CS-1200 before setting it up in order to enjoy this product for many years. .
Installation Notes
(For installation, please follow the instruction manual of the cartridge and arm and pay attention to the following items.)
- onnect the lead wires and the cartridge terminals with the left and right polarities matched.
- Fix the cartridge to the shell matching the overhang position that is specified for the pickup arm. When tightening the screws, be careful not to upset the left-right balance of the cartridge mounting position.
- Install the shell on the pickup arm with caution so that it does not tilt to the left or right. (Since the sound quality was prioritized when this was designed, the rubber ring of the terminal is not included.)
- Do not touch the terminals or connectors where lead wires are inserted directly with bare hands. Doing so may cause corrosion or poor contacts.
- Adjust the height and needle pressure of the pickup arm.
- The included screws are made of steel for the sound quality and strength.
The included wrench is also made of steel and therefore please be careful not to let it adhere to or damage the magnetic circuit of the cartridge during installation. The included washers are made of resin to make it spin in order to prevent over-tightening.
