stylus or cut the cartridge’s wires.
2. With the headshell inserted, turn the locking ring
counterclockwise (to the left).
3. With the tracking force gauge ring facing forward, attach
the counterweight to the back of the tonearm, and slowly
turn it counterclockwise (to the left).
Tonearm balance and tracking force
In order for the cartridge to pick up sound correctly from the record’s grooves,
the tonearm’s balance and tracking force must be adjusted to fit the
specifications of the cartridge. If the tonearm’s balance and tracking force are
not properly adjusted, the record or the cartridge’s stylus may become damaged.
• Do not drag the cartridge’s stylus across the record or felt mat when
adjusting the tonearm’s balance or tracking force. Doing so may damage the
stylus.
Setting tonearm balance
1. Remove the cartridge’s protector.
2. While holding headshell, remove the cable tie used to
secure the tonearm at the time of delivery.
3. While still lightly holding the headshell, turn the
counterweight to adjust the tonearm’s balance.
• Adjust the balance so that the tonearm is level when you release the headshell.
4. Return the tonearm to the tonearm rest.

Preparation for use
Setting tracking force
1. While supporting the counterweight so that it does not
move, turn the tracking force gauge ring so that its “0”
position lines up with the centerline on the back of the
tonearm (the tracking force is not adjusted simply by
turning the tracking force gauge ring).
2. Turn the counterweight and the tracking force gauge
ring together counterclockwise until the centerline value
matches the recommended tracking force value for the
cartridge you are using.
• Refer to the cartridge maker’s specifications for the recommended tracking force
value.
• The tracking force value for the cartridge provided with this product is 2.0 g.
Setting the anti-skate adjustment
While the record is playing, a force acts on the stylus tip to pull it inward. This
force can be counteracted by setting the same values for anti-skate and the
tracking force.
1. Adjust the anti-skate control dial to have the same value
as the tracking force value.
• The tracking force value for the cartridge provided with this product is 2.0 g.
Installing/removing the dust cover

Preparation for use
Connecting the device
Align the settings for the pre-amplifier selector switch and connect the RCA audio cable to an input jack that is compatible with the connectable equipment you are
using (amplifier, receiver, active speakers, sound card, etc.).
• The RCA audio cable's red jack is for the right (R) channel, and the white jack is for the left (L) channel.
Rotating the platter
1. Using your hands, rotate the platter ten times.
• Raise the tonearm lift control lever to lift the tonearm. Slowly rotate the turntable
ten times by hand in the direction of the arrow.
• You may want to hold the tonearm to prevent it from moving. This step is for
resetting the auto mechanism, getting rid of any twists in the belt and making
sure the belt rides smoothly along the drive rim on the underside of the platter.
Connecting the power cable
This product does not have a power switch. A standby current is always running
through the product, even when it is not being used; disconnect the power cable
plug from the outlet when not using the product for a long period of time.
1. Connect the power cable plug to the outlet.
• For safety, raise the tonearm by lifting the tonearm lift control lever to the UP
position.
• Connect the power cable plug to the outlet without removing the cartridge’s
protector. If the platter has rotated, press the STOP button without touching the
tonearm, and then wait until the tonearm returns to its original position.
• If you play a record immediately after inserting the power cable, the sound that
is played may be garbled. Wait a short time (about 30 seconds) after plugging the
power cable plug into the outlet before playing a record.
*1
Depending on the connectable equipment you are using, a ground
(earth) terminal may be present near the phono input jack. If this is
the case, connect the grounding wire of the RCA audio cable to it.
This will help prevent a low humming noise that might otherwise
be heard during playback.

Playing a record
Stopping the record
Once the record has been played until the end, the tonearm automatically
returns to the tonearm rest.
To manually stop the record, do the following.
1. Lower the volume of the amplifier, speakers, etc.
sufficiently.
2. Press the STOP button.
• Once the record stops playing, the tonearm automatically returns to the tonearm
rest.
3. Remove the record after the platter has come to a
complete stop.

Troubleshooting
Problem Solution
The platter does not spin. • Is the power cable plug connected to the outlet? Connect the power cable plug to the outlet.
• Has the belt slipped from the platter? Correctly place the belt on the platter.
• Is the belt placed on the motor pulley? Check that the belt is placed on the motor pulley (brass-colored) correctly.
• Has the belt been damaged? Replace it with a new belt.
The platter spins, but there is no
sound or the volume is not loud
enough.
• Are the function settings and input for connected equipment (amplifier, etc.) selected correctly? Check whether the
settings for the connected equipment are correct.
• Is the stylus damaged? Check the stylus and replace it, if necessary.
• Is the stylus placed correctly on the body of the cartridge? Check the cartridge and adjust it, if necessary.
• Are the setting positions for the pre-amplifier selector switch correct? Check that the pre-amplifier settings are
correct, noting the following common problems and their causes:
–If there is no sound, or if the volume is not loud enough, the product is set to the “PHONO” position and connected
to the amplifier’s AUX/LINE input.
–If the volume is too loud or is distorted, the product is set to the “LINE” position, and the connectable equipment is
connected to the PHONO input.
• Is the tracking force set too heavy? Adjust the tracking force.
The stylus skips. • Is the tracking force set too light? Adjust the tracking force.
• Is the anti-skate set improperly? Verify anti-skate is set for same value as cartridge tracking force.
• Is the record warped? Check the record.
• Is the record scratched? Check the record.
There is howling. • Is the product picking up excessive vibrations from the floor, surfaces of the walls, or nearby speakers? Decrease the
vibrations or mount the product on a surface that is not subject to the effects of vibrations.
• Is the product mounted on an unstable surface? Check whether the surface on which the product is mounted is suitable.
There is noise when the record is
playing.
• Is there dust on the cartridge’s stylus tip? If dust is stuck to the stylus tip, clean it with a commercially sold brush.
The sound when the record is playing
is either too fast or too slow.
• Are the speed settings for this product correct? Use the platter speed button to select the correct speed for the type
of record being played.
Playback speed slows down or there
is irregular rotation.
• Is the belt stretched out? Replace it with a new belt.
Hum is heard during playback. • Is the ground line connected correctly? Make sure the ground line is properly connected.
• Is the headshell attached to the tonearm firmly? Make sure the locking ring is tight.

Préparation pour l’utilisation
Installation de la platine
• Montez le produit sur une surface plane.
• Pour éviter les effets de vibrations et la pression acoustique, ne montez pas
le produit à côté d’éléments tels que des haut-parleurs.
• Le produit peut percevoir des parasites s’il est placé à côté d’une radio. Par
conséquent, essayez de garder le produit éloigné des radios.
• Si le produit est proche d’équipements (téléphone portable, etc.) qui
émettent de fortes perturbations de radio, des bruits parasites peuvent
survenir.
