Setup
The initial setup of your new turntable should take about ve minutes. Follow the instructions in
this manual or you can view our handy how-to video at daytonaudio.com/topic/turntablesetup
Useful Tip
The turntable should be positioned on a low-resonance surface such as wood or multiple-layer
plywood board to avoid structural vibrations disturbing playback.
Installing the Dust Cover
Install the lid carefully over the hinge prongs. The hinge prongs will snap into the slots on the dust cover.
Platter and Belt Setup
1. Place the platter on the turntable spindle, making sure that is fully seated and does not wobble. Rotate the
platter until the drive motor pulley is visible through one of the windows in the platter.
2. While pulling both ends of the red ribbon that come attached to the belt and place it around the slot of the motor
pulley. Be careful not to twist the belt when placing it on the motor pulley.

7
3. Remove the red ribbon from the belt.
4. Place the felt slipmat on top of the platter. Placing records directly on the aluminum platter is not recommended.
The felt slipmat is reversible and can be used with the Dayton Audio logo facing up or down.
Cartridge Downforce Adjustment
The counterweight needs to be adjusted to ensure that the cartridge applies the proper force to the record. Too much
force will result in distorted audio and can lead to potential damage to records and decrease the life of the cartridge.
Too little force will result in thin-sounding music and can cause the cartridge to skip and slide across the record.
The counterweight supplied is suitable for cartridges weighing between 3.0-6.0g.
1. Gently push and turn the counterweight onto the rear of the tonearm with the downforce scale facing toward the
front of the turntable.

8
2. Remove the cartridge protection cap, tie-wrap, and unlock the tonearm.
3. Lower the tonearm lift and position the cartridge in the space between the tonearm rest and the platter.
4. Carefully rotate the counterweight until the tonearm achieves a neutral, level balance. The tonearm should
return to the balanced position if it is moved up or down. Perform this adjustment carefully.
5. Once the tonearm is correctly balanced return it to the tonearm rest. “Zero” the tonearm by holding the
counterweight still, and gently rotating only the tracking forge gauge ring until the zero is in line with the black
line on the top of the tonearm. Unlock the tonearm and verify that it still maintains a level balance.
6. Rotate the counterweight counterclockwise (seen from the front) to adjust the downforce according to the
cartridge manufacturer’s recommendations. One mark on the scale represents 0.05g of downforce.
NOTE: The recommended downforce for the supplied AT-VM95E cartridge is 2.0±0.5g.

Anti-Skating Force Adjustment
The anti-skating weight is designed to keep a properly balanced tonearm and counterweight from drifting to the
center of the record improperly. Properly setting the anti-skate mechanism will provide a clear and balanced stereo
image from your records. The directions here are designed for use with the supplied AT-VM95E cartridge.
1. Slip the looped end of the line over the anti-skating weight adjustment stub and into Groove 3 (the correct anti-
skating force for the factory-tted AT-VM95E cartridge). Pull the anti-skating weight slightly to let the tie of the
line move to the stub.
2. Lift the anti-skating weight over the anti-skating weight wire support. The anti-skating weight should now be
dangling in free space to the left of support.
Anti-Skating Weight Settings
Downforce Groove in the stub
5 - 10mN 1st from bearing rings
10 – 15mN 2nd from bearing rings
15 – 20mN 3rd from bearing rings
20mN and bigger 4th from bearing rings

Output Connections
Phono and Line Outputs
This product has a built-in phono equalizer function. The turntable can be used with any amplier regardless of
whether it was a phono input or not.
Use The Phono-Line Out Switch as follows
Connected Device being Used Position of Phono-Line Out Switch
Device with phono Input Phono
Device without phono input Line
Phono Connection
When connecting to a device that has a built-in phono input, set the phono-line out switch to “PHONO”. Use the
included RCA cable with ground wire to connect the turntable to the device. If the device has a ground terminal,
connect the included ground wire to reduce potential noise during playback. If the phono-line out switch is set
incorrectly the audio will be extremely distorted.
Line Connection
When connecting to a device that does not have a phono input, set the phono-line out switch to “LINE” to use the
turntable’s built-in phono equalizer. Use the included cable to connect the turntable to the device. If the phono-line
out switch is set incorrectly the audio will be extremely quiet and lack bass.
Note: RCA jack is not designed to be connected directly to the passive/unpowered speakers and if it does, the
volume will be very low.
