The counterweight supplied is suitable for cartridges weighing between 3.0-6.0g

• Gently push and turn the Counterweight onto the rear of the tonearm (with the scale facing toward the front of the turntable).
• Remove the cartridge protection cap.
• Lower the tonearm lift and position the cartridge in the space between the tonearm rest and platter.

Carefully rotate the Counterweight until the tonearm balances out. The tonearm should return to the balanced position if it is moved up or down.
This adjustment must be done carefully.

Once the tonearm is correctly balanced return it to its’ rest. Hold the Counterweight without moving it, and gently rotate the Down force Scale ring until the zero is in line with black line on the rear of the tonearm. Check whether the arm still balances out.

• Rotate the counterweight counter clockwise (seen from the front) to adjust the down force according to the cartridge manufacturer’s recommendations.One mark on the scale represents 0.05g of down force.

Note: The recommended down force for the factory fitted cartridge is 3.5 0.5g.

Anti-skating force adjustment

The anti-skating force must be adjusted corresponding to the tracking force as follows:

1. Slip the loop of the anti-skating weight’s thread over the 3rd groove of the stub to set the correct anti-skating force for the factory-fitted cartridge.
2. Feed the thread through the loop of the wire support.

Connection to the Amplifier

• Connect the phono-out cables to the phono input on your amplifier of the 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.

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

• Set the PHONO & Line Out Switch on LINE mode. The RCA PHONO & Line Out Jacks output analog line-level signals and could be connected directly with a pair 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 the passive/unpowered speakers on LINE mode. If connected to the passive speakers, there is no sound

• Turn the pitch adjustment knob clockwise to speed up the turntable speed, and turn the pitch adjustment knob counterclockwise to slow down the turntable speed.

Maintenance and Cleaning

• Your turntable requires little of no regular maintenance. Remove dust with a slightly damp antistatic cloth. Never use a dry cloth, 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

• 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 amplifer.

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.

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:
   • White Left channel positive (L+)
   • Black Left channel negative (L-)
   • Red Right channel positive (R+)
   • Black 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.
7. Tighten the screws completely once the perfect alignment is achieved.
   • If you are unfamiliar or uncomfortable with completing this procedure, we recommend consulting with a professional to perform the installation.
