Installing the turntable
• Mount the turntable on a level surface.
• To avoid the effects of vibrations and acoustic pressure, do not mount the turntable next to items such as speakers.
• The turntable may pick up radio static if placed next to a radio. Therefore, try to keep the turntable away from radios.
• If the turntable is near equipment (cell phone, etc.) that emits strong radio waves, noise may occur.

Turntable Platter and Belt Setup

1. Turn the platter over and check the belt position.
   Make sure that the drive belt is looped in the middle of the circle. The drive belt located too high or too low in this circle may cause the drive belt to fall off or speed to be unstable.
   

2. Set the platter on the spindle.
   Make sure the platter is fully seated on the spindle.
   

3. Place the belt on the motor pulley. Align one of the platter openings with the motor pulley, and while pulling both ends of the red ribbon that comes attached to the belt, place the belt on the motor pulley, as per the diagram. When doing this, be careful not to twist the belt.
   

4. Remove the red ribbon from the belt.
   

Rotating the Platter

1. Using your hands, slowly rotate the platter ten times in a clockwise direction (Figure 1 ).

2. This step is for resetting the auto mechanism, getting rid of any twists in the belt, and making sure the belt rides smoothly along the drive rim on the
   underside of the platter.
   

3. Place the slip mat on top of the platter. Make sure the logo on the mat is facing up (Figure 2).

Cartridge Tracking Force Adjustment
The supplied Counterweight 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 dial facing toward the front of the turntable).

2. Pull the protector straight forward to remove it.
   NOTE: Applying a downward force may cause the stylus to come off the body. Only low volume is output if the stylus has come off, or is about to come off, so refer to “Replacing the stylus” to reattach the stylus correctly.
   

3. Remove the tie-wrap and unlock the tonearm.

4. Lower the tonearm lift lever and position the cartridge in the space between the tonearm rest and the platter.

5. Carefully rotate the counterweight until the tonearm achieves a neutral balance.
   The tonearm should return to this balanced position if it is moved up or down. This adjustment must be done carefully.
   

6. Once the tonearm is correctly balanced, return the tonearm to its rest. Without moving the position of the counterweight, gently rotate the tracking force dial until the zero is in line with the black center line on the rear of the tonearm. Check to make sure the tonearm is still neutrally balanced.

7. Finally, rotate the counterweight and tracking force dial together counterclockwise (as seen from the front) to adjust the tracking force according to the cartridge manufacturer’s recommendations.
   Note: Each mark on the scale represents 0.1g. The recommended tracking force for the factory-installed cartridge is 3.Sg±0.Sg. Carefully rotate the tracking force dial. When”3.5″is centered over the black line on the top of the tonearm please stop.
