GETTING STARTED Thank you for purchasing the music hall mmf-5.1 turntable. The music hall mmf-5.1 turntable is a 2-speed, belt driven turntable with many singular features. It has an original and unique 2-plinth design with six viso-elastic cones separating the bottom platform from the top. This gives the turntable an extra level of isolation.
SET-UP The music hall mmf-5.1 is supplied partially disassembled and carefully packaged for safe transport. To assemble the turntable, please follow the instructions carefully. 1. Clear a level (use a spirit level) and suitable workspace to assemble the turntable. This may be the final playing location. 2. Remove the turntable and all parts from the carton. 3. Remove the 3 transport screws (1) from the turntable and save for future use. 4.
1.75 g is between 17 and 18g on the scale (6a). To set the tracking force you must first balance (zero) the tonearm (9). The objective of balancing or zeroing the tonearm is to get the tonearm to float parallel to the platter. First, lower the cueing lever (7). Using your left hand, lift, position, and hold the tonearm (9) between the tonearm rest (8) and the platter (5). To avoid damage, be careful not to allow the cartridge to contact the plinth (the turntable base).

Slip the looped end of the fishing line over the antiskating rod (15) and into notch number 2 (See diagram below). Lift the anti-skating weight (16) over the anti-skating hanger (17) and feed the fishing string through the looped end of the anti-skating hanger (17). The anti-skating weight (16) should now be dangling in free space to the left of the hanger.
Move the tonearm (9) (adjusted for the correct tracking force of your cartridge) to the pattern. When the stylus tip of the cartridge is at points 130mm and 250mm, the front of the cartridge should be parallel to the lines on the pattern. If necessary, slide the cartridge back and forth until the stylus tip is positioned correctly. Tighten the cartridge mounting screws. VTA Adjustment: The VTA for the installed Goldring cartridge has been properly set at the factory.
You may need to go back and forth a couple of times to achieve the best setting. Please note that small changes in azimuth make a big difference in the sound. *Save all packing materials, parts, and screws for possible future transport* SITING FLOOR MOUNTING - Place the deck on a small, light, rigid table, e.g., coffee table. Ensure that the table is level on the floor and not rocking.
