Safety Instructions

Read and understand this entire manual before using this product. Keep these instructions for future reference.

1. Do not use the turntable near water.
2. Only connect the turntable to a power outlet type as indicated on the marking label or in the “Specifications” section of this instruction manual.
3. The turntable has a polarized plug (one pin is wider than the other). To reduce the risk of electric shock, this plug is intended to fit into a polarized outlet in only one orientation. If the plug does not fit fully into the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician. Do not attempt to modify the plug in any way.
4. Protect the power cord from being walked on or pinched, particularly at the power plug, at the point of connection between the plug and outlet and at the point of connection between the power cable and speaker.
5. Do not overload wall outlets or extension cords as this will be a fire hazard and may cause electric shock.
6. Never push objects of any kind into the turntable through openings as they may touch dangerous voltage points or short out parts that could result in a fire or electric shock. Never spill liquid of any kind on the product.
7. Do not attempt to service the turntable yourself as opening or removing body panels may expose you to dangerous voltage or other hazards. Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel.
8. Changes or modifications to the turntable not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance could void the user’s authority to operate the product.
9. Do not use attachments not recommended by the manufacturer as they may cause hazards.
10. Only place on a flat, sturdy table or use with the cart, stand, tripod or bracket as specified by the manufacturer or sold with the turntable. When a cart is used, use caution when moving the cart/turntable combination to avoid injury from tip-over.
11. Slots and openings in the cabinet are provided for ventilation and to ensure reliable operation of the product and to protect it from overheating. Do not block or cover these openings.

• The product may pick up radio static if placed next to a radio. Therefore, try to keep the product away from radios.
• If the product 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. 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.

3. Remove the red ribbon from the belt.

Rotating the Platter

1. Using your hands, slowly rotate the platter ten times in the direction of the arrow (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 AngelsHorn logo on the mat is facing up (Figure 2).

Cartridge Tracking Force Adjustment
The Counterweight supplied 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 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. Hold the Counterweight without moving it, and gently rotate the tracking force dial until the zero is in line with black center line on the rear of the tonearm. Check to make sure the tonearm is still neutrally balanced.

7. Rotate the counterweight counter clockwise (as seen from the front) to adjust the tracking force according to the cartridge manufacturer’ s recommendations.

NOTE : Each mark on the scale represents 0.05g. The recommended tracking force for the factory-installed cartridge is 3.5g $0.5g. The cartridge tracking force only goes up to 2g for one rotation of the tracking force dial. You will need to make more than one rotation to reach 3.5g.

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

Tracking Force  Groove in the Stick

• 5-10 mN  1st from bearing ring.
• 10-15 mN  2nd from the bearing ring
• 15-20mN  3rd from the bearing ring

• 20mN 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-installed cartridge.

2. Feed the thread through the loop of the wire hanger.

3. Stereo System Connection

4. Connection to the Included Speakers

Care

Turntable Body

• When the turntable body is dirty or dusty, first disconnect the AC adapter, and then wipe off the dirt and dust with a soft, dry cloth.
• Do not use benzenes, thinners, etc.
• When storing the product for a long time, disconnect the AC adapter from the outlet and wrap the product in plastic; do not allow it to become damp; the drive belt should be removed to prevent unequal stretching.

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
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. Rotate the front of the stylus in a forward and down motion.

Installing a New Replacement Stylus

1. Mount the new replacement stylus to the cartridge.
2. . Lift the stylus up until you hear a click.
3. Make sure there is no gap between the headshell and the cartridge.

Replacing the Belt

• The belt is a consumable part. Replace the belt if the speed of playback slows down or irregular rotation occurs. As a rule of thumb, we suggest replacing the belt once a year.
• Before replacing the belt, be sure to disconnect the product’ s AC adapter from the outlet.

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 move.
• Wrap the turntable body with paper or a soft cloth so that it does not get damaged.
