Quick start - Set-up
1. Install the Lid carefully over the hinge prongs.
2. Install the drive belt over the inner ring under the platter and
make sure it won’t fall off during the setup. Place the platter
through the turntable spindle,
then rotate the platter until you
see the drive motor pulley
through the window at the top
left corner. Carefully grab the
drive belt and put it around the
slot of motor pulley.
3. Connect the power adapter to
the turntable and power on the turntable.
4. Set the Motor Start/Stop switch to the Start position to see if
the platter motor spins. If the platter does not spin, try the
steps listed above again.
5. Place the slipmat on the platter.
6. For cartridge down force adjustment use the counterweight
supplied in the box. Gently push and turn the counterweight
onto the arm tube stub. Lower the arm lift and position the
cartridge in the space between arm rest and platter.
Carefully rotate the counterweight until the arm tube
balances out. The arm should return to the balanced
position if it is moved up or down. This adjustment must be
done carefully. Do not forget to remove the cartridge
protection cap if fitted.
7. Once the tonearm is correctly balanced return it to its rest.
Hold the counterweight without moving it, and gently rotate the
down force scale ring until the zero is in line with black line on
the rear of the tonearm. Check whether the arm still balances
out.
8. Rotate the counterweight counter clockwise (seen from the
front) to adjust the down force. One mark on the scale
represents 0.05g of down force. The recommended down
force for the factory fitted cartridge is 3.0±0.5g.
9. For connecting the TT to anamplifier: This turntable uses a
moving magnetic cartridge and has a RIAA amplifier built in. If
you are using a separate phono input or phono amplifier, set the
RIAA ON/OFF Switch on the back to OFF mode. For
connection all other inputs (AUX, Video, CD etc.) set the
RIAA Switch to ON.
