3. Set the turntable platter onto the center spindle.

5. Installation of cartridge:
When installing a cartridge, refer to the operating instructions of that cartridge.
During installation, attach the stylus protector to guard the stylus tip from damage.
(a) Connect the lead wires to the cartridge terminals. The terminals of most cartridges are color-coded.
Connect each lead wire to the terminal of the same color.

(b) Install the cartridge to the headshell and tighten it with screws provided with the cartridge.
6. Insert the headshell into the front end of the tonearm, then turn the lock nut counterclockwise with the
headshell firmly held horizontally.
7. Slide counterweight onto tonearm. Twist it lightly and it will screw onto the rear shaft of the tonearm.
8. Adjustment of horizontal “zero” balance and stylus pressure:
(a) Remove the stylus protector from the headshell, do not touch the stylus tip during the adjustment.
(b) Set the cueing lever to the lowered position.
(c) Release the tonearm clamp and lift the tonearm from the arm rest to free it.
(d) Rotate the counterweight until the tonearm is approximately balanced horizontally (floats freely).
(e) Refasten the tonearm with the tonearm clamp.
(f) Hold the counterweight stationary with one hand and rotate only the stylus-pressure ring to bring the
number "0" of the ring into alignment with the center line on the tonearm rear shaft.
(g) Rotate the counterweight including the stylus-pressure ring counterclockwise until the scale shows the
value corresponding to the pressure of the stylus used. Should you use a separate Stylus, please
follow the manufacturer’s instructions.
9. Set the anti-skating control knob to the same value as the stylus pressure.
10. Install the
transparent
dust cover to the main unit’s dust cover hinges.
Do not place the unit in a location where it will be exposed to direct sunlight or near a heating appliance.
Do not place the unit in a location where there is high humidity or a lot of dust.
Cartridge may pick up slight sound pressures or vibrations of the speakers coming along the floor or through
the air resulting in feedback or “howling” sound. Find a location which is very stable and vibration free.
The legs have functions for adjusting the height of the unit itself. Adjust the legs to stabilize the
main body horizontally.
