To avoid possible damage to your audio system, it
is essenal to disconnect all system components
from the mains supply before connecng or
disconnecng audio interconnects.
Important – read before making any connecons Fing the plaer
• Remove the cover strip from the bearing hole on the
plinth. Carefully insert the spindle of the plaer into the
bearing hole and slowly lower the plaer into place.
Gently spin the plaer to ensure it spins easily. Fit the
supplied plaer mat onto the plaer. Let the plaer
sele for around 15 minutes before turning on the
turntable.
• Note: The bearing is pre-lubricated at the factory so no
user lubricaon should be required.
Fing the belt
• Fit the belt rstly around the plaer and then into the
motor pulley groove. Gently rotate the plaer by hand
for a few turns and the belt will self-align.
Fing a cartridge
• If your Cyrus dealer has not ed a cartridge, t the
cartridge and align it in accordance with the cardge
manufacturer’s instrucons. The supplied cartridge

Arm balancing
• Fit the balance weight (1).
• With the cartridge correctly mounted and with the
stylus guard removed, ensure that the tracking force
dial (2) and bias adjustment (5) are set to zero. Adjust
the balance weight unl the arm is “oang” with the
stylus approximately 1mm clear of the record.
• Note: It is normal for the arm to swing back towards
the arm clip posion even if the bias is set to zero.
Therefore it is advisable to gently hold the arm bearing
carrier (just below the tracking dial) this prevenng
horizontal movement during the balancing procedure.
Applying tracking pressure
• Once the arm is balanced, rotate the tracking force
adjustment dial to the required tracking force.
Numbers ‘0’ to ‘3’ are marked on the dial. if in
doubt, it is usually advisable to use a tracking force
that corresponds to the upper limits of the cartridge
manufacturer’s range.
Applying an-skang (bias) adjustment
• Set the bias adjustment slider located to the same
gure as the cartridge tracking force pressure quoted by
your cartridge manufacturer.
• Note: This is not crical and a gure of between 1.5 &
2.0 will normally be suitable.
Connecng analogue audio
• Connect the le and right cables to the Phono input of
your amplier of phono pre-amp, using the MM/MC
input as appropriate to your cartridge.
External power supply - PSX-R
The PSX-R is a unique DC power supply that will upgrade
the sonic performance of compable products in the Cyrus

CAUTION:
• Disconnect both the PSX-R and Turntable from the
mains.
• Plug the mul-pin interconnect from the PSX-R into the
PSX-R socket on the back panel.
• Connect a mains supply to both units.
NOTE: Connecon of a PSX-R is detected automacally, so
no internal adjustments are required.
Connecng to the AC mains supply

inlet on the Turntable. Now connect the AC power cable to
a suitable AC power point.
