LISTENING TO A VINYL RECORD
MUST READ!!!
***The Counter Weight on the tone arm MUST be properly set-up before first use!
Adjustment of the Counter Weight
1. Remove all packing material and remove the clear needle protector. Identify the
transportation screw and turn clockwise until it is all the way down (This is not an
adjustment, the purpose of this screw is for transportation protection only).
2. Identify the silver counter weight at the back of the tone arm.
3. With your hand, lift the tone arm up and move the tone arm away
from the tone arm rest but not over the black record platter (see
photo A). Be careful that the needle does not hit anything.
Rotate the silver counter weight (clockwise OR counter-
clockwise) until the tone arm floats naturally. (NOTE: the black
number ring will also rotate as you turn the silver counter
weight).
4. With the tone arm floating and the stylus protector removed, the goal is create a state
of equilibrium in the arm by rotating the counter weight so that the tone arm is perfectly
balanced with the counter weight (see photos B and C).
5. Now that the tone arm is resting in a level / balanced position, you must set the proper
weight for the needle on this tone arm. Identify the black number ring attached to the
counter weight.
6. Carefully rotate only the black number ring so that “0” is at the 12 o’clock position. Be
sure to hold the silver rear portion of the counterweight to prohibit its movement. DO
NOT let the silver counter weight turn, the black number dial will turn separately.
7. Finally, from this “0” reference position, grasp BOTH parts of the counterweight and
black number ring and rotate the weight counter-clockwise so that the “0.5” marking
on the dial is in the 12 o’clock position.
This will set the tone arm to 3.5 grams of downward force, the recommended tracking
weight for this needle (cartridge).
NOTE: The counter weight adjusts the pressure of the needle. If the pressure is too much,
the sound will become distorted. If the pressure is too little, track skipping will happen more
frequently. At this point, any fine tuning adjustments can be made by simply turning the
balance weight very slightly clockwise or counter-clockwise.
LISTENING TO RECORDS
1. Press MODE button to select PHONO Function.
2. Gently open the PHONO door.
Make sure the silver transportation screw has
been turned clockwise all the way down.

3. Place a vinyl record on the turntable. When playing
a 45 RPM record, please use the included adaptor.
4. Select the appropriate speed.
5. Gently push tone arm clip to the right to release the tone arm.
6. Raise the cue lever to lift the tone arm off the tone arm support.
7. Move the tone arm gently to the edge of the record (or the starting point of a track).
The turntable will begin to turn.
8. Gently lower the tone arm by slowly releasing the cue lever.
9. When the record reaches to its end, tone arm and rotation stop. Lift the tone arm and
place it to tone arm rest manually.
IMPORTANT:
- Closing the PHONO door will help prevent dust from settling on the turntable.
- Always relock the tone arm clip before transporting the unit.
- Do not place anything on top of the PHONO door, especially while playing a record.
- Remove the needle cover before you balance the tone arm
- Hold tone arm whenever you make any adjustment or action so as to protect the tonearm.
- Do not try to adjust the balance weight while playing a record as this could break the
needle and scratch the record.
- Remove the balance weight before transportation to prevent damage or breakage to the unit.
HOW TO REPLACE THE TURNTABLE STYLUS (VMM-C)
Please note: The stylus should last about 300 hours under normal use. It is
recommended that the stylus be replaced as soon as you notice a change in sound
quality.
Removing the Old Stylus:
1. Remove the Stylus Cover
2. Remove the Old Stylus
Installing a New Stylus:
Caution:
