned with the marked line at the front of the Counterweight Rod -22-.
NOTE! At this stage you have set the tonearm so the cartridge has 0g tracking force. To confirm the arm is still balanced after adjusting the
scale, briefly remove the arm from its rest to confirm it still floats parallel to the Record Platter -1-. If it doesn't, repeat steps c) and d).
e) Rotate the Counterweight -16- clockwise (as you look from the front of the turntable), moving the weight forward until the scale indicates the
correct Tracking Force for your cartridge is aligned with the marked line at the front of the Counterweight Rod -22-. (For the Ortofon 2M Red,
he Recommended Tracking Force is 18 on the Counterweight Scale)
NOTE! Do not independently turn the Counterweight Scale -15- at this time. You need to turn the Counterweight -16- so the scale moves
proportionally to the weight's position.
2. Anti-Skating Wheel
Adjust the Anti-Skating Wheel -14- so that the setting directly matches Tracking Force of the fitted cartridge. For the Ortofon 2M Red, this would
be '1.8' on the wheel.
3. Selecting PRE-AMP ON/OFF & Turning on Power
Check the PRE AMP ON/OFF -6- position. Depending on your phono/line connection choice, the pre-amplifier should be turned on or off. After all
connections have been made and all settings have been adjusted you can turn the device on via the ON/OFF Button -5- and set your connected
amplifier to the relevant input.
4. Selecting the Start/Stop Automatism -9- (Auto-Stop On/Off)
Your turntable can be used either fully manual (Auto-Stop off) or with the help of the Start/Stop mechanism (Auto-Stop on). To set your prefe-
rence, Adjust the Auto-Stop On/Off Button -9- to your desired option.
Auto-Stop ON
Provided that the Drive Belt -4- has been installed correctly, the Platter -1- will start moving automatically once the Tonearm -11- is placed above
the outer-edge of the Platter. By returning the Tonearm -11- to the Tonearm Support -12- (starting position), the Platter's -1- motor rotation will
stop. The motor -2- will also stop automatically at the end of a record.
Auto-Stop OFF
Provided that the Drive Belt -4- has been installed correctly, the Platter -1- will constantly turn at the set speed when the ON/OFF Button -5- is
set to 'ON' and the Auto-Stop On/Off Button -9- is in the 'OFF' +position. To stop rotation, the ON/OFF Button -5- needs to be set to OFF.
5. Playback
a) Place a record on the felt mat that is placed on the Record Platter -1-.
b) Select the correct speed for your record via the 33/45/78 Switch -7- and remove the stylus guard from the Pick-Up System -10-
(if it has been re-attached since last use).
c) Set the Tonearm Lift -13- to the "UP" position and move the Tonearm -11- just above the run-in groove of the record.
d) Adjust the Tonearm Lift -13- to the "DOWN" position and the Tonearm -11- will lower gently onto the record.
e) To stop playback, Adjust the Tonearm Lift -13- back to the 'UP' position and the tonearm should gently lift back up.
