5. Connect the wire leads to the new cartridge's terminals. The wire lead color codes
are as below:
White Left channel positive
Black Left channel negative
Red Right channel positive
Black Right channel negative
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.

Azimuth Adjustment

The needle must be perpendicular to the record groove in order to
track the groove wall modulations correctly. In rare cases, if the factory
installation is not perfect, you can make below adjustment:
1. Use an Allen Wrench to loosen the screw located at the bearing
end of the tonearm just enough to loosen the arm tube.
Note: Do not remove the screw completely.
2. Gently rotate the tonearm until the needle is perpendicular to the
record surface.
Note: Make sure the needle tip is not touching the record when adjustment is being made or it
will damage the needle and cantilever suspension.
3. Tighten the screw when adjustment is finished.
