AMG VieIla V12 turntable
Installation and operating instructions
After opening the outer cardboard box you found this manual on top of the inner box.
It would be best to leave the inner box in the outer and open it there.
Please take off the first foam cover. Underneath you find the power supply, the pickup arm
(if you ordered one ), and the cable to the mains. All the screw drivers are in the tone arm
box.
Take all out and put it aside.
Tak e out all the foam, until you get to the turntable.
Now you can lift it out easily.
Please be careful the turntable is fairly heavy.
Place it on your rack. We recommend a granite plate to be put under the turntable.
The belt mounter together with two pieces of wood is in the bottom layer. In case you did not
order a tone arm, you will also find the screw drivers there.
Assembling:
Have a look at the spirit level in the plinth, if it indicates level no leveling action
is required.
If it is not level take out the next foam layer off the box.
You find the platter, the record clamp and a box with hex head screwdrivers.
In the plinth are three access holes to the steel spike screws.
One is located left of the pickup arm board, the other one down by the speed
selector-keys.
At a nine o clock position from the platter bearing is the third plug. Now you have access to
the three spike screws build in the center of the two feet and the left side of the platter-bearing
shroud.
Tak e the # 3 screwdriver and start with the spike in the bearing shroud. By turning the
spike screw clockwise lift the turntable a few millimeters of the granite plate. Now continue
with the two spike screws at the right side of the plinth until the your spirit level shows level.
Now take the pickup arm out of its wooden box.
If you have ordered it together with a pickup cartridge it is all ready set at the factory and the
only thing you have to do is sliding it in the mounting bushing on the arm board and secure it
with the locking screw at the right of the bushing.
If you have the version with two cinch connecters at the right hand rear of the plinth then
there is a connector installed in your arm board, which is fixed with a screw at the right side
of the arm board. The thin wires from the cinch connecters are soldered to this connector in
the arm board. Slide your tone arm carefully into the bushing on the arm board and push it
into the connector. Tighten the locking screw at the right side of the bushing. If you need to
hight adjust your tone arm, you have to loosen the screw in the bushing and the screw in the
arm board!
If your phono cable connects direct into the arm, route it through the square opening in the
wooden frame and plug it into the arm post.
If you ordered the version without wooden frame the cable goes direct to the arm post.
If you ordered the arm with flying leads coming out of the shaft, you have to solder them to
your connectors.
