If you choose to install the XLR socket using its screw terminal barrel
just cut the 5 original wires (White, Blue, Brown, Red and Black) as close
to the original solder points, then use the supplied stripping tool
to stripping about 4mm of insulation from the wires.
At this point refer to the XLR pcb printing to connect the wires to the correct
terminal points.
If you choose to install the XLR socket using soldering just desolder
the 5 original wires (White, Blue, Brown, Red and Black) and solder it
to the 5 soldering pads on the XLR pcb.
Note the printed text under the terminal barrel for colors reference.
Once you have correctly installed the wires reassemble the XLR socket using
the four orignal screws to the tonearm base, then reassemble the rubber bottom
base. (Use picture on PAGE 4 for screw allocations)
Next reassemble the platter, please refer to the screw picture on PAGE 2 for
correct washer mounting.
Enjoy your freshly XLR equipped Technics turntable.
