Important safety instructions Please take a moment to read these instructions before installing your TT50, as they will enable you to get the best performance and prolong the life of the unit. We advise you follow all instructions, heed all warnings and keep the instructions for future reference.
Assembly/setup Before using your TT50 for the first time it is necessary to remove the transit screws and fit the drive belt, platter and lid. Please very carefully remove the parts separately from the packaging. Drive belt 1. First remove the two red transport screws which secure the motor during transportation.
Note: The recommended downforce for the factory fitted cartridge is 20mN / 2.0g. The TT50 features a magnetic anti-skate which applies a non contact force to the arm to counter-act the natural force applied by the record as the stylus is forced towards the center of the spiralling groove.

Cartridge replacement/adjustment continued The cartridge needle must be vertical in the record groove in order to trace the groove wall modulations correctly. A small screw at the bearing end of the arm allows incorrect azimuth to be corrected if your needle is not mounted exactly perpendicular to the cartridge body (which can be the case).
Bad connections, plugs not fully pushed home. Tracking force and/or anti-skate incorrectly adjusted.
