MAINS POWER CONNECTION The turntable is supplied with a power supply suitable for your country's mains supply. Check the label before connecting to ensure compliance with the mains rating in your house.

A small screw at the bearing end of the arm allows incorrect azimuth to be corrected. Slacken off the screw just enough to be able to revolve the arm tube without applying force. Note! Do not remove this screw completely! 12.
