ASSEMBLING THE STEREO TURNTA-
BLE SYSTEM
This unit is a product of the specifi cation that
the customer self assembled.
When it is necessary to assemble this unit for
the operation check, refer to following.
Note
• When you purchased your turntable, a stylus's
protective cover was attached to the stylus.
Leave on the cover as you assemble your
turntable.
• Do not connect your turntable to a power outlet
with the AC adaptor until you are finished with
assembly.
• The stylus is a high precision component. Do not
touch the stylus while handling it. Touching the
stylus with your fingers, or banging the stylus
into the platter, may cause damage to the stylus.
• To move your turntable after assembling the
turntable,
– attach the stylus's protective cover,
– remove the platter, and
– pass a string through the hole in the tone arm
rest and fix the tone arm and the tone arm
rest.
Precautions on placement
• Place the unit on a level surface.
• Avoid placing the unit near electrical
appliances (such as a television, hair
dryer, or fluorescent lamp) which may
cause hum or noise.
• Place the unit where it will not be subject
to any vibration, such as from speakers,
slamming of doors, etc.
• Keep the unit away from direct sunlight,
extremes of temperature, and excessive
dust and moisture.
• Keep the unit away from electronic
devices that may emit radio waves or
electromagnetic noise.

2
Turn the platter to the position
where you can see the motor pulley
through the rectangular hole with
the tips of the red ribbon taped on
the platter.
Note: When the customer has been assembled this
unit once, red ribbon might not be installed.
3
Peel off the adhesive tape, pull and
hold the red ribbon, and then hook
the drive belt around the motor
pulley.
Note: When the customer has been assembled this
unit once, red ribbon might not be installed.
Note
• Be careful to not let the drive belt twist. If the
drive belt is twisted while placing it around
the motor pulley, the speed will become
unstable and the platter will stop after it
begins rotating. If this happens, place the
drive belt around the motor pulley again.
• When placing the drive belt around the
platter, do not stretch the drive belt roughly.
Doing so degrades the drive belt, which
causes the sound's pitch to fluctuate and be
too high.
• If the drive belt comes off of the platter's
inner circle while you are placing the drive
belt around it, temporarily remove the
platter. Turn the platter over and wind the
drive belt around the circumference of the
inner circle. Then, start again from the
beginning of the procedure.
• Be sure to remove the red ribbon after you
place the drive belt around the motor pulley.
The red ribbon is intended to help you with
this work. Placing the drive belt around the
motor pulley is still possible without the red
ribbon. The red ribbon is no longer needed
once you have attached the platter.
