6. Adjusting drop-off point
The drop-off point for the automatics (the exact location where the automatics lower the tonearm on the
record when pushing the start button) does usually not need to be adjusted. However, there is variance from
record to record, which makes it useful to be able to fine tune the point for some records.
7. Cartridge installation, stylus exchange
Your A2 turntable comes with a cartridge which has already been factory aligned and is ready for playback
immediately.
For advanced users, in case you want to switch cartridges, install your new cartridge into the headshell, using
the appropriate hardware included with your new cartridge. All cartridges with half inch mounting holes can
be fitted.
Connect the cartridge as indicated below:
•
White
•
Red
•
Green
•
Blue
For correct cartridge alignment, use a cartridge alignment protractor of your choice (not included with your
A2 turntable). If unfamiliar with this setup, please refer to your dealer.
A damaged or worn stylus may harm your record collection and should be replaced.
Please remove the stylus protection before pulling the stylus from the cartridge and replace for a new one.
Exchange stylus for the pre-mounted cartridge Ortofon 2M Red: Stylus 2M Red. If in doubt, consult your local
dealer or distributor.
8. Maintenance and cleaning
Your record player requires little or no regular maintenance. Remove dust with a slightly moistened antistatic
cloth. Never use a dry cloth because this will create static electricity which attract more dust! Antistatic
cleaning fluids are available at specialist stores but must be applied sparingly to avoid damage to rubber
parts. It is recommended to fit the needle cover before cleaning or maintenance is carried out to avoid damage.
Always disconnect the record player from the mains power supply as a precaution before maintenance!

Next to the 12"/7" selector (9) there is a small
hole, that allows you to reach a slotted screw to
fine tune the drop off point. Make sure the 12"/7"
selector (9) is in the 12" position. The 7" position
blocks access to the screw underneath. Take a
slotted screw driver and slowly turn the screw in
either direction by just a few degrees (which
direction does not matter). Make only small
adjustments and see where the tonearm now lands.
After turning the screw 360° you will be back in the
original position. This fine tuning affects both the
12" and 7" drop-off location.
