REMOVING DUST COVER
lf the turntable cannot be positioned with the dust cover
attached, remove the dust cover from the cabinet, proceed-
ing as follows:
1. Fully open the dust cover.
2. Hold the dust cover as shown, and lift it off by pulling it
straight upward.
To install, insert the hinges of the dust cover into the hinge
sockets of the cabinet, and push the dust cover downward.
ATTACHING THE CARTRIDGE
You can attach any cartridge to this turntable weighing
between 49 and 109 on condition that only the accessory
headshell is used with it. Follow the procedure outlined
below for attaching the cartridge to the headshell.
1. Take out the headshell, cartridge mounting screws, nuts,
washers and small screwdriver from the styrene pad.
The screws come in three different lengths so choose the
screws according to the height of the cartridge you
intend to attach.
The terminals on the accessory headshell are aligned as
shown in Fig. A. Check the location and polarity of each
of the cartridge's terminal pins and then connect the
lead wires, taking care not to get the polarities mixed up.
Attach the cartridge lightly to the headshell using the
screws, nuts and washers (Fig. A).
Adjust the position of the cartridge so that the stylus
and the connector section of the headshell are 49mm
apart and tighten up the screws. Make sure that the
cartridge does not tilt to one side when you attach it
(see Fig. B).
Be careful so that the cartridge mounting nut does not
come into contact with the cartridge body. When con-
tacting, hum (buzzing noise) may be generated.
