User Manual

NOTE: If your amplifier does not have an input suitable for phono cartridges, you will need
to purchase a separate phono amplifier for moving magnetic cartridges. This separate phono
amplifier will then connect between your turntable and your amplifier.
If you are unfamiliar or uncomfortable with completing this procedure, we recommend
consulting with a professional to perform the installation.
Useful Tips
The turntable should be positioned on a low-resonance surface such as wood or multiple
layer ply board to avoid structural vibrations disturbing playback.
Maintenance and Cleaning
Cartridge Replacement
Your turntable requires little of no regular maintenance. Remove dust with a slightly
damp antistatic cloth. Never use a dry cloth, this will create static electricity and
attract more dust!
Antistatic cleaning agents are available at specialist stores, but must be applied
sparingly to avoid damage to rubber parts. It is recommended to install the needle
cover before cleaning or maintenance is carried out to avoid damage.
If the turntable is not used over a long period of time, the drive belt should be
removed to prevent unequal stretching.
1. Before replacement, put the stylus protector back on the stylus to prevent damage
to the stylus during the replacement process.
2. Carefully remove the wire leads from the original cartridge.
3. Loosen the two screws on the headshell that are securing the cartridge and then
remove the original cartridge.
4. Mount the new cartridge to the headshell and tighten it lightly. Do not completely
tighten the screws at this moment.
5. Connect the wire leads to the new cartridge’s terminals. The wire lead color codes
are as below:
White Left channel positive (L+)
Black Left channel negative (L–)
Red Right channel positive (R+)
Black Right channel negative (R-)
Cartridge Replacement
6. Adjust the cartridge’s position to make sure it is precisely aligned on the headshell so
that the stylus will be tracking the grooves in parallel perfectly.
To achieve this, place the included paper cartridge alignment protractor over theturnta-
ble spindle, carefully lift the tone arm and place the tip of the stylus on the points marked
130mm and 250mm respectively. Fine tune the cartridge’s position on the headshell until
the cartridge is perfectly in parallel with the reference lines at both points.
7. Tighten the screws completely once the perfect alignment is achieved.
