2. 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. Red ribbon Motor

Cartridge Tracking Force Adjustment
The supplied Counterweight is suitable for cartridges weighing between
3.0-6.0g. Counterweight Tracking Force Dial Center Line
1. Gently push and turn the Counterweight onto the rear of the tonearm (with
the dial facing towards the front of the turntable).
2. Remove the cartridge protection cap.
3. Remove the tie-wrap and unlock the tone arm. 4. Lower the tonearm lift and
position the cartridge in the space between the tonearm
rest and platter.
4
5. Carefully rotate the Counterweight until the tonearm achieves a neutral, level balance. The tonearm should return to this balanced position if it is moved up or down. Perform this adjustment carefully.
Counterweight
Tonearm
Adjust so the tonearm is level
6. Once the tonearm is correctly balanced, return and lock it to the tonearm
rest. Next, “Zero” the tonearm by holding the Counterweight still and gently
rotating only the tracking force dial so the “0” is centered over the black
line on the top of the tonearm. After, unlock the tonearm and check that it
still maintains a level balance.
7. Rotate the counterweight counterclockwise (seen from the front) to adjust
the tracking force according to the cartridge manufacturer’s recommendations.
Note: Each mark on the dial represents 0.05g. The recommended tracking force
for the factory-installed cartridge is 3.5g±0.5g. The cartridge only goes up
to 2g for one rotation of the tracking force dial, meaning you will need to
make more than one rotation to reach 3.5g.
5
Anti-skating Force Adjustment
The anti-skating force must be adjusted corresponding to the tracking force as follows:
Tracking Force 5-10 mN 10-15 mN 15-20mN
20mN and larger
Groove in the stub 1st from bearing ring 2nd from the bearing ring 3rd from the bearing ring 4th from the bearing ring
1. Slip the loop of the anti-skating weight’s thread over the 3rd groove of the stick to set the correct anti-skating force for the factory-fitted cartridge.
2. Feed the thread through the hook of the wire support.
Setting Phono-Line Out Switch
This product has a built-in phono equalizer function. You can use the
turntable, even if you do not have a phono amplifier or connectable equipment
with a built-in phono amplifier.
Use the Phono-Line Out Switch to set the output, as shown below.
Connectable device being used Device with phono input Device without phono input
Position of Phono-Line Out Switch Phono Line
Connection to an Amplifier (Device with Phono input, PHONO mode)
This turntable uses a moving magnetic cartridge. Set the PHONO & Line Out
Switch on PHONO mode. Connect the phono out cables to the phono input on your
amplifier of pre-amplifier (phono stage). Line inputs such as CD, Tuner, Tape,
or Video are not suitable for phono inputs. Make sure the amplification of the
selected input matches the type of cartridge being used. The factory installed
cartridge is 47k ohms / MM-input.
6
NOTE: If your amplifier does not have an input suitable for phono cartridges, you will need to purchase a separate phono amplifier for moving magnetic cartridges. This separate phono amplifier will then connect between your turntable and your amplifier.
Stereo System Connection (Device without phono input, LINE mode) Set the PHONO
& Line Out Switch to LINE mode. The RCA PHONO & Line Out Jacks output analog
line-level signals and can be connected directly with a par of
active/powered speakers of the appropriate input of your stereo system.
The Red plug connects with the Right channel and the White plug connects with
the Left channel.
NOTE: The RCA Jacks are not designed to be connected directly to passive/
unpowered speakers in LINE mode. If connected to the passive speakers, no
sound will come out.
Main Power Connection
Unpack the power adapter from the foam packing material and plug the small end
into the DC power jack located on the back of the turntable. Plug the power
adapter plug into an electrical outlet.
Power Management Function
The turntable will automatically go into standby mode after 20 minutes of
inactivity. To resume operation, simply press the power switch off, then press
it to the “ON” position after 1 second.

Maintenance and Cleaning
NOTE: Disconnect the power cable plug from the outlet as a precaution before
maintenance.
Turntable Body
Your turntable requires little of no regular maintenance. Remove dust with a
slightly damp antistatic cloth; never use a dry cloth as this will create
static electricity and attract more dust! Antistatic cleaning agents are
available at specialist stores, but must be applied sparingly to avoid damage
to rubber parts. It is recommended to install the needle cover before cleaning
or maintenance is carried out to avoid damage. If the turntable is not used
over a long period of time, the drive belt should be removed to prevent
unequal stretching. NOTE: Always disconnect the record player from the power
supply as a precaution before maintenance!
Useful Tips
The turntable should be positioned on a low-resonance surface such as wood or
multiple layer ply board to avoid structural vibrations disturbing playback.
Stylus Tip
· If dirt and grime are stuck to the stylus tip, clean it with a commercially-
sold brush.
· We recommend using a stylus cleaner (not included) if the stylus tip is
considerably dirty. Clean the stylus tip by moving the brush from the rear to
the front of the stylus tip.
Replacing the Stylus
Removing the Stylus
· In addition to the deterioration of sound quality, records may also be
damaged as the cartridge’s stylus tip wears down.
· As a rule of thumb, replace the stylus after 300 to 500 hours of use.
· Be sure to disconnect the product’s power cable plug from the outlet.
1. Remove the protector from the cartridge. 2. Remove the stylus by pulling
in the direction of the arrow.
14
Installing a New Replacement Stylus
1. Grasp both sides of the stylus holder and insert the stylus grip into the
rear tab of the cartridge.

Engage the rear tab first
Stylus grip 2. Push up the stylus holder until it clicks and locks completely in place.
Do not leave any space
Cartridge Replacement
1. Before replacement, put the stylus protector back on the stylus to prevent damage to the stylus during the replacement process.
2. Carefully remove the wire leads from the original cartridge.
3. Loosen the two screws on the headshell that are securing the cartridge and then remove the original cartridge.
4. Mount the new cartridge to the headshell and tighten it lightly. Do not completely tighten the screws at this moment.
5. Connect the wire leads to the new cartridge’s terminals .The wire lead color codes are as below:
Wire White Black Red Black
Channel Left channel positive (L+) Left channel negative (L) Right channel positive (R+) Right channel negative (R-)
6. Adjust the cartridge’s position to make sure it is precisely aligned on the headshell so that the stylus will be tracking the grooves in parallel perfectly.
To achieve this, place the included paper cartridge alignment protractor over the turntable spindle, carefully lift the tone arm and place the tip of the stylus on the points marked 130mm and 250mm respectively. Fine tune the cartridge’s position on the headshell until the cartridge is perfectly in parallel with the reference lines at both points.
15
7. Tighten the screws completely once the perfect alignment is achieved.
NOTE: If you are unfamiliar or uncomfortable with completing this procedure,
we recommend consulting with a professional to perform the installation.
