OPERATION

1. Counterweight
Move the tonearm -5- to just in front of the Record Platter -1-. Set the tonearm lift -7- to the „DOWN" position. Adjust the counterweight
-9- by turning it clockwise so that the tonearm -5- does not tilt up or down, i.e. it should be balanced parallel to the record. Then guide the
tonearm -5- back into the tonearm support -6-. Adjust the counterweight scale on the counterweight -9- so that the position „0" is above the
marking line. Turn the counterweight further clockwise until the scale shows the value that corresponds to the recommended needle tracking
force of the pick-up system.
2. Anti-Skating Wheel
Adjust the Anti-Skating Wheel -8- so that the setting directly matches tracking force of the fitted cartridge.
3. Turning on Power
After all connections have been made and all settings have been adjusted you can turn the device on via the ON/OFF Switch -15-.
4. Playback
Place the record onto the rubber mat on the record platter -1-. Select the appropriate speed for your record with the OFF/33/45/78 switch -3-.
Remove the needle guard from the pick-up system -4-. Now set the tonearm lift -7- to the „UP" position and move the tone arm -5- over the
part of the record you want to play. Then set the tonearm lift -7- to the „DOWN" position so that the tonearm lowers onto the record groove.
NOTE! You can also leave the tonearm lift permanently in the „DOWN" position and lower the tone arm manually to the desired position. When
doing so, be careful not to damage the needle of the pick-up system.
5. Playback of records with 78 RPM (Shellac)
Please also note, that an appropriate cartridge system should be chosen, suitable for 78 RPM shellac records.
6. Dust Cover
Place the dust cover on the hinges and then insert the hinges into the holders -13- provided. The Dust Cover protects your turntable when it
is not in use. However, we recommend to remove the Dust Cover when the turntable is in use, as it will have a negative impact on the acoustic
performance. Furthermore, your turntable should be placed on a base that is as resonance-free as possible, such as a multiplex board or wood.
