ASSEMBLY AND INSTALLATION

ADJUSTING THE PULLEY HEIGHT

In rare instances, you may have to adjust the pulley height if it taps against
the platter:
Carefully remove platter and drive belt from the turntable. Using a small
flathead screwdriver, loosen the small screw and move the pulley to the
desired position.
Tighten the screw back and fit the drive belt and the platter.

TONEARM ASSEMBLY

The tonearm includes a combination of cardan bearings in horizontal axle
and Japanese ball bearings in vertical axle.
See the next steps to set up your tonearm.
1 CARTRIDGE INSTALLATION
If you purchased this turntable in a package that included the cartridge,
this has already been done for you.

appropriate hardware included with your cartridge.
Connect the cartridge as indicated below:
• White left channel L+

For correct cartridge alignment, use the two-point cartridge alignment
protractor provided with your C-Sharp accessories. If unfamiliar with
two-point setup, please refer to your dealer.
2 COUNTERWEIGHT ASSEMBLY

The first part is the counterweight itself. The second part is an
additional insert that enables optimal balancing of heavier cartridges.

from 5 to 9 g. (The weight of the counterweight itself is 110 g.)
The counterweight with the additional insert can balance cartridges
from 9 to 17 g. (The weight of the counterweight with the additional
