    1Fit the turntable and turntable mat.
    Put the turntable on the center spindle and then lay the mat
    on top.
    •Be very careful when putting the turntable on the main unit.
      The magnet on the bottom of the turntable is finely adjusted
    and sharp contact can cause it to move and lead to poor
    operation. Ensure the magnet remains free from dust and
    iron particles.
    •Do not adjust the screws attaching the magnet to the turn-
    table. The rated performance of the unit cannot be guaran-
    teed if the magnet is moved.
    2Attach the head shell.
    Fit the head shell into the tone arm, keep it horizontal and
    tighten the locking nut.
    3Attach the balance weight to the rear
    of the tone arm.
    If the cartridge weighs between 10 and 13 grams, attach the
    included auxiliary weight to the main balance weight.

    •Do not connect the AC power supply cord until set up is complete.
    •Leave the dust cover off until set up and adjustments are com-
    plete.
    1. Connect the PHONO earth lead and stereo PHONO
    cables to the amplifier PHONO terminals.
      White  (L)
    Stereo connection cable
      Red  (R)
    •If the earth lead isn’t connected, a hum will be heard from the
    AC power source.
    •You will not have adequate volume or sound quality if connect-
    ing to an amplifier that has no PHONO terminals.
    2. Connect the AC power supply cord.
    •Connect this cord only after all other connections are complete.
    •Confirm the wattage of AC outlets on amplifiers and receivers
    before using them for this unit. This unit consumes 14.5 W.

    Preparatory adjustments
    Using the balance weight control
    Make note of the balance weight setting for your stylus cartridge,
    you can quickly change the stylus pressure without having to re-
    adjust the horizontal balance of the arm each time you remove and
    re-attach the stylus cartridge.
     Attach the cartridge to the tone arm you are using. Turn the balance weight control to the setting you previously
    used to balance the weight including cartridge.
     Turn the stylus pressure control dial to the setting you previ-
    ously used to balance the weight including cartridge.
    Anti-skating
    Adjust the dial to the same value as the stylus pressure
    control when playing normal music.
    For scratch play
    Adjust the control to reduce skipping.
    Armlift height
    Preparation1. Put a record on the turntable.
    2. Take off the stylus cover and release the arm clamp.
    Use a screwdriver to turn the armlift screw.
    Make this adjustment only if the cartridge you are using makes it
    necessary.
    •Turning the screw clockwise lowers the armlift.
    •Turning the screw anti-clockwise raises the armlift.
    Armlift height (the distance between the record and stylus when the
    cue lever is raised) is set to between 8 and 13 millimeters at time of
    shipment.
    Tone arm height
    1. Release the arm lock.
    2. Adjust the arm height.
    •Adjust the ring using the chart
    below as reference so the arm
    height matches the indicated
    height of the cartridge. Mea-
    surements are marked on the
    arm height control ring in 0.5
    millimeter intervals.
