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 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. Lift the Tonearm from its rest and gently hold it. The tone arm is unbalanced at this
point.
4. 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.
5. Return the tonearm to the Tonearm Rest and lock the Tonearm Clip.
6. 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.
7. Rotate the counterweight including the downforce scale dial counter-clockwise (as
seen from the front of the turntable) to adjust the pressure to the stylus
manufacturer recommendations.
Note:
- Each mark on the scale represents 0.05g (gram).
- The recommended pressure for the factory-installed cartridge is 3.5g.
- One full turn of the counterweight will provide a pressure 2.0g. In order to reach a stylus
pressure that is greater than 2.0 g keep rotating the counterweight forward.
Stereo System Connection
RCA Jacks
• The RCA Jacks of this unit can be used as either Phono output jacks or Line output
jacks. This is determined by using the Phono/Line Switch.
• To connect to active speakers, set Phono/Line switch to Line setting. To connect to
a phono pre-amp or the phono input of a stereo system, set Phono/Line switch to
Phono setting.
• The Red plug connects with the Right channel and the White plug connects with
the Left channel.
Note:
− If the Phono/Line switch is set at LINE position but RCA jacks connected to the stereo
system's phono input, the sound might be distorted due to input overload and could damage
your stereo system.
− If the Phono/Line switch is set at PHONO position but RCA jack connected to the stereo
system's line input, the volume will be very low due to lacking signal pre-amplification.
− RCA Jack is not designed to be connected directly to the passive/unpowered speakers and if it
does, the volume will be very low.
Spring clip speaker terminals
To connect to the speakers included with this system or other passive speakers,
connect one end of the speaker wire included with this package to the back of the
