SIMPLE SETUP

GETTING STARTED
Remove the needle cover, by gently pulling towards the front of the unit.
Carefully plug in the unit, install platter, and tonearm weight.
Note: It is recommended that this product should be operated only from the type of power source indicated on the rating label. This unit uses AC power and is powered by a standard wall outlet.

CONNECTING THE SPEAKERS:

RCA cables to connect to an amplifier/stereo device. Once connected, switch ON the unit and the amplifier device you connected. Then adjust the volume on the
amplifier devise.

SWITCHABLE PHONO PRE-AMP : This switch allows the internal stereo phono pre-amp to be bypassed when the turntable is used with equipment that has magnet phono inputs.

SURE THE NUMBER RING IS FACING FORWARD (COUNTERWEIGHT IS
PACKAGED SEPARATELY)| REMOVE THE NEEDLE
COVER – LIFT TONEARM
OUT OF THE HOLDER TO
THE LEFT SO IT FLOATS
FREELY – NOT TOUCHING
ANYTHING| TURN THE COUNTERWEIGHT

SET ONLY THE “NUMBER”
RING, SO “0” IS IN THE TOP
MOST POSITION: DO NOT LET THE REAR WEIGHT TURN (NUMBER RING AND COUNTERWEIGHT MOVE SEPARATELY FROM EACH OTHER)| HOLDING BOTH THE NUMBER RING & COUNTER
WEIGHT, ROTATE COUNTERCLOCKWISE
1 1/4 ROTATIONS UNTIL YOU END ON “0.5”| ONCE THE COUNTER WEIGHT IS SET, ADJUST THE ANTI-SKATE CONTROL
TO THE RECOMMENDED SETTING OF 2

The purpose of the counterweight is to set the tonearm to 2.5 grams of downward force, the recommended tracking weight for this cartridge. (One full counterclockwise turn  with the counterweight is equal to 2g, that is why you continue to turn counterclockwise until “0.5”)
ANTI-SKATING ADJUSTMENT The anti-skating function helps compensate the inward tracking force that occurs with certain records when the stylus (needle) nears the center or end of the record.
Once the counterweight is set, adjust the anti-skate control to match the value of the tracking force. For the included cartridge, the recommended anti- skate setting should be 2.
If you notice excessive skipping or tonearm pulling inward or outward, you can adjust the anti-skate as needed.
