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.

Installing the Lid

Insert the hinge pockets of the lid onto the hinges of the turntable.

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 bone 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 toefteplacing 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 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 35g±0.5g. Carefully rotate the tracking force dial. When’3.5w is centered over the black line on the top of the tonearm please stop.

Replacing the Stylus
It’s suggested to replace the stylus after 400 hours of use.
Removing the Stylus

• In addition to the deterioration of sound quality, records may also be damaged as the cartridge’s stylus tip wears down.
• Be sure to disconnect the product’s AC adapter from the outlet.
• When replacing the stylus, hold the headshell and the cartridge body tightly.

7. Using your hands, slowly rotate the platter ten times in a clockwise direction as shown by the arrow below.
When the Turntable is Moved
Using the product’s original packing materials, wrap the turntable in the reverse order from when you unwrapped it. If you do not have the packaging materials, take the following measures:

• After disconnecting the AC adapter from the outlet, remove the felt mat and platter, and then wrap them so that they do not get damaged.
• Attach the protector to the cartridge.
• Use a string or something similar to tie the tonearm to the rest so that it does not become dislodged.
