Replacing a cartridge
Refer to the user manual for the cartridge that you will be using if you
are replacing the cartridge (AT-XP3) included with this product with
another, commercially available cartridge. After you replace the old
cartridge with a new one, you must readjust the overhang and the
tonearm’s balance and tracking force.
1. Release the headshell from the tonearm.
• Use the clamp to secure the tonearm and then remove the headshell
gently.
2. Remove the stylus from the cartridge.
3. Remove the lead tips.
• Be careful not to damage the lead tips.
4. Using a commercially sold, non-magnetic slotted screwdriver,
remove the installation screws, and then remove the cartridge
from the headshell.
5. Refer to the user manual for the new cartridge for mounting
instructions and connecting to the lead tips.
6. Using a commercially sold, non-magnetic slotted screwdriver,
tighten the screws in both places, and then adjust the overhang.
• After the adjustments are complete, tighten the screws securely.
7. Attach the headshell to the tonearm.
8. Adjust the tonearm’s height.
• Refer to “Adjusting the tonearm’s height” below while doing the
adjustments.
9. Adjust the tonearm balance and tracking force.
• Refer to “Setting tonearm balance” and “Setting tracking force” on p.8.
Adjusting the tonearm’s height
When installing a cartridge other than the one provided, you must
maintain a suitable distance between the cartridge and the surface of
the record. Place the stylus on the record and confirm that the tonearm
is parallel to the record’s surface. If it is not parallel, adjust the height
of the tonearm.
1. Rotate the tonearm height lock to loosen the tonearm’s anchor.
2. Rotate the tonearm height adjustment dial and adjust the
tonearm’s height.
3. After the adjustments are complete, rotate the tonearm height
lock to set the tonearm.
When the turntable is moved
Using the product’s original packing materials, wrap the turntable in
the reverse order from when you unwrapped it. If you do not have the
packaging materials, take the following measures:
• After unplugging the power cable plug from the outlet, remove the
platter, and then wrap it so that it does not get damaged. If the product
is moved while the platter is still seated, it may damage the spindle.
• Fix the tonearm with the clamp.
• Remove the counterweight.
• Remove the headshell from the tonearm with the cartridge’s protector
attached, and then wrap the entire headshell assembly so that it does
not get damaged.
• Wrap the turntable body with a soft cloth so that it does not get
damaged.
