ENGLISH
Maintenance and Cleaning
Your turntable requires little or no regular maintenance. Remove dust with a slightly damp antistatic cloth. Never
use a dry cloth, this will create static electricity and attract more dust! Antistatic cleaning agents are available at
specialist stores, but must be applied sparingly to avoid damage to rubber parts. It is recommended to install the
needle cover before cleaning or maintenance is carried out to avoid damage.
If the turntable is not used over a long period of time, the drive belt should be removed to prevent unequal
stretching.
NOTE: Always disconnect the record player from the power supply as a precaution before maintenance!
Useful Tips
The turntable should be positioned on a low-resonance surface such as wood or multiple layer ply board to avoid
structural vibrations disturbing playback.
Cartridge Replacement
1. Before replacement, put the stylus protector back on the stylus to prevent damage to the stylus during the
replacement process.
2. Carefully remove the wire leads from the original cartridge.
3. Loosen the two screws on the headshell that are securing the cartridge and then remove the original cartridge.
4. Mount the new cartridge to the headshell and tighten it lightly. Do not completely tighten the screws at this
moment.
5. Connect the wire leads to the new cartridge's terminals. The wire lead color codes are as below:
White Left channel positive (L+)
Black Left channel negative (L–)
Red Right channel positive (R+)
Black Right channel negative (R-)
6. Adjust the cartridge's position to make sure it is accurately aligned on the headshell so that the stylus will be
tracking the grooves perfectly in parallel.
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.
NOTE: If you are unfamiliar or uncomfortable with completing this procedure, we recommend consulting a professional to perform the
installation.
