Assembly
@ Installing the turntable platter
1. Place the platter on the center spindle.
Note:
In our direct drive system, the motor's rotor-magnet is
attached to the underside of the platter. Handle the platter
carefully during assembly and be sure the rotor-magnet
does not get dusty or attract iron filings.
Do not remove or loosen the rotor-magnet screws.
Tampering with the rotor-magnet may interfere with
motor performance. (Fig. 1)
2. Place the turntable mat on the platter.
Note:
After placing the mat on the platter, turn the platter
clockwise about ten full rotations by hand.
This is necessary to assure correct operation of the
automatic mechanism.
@ Attaching the headshell (Fig. 2)
Insert the headshell plug into the end of the tonearm and turn
the locking sleeve clockwise (viewed from the rear) while
holding the headshell horizontal.
@ Attaching the counterweight (Fig. 3)
Fit the weight onto the rear end of the tonearm.
™@ Balancing the tonearm and adjusting stylus
pressure (tracking force)
1. Remove the stylus protector.
Be careful not to touch the stylus tip.
2. Release the arm clamp and lift the tonearm away from the
arm rest.
3. Turn the counterweight clockwise or counterclockwise
until the tonearm is balanced horizontally so it floats
freely. (Figs 4 and 5)
Note:
(A): Weight advanced too much. Move backward.
(B): Weight not advanced enough. Move further.
(C): Properly balanced.
While balancing the tonearm, be careful not to let the
stylus contact the turntable mat or base.
4. After balancing the tonearm, clamp the tonearm into the
arm rest.
5. While holding the counterweight stationary, rotate the
weight ring so that the "0" on the ring scale is lined up
with the center line on the tonearm shaft. (Fig. 6)
This completes tonearm balancing (horizontal zero
balance).
6. Turn the counterweight in the direction of the arrow so
that the weight ring shows the correct stylus pressure
number lined up with the center line. (Fig. 7)
(1.75 g is the recommended stylus pressure for this car-
tridge.)
When the counterweight is turned, the weight ring moves
with it. Stylus pressure is indicated by the number on the
scale aligned with the center line.
Note:
Set the stylus pressure to the maximum recommended
value for your cartridge in cases where the record has an
extremely high recording level, or where the unit is
operated in a room at low temperature, or in places in
which the unit is subjected to vibrations.
(Maximum stylus pressure is 2 g for this cartridge.)
@ Adjusting the anti-skating control (Fig. 8)
Set the anti-skating control to the same value as the stylus
pressure.
@ Attaching the dust cover (Fig. 9)
Hold both sides of the cover and lower it into the hinge
slots. To remove the cover, open it and pull upward.
Note:
Opening or closing the cover during play may cause
vibrations and groove skipping.
lf you must open the cover during play, do so very gently.
