Initial Setup

Essential Setup
1. Place the unit on a flat and level surface. The selected location should be stable
and free from vibration.
2. Install the turntable lid to the hinges.
3. Remove the tie-wrap that is holding the tonearm.
4. Install the turntable platter and drive belt accordingly
5. Place the slip mat on top of the turntable platter.
6. Insert the Headshell into the socket at the front of the tonearm, and then turn the
Headshell Locking Ring counter-clockwise. As the ring turns, it pulls the heashell
into its seated position.
7. Slide Tonearm Counterweight onto tonearm and twist it lightly onto the rear shaft
of the tonearm.
8. Adjust the counterweight to set proper stylus pressure.
Note: Do not plug the AC power adaptor to power outlet before all the assembly is completed.
Before turning the power on, make sure again all the connection settings are correct. Always
turn off the power when connecting or disconnecting.
Tonearm Counterweight Adjustment for Stylus Pressure
1. Remove the stylus protector from the cartridge and avoid touching the stylus tip
during the adjustment.
2. Release the tonearm Hold Down Clip, gently hold the tonearm and move it away
from the Tonearm Rest. At this point, the tone arm is unbalanced and free to
swing.
3. While gently holding the tonearm, carefully rotate the Counterweight towards the
front of the turntable until the tonearm is horizontally balanced and hovers freely
just above the platter without the stylus touching the platter surface.
4. Return the tonearm to the Tonearm Rest and lock the Hold Down Clip.
5. While holding the counterweight steady without any rotation, rotate carefully only
the Downforce Scale Dial until the "0" on the scale lines up with the centerline
marked along the top of the tonearm.
6. Rotate the counterweight including the downforce scale dial counter-clockwise (as
seen from the front of the turntable) until the scale shows the recommended
pressure value for stylus.
Note: The recommended pressure for the factory-installed cartridge is 3.5+0.5g
