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 during back-cueing and scratching 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.

Remove the plastic cartridge cover (needle cover) before operating the turntable.

MOUNTING THE DUST COVER

1. Attach the included dust cover mounts to the turntable.

2. Attach the dust cover to the mounts as shown in illustration on the left.
