6) Install the springs into the s u s p e n
sion housings, a n d place the entire
assembly onto the appropriate s u s p e n
sion height adjustment s t e m observing
the color c o d e previously mentioned.
NOTE: Align the marks on the spring
supports such that they face the centre
spindle of the turntable.
7) Level the base b y adjusting the
height of the feet, m o u n t e d o n threaded
shafts. (Only rough leveling is required
at this time: precise leveling occurs after
the turntable is m o v e d to its final posi
tion.)
8) Install the s u b c h a s s i s onto the sus
pension towers, using extreme care.
9) Retrieve the platter from the polysty
rene packaging and install it on the spin
dle.
NOTE: The platter hole and the spin
dle are tapered. Extreme care should
be taken during installation,
sure that there is no dirt on either sur
faces.
The belt must not be installed yet.
Installing the Control Unit
1) Locate the control unit in the packag
ing. C o n n e c t the A C input line into a
convenient wall outlet.
Plug the 7-pin DIN connector c o m i n g
from the motor-base a s s e m b l y into the
control unit.
2) N o w set the turntable aside s o y o u
can use the w o r k surface to prepare the
tonearm.
Cartridge Installation
1) S e l e c t the right s c r e w s for mounting
your cartridge. R e m e m b e r that steel
s c r e w s are two-and-a-half
w e i g h t of a l u m i n u m s c r e w s , a n d any
unnecessary increase in m a s s here will
have an adverse effect of warp-riding.
27 Before installing the cartridge, make
sure that the stylus protector is firmly in
place. Tighten the s c r e w s just enough
so that the cartridge can still be m o v e d .
W h e n the use of a nut is required, w e
r e c o m m e n d mounting from the top of
the head shell. Cartridge alignment will
be c o m p l e t e d after the tonearm has
been installed.
NOTE: We do not recommend the use
of any putty or damping
between the cartridge and head shell,
or the use of nylon spacers and screws
since these materials will not allow a
firm enough coupling.
Place the turntable back onto the work
surface. Y o u are n o w ready to install the
tonearm.

4) S e t the tonearm d o w n s u c h that the
tip of the stylus rests precisely in the
identation in the center of the adjust

5) Turn the V T A knob until the arm
tube is parallel to the d i s c .
NOTE: Refer to the instructions

parallel with the head shell).
NOTE: Extreme care should be taken
during all stages of this procedure to
prevent damage to the delicate stylus.
