Warning of a hazard for the user, the unit or possible misuse Important notice The following instructions for adjusting the cartridge are provided in case the cartridge is replaced by a different model at a later date. During assembling and adjustment small parts could be lost if they are not carefully placed in a suitable receptacle. Before starting assembly make yourself acquainted with the parts listed above which are correspondingly numbered in the technical drawings above.
SETUP AND INSTALLATION 1. PLATTER AND DRIVE BELT ASSEMBLY Install the drive belt (5) and the main platter (1) as shown in following ilustration. 2. MOUNTING AND CONNECTING THE CARTRIDGE All cartridges with half inch mounting holes can be mounted. Leave the needle's protection cover on, fit the cartridge to the headshell by using the supplied screws by passing one screw through each slot in the headshell (12). Do not tighten the nuts yet.
4. ANTI-SKATING FORCE ADJUSTMENT Put the anti-skating thread hook over the anti-skating adjustment scale. The anti-skating force must be adjusted corresponding to the downforce as follows: Downforce Groove in the stub (15) 10 - 14mN 1st from bearing rings 15 - 19mN 20mN and bigger 2nd 3rd 5.
6. 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. Connect the low voltage plug from the power supply to the socket (20) on the rear of the record player before connecting the power supply to the mains. 7.
11. ADJUSTING THE AZIMUTH The cartridge needle must be vertical in the record groove in order to trace the groove wall modulations correctly. 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.
