All cartridges with half inch mounting holes can be fitted. Leaving the stylus guard on, fit
the cartridge to the head shell (21) using the screws supplied with the cartridge by
passing one screw through each slot in the finger lift and the head shell (21). Snug the
nuts.
Connect the tonearm (9) wires to the cartridge pins as follows:
white left channel positive (L+)
red right channel pos. (R+)
green right channel return (R -)
blue left channel return (L -)
To achieve the best sound reproduction, the cartridge must be positioned precisely in
the head shell. To do this, fit the tangency guide (you'll find this in the parts bag. It's a
white rectangular piece of cardboard with black lines) over the spindle at point 'A’ and
onto the platter, black lines side up (See diagram below). Remove the stylus guard.
Move the tonearm (adjusted for the correct tracking force of your cartridge) to the
pattern. When the stylus tip of the cartridge is at points 130mm and 240mm, 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 Supplied cartridge H cartridge has been
properly set at the factory. To adjust the VTA for other cartridges, lay a record on the
platter (5). Slacken the horizontal adjustment screws (two Allen screws located near
the plinth on the back of the tonearm pillar) with the Allen Key provided.
IMPORTANT.
Do not loosen the vertical screws that hold the anti skate arm to the base.
Move the tonearm (9) up or down until it is parallel to the record surface when viewed
from the side. Tighten the horizontal adjustment screws.
VTA like Tracking Force can also be set by ear. Feel free to experiment with VTA
positions slightly above or below parallel and choose the position you prefer.
If you have any further questions regarding the adjustment of your turntable, please
contact your music hall dealer.
Azimuth Adjustment: Azimuth is the angle of the stylus to the record groove. Viewed
from head-on, you want the stylus to be perpendicular to the record groove so as to not
favor one channel over the other. Keep in mind that azimuth is properly set at the
