Pioneer PL-115D Operating Instructions Manual page 3

PIONEER
Moving magnet (MM), moving coil (MC) and
induced magnet (IM) are the main cartridge types.
Although all of these can be used with the
PL-115D, select cartridges with weights between
4—10 grams. Refer to the cartridge operating
instructions for connection and handling. Since the
tonearm of the PL-115D is a universal type, your
optional cartridge with standard type headshell can
be attached with no problem. Install the cartridge
to the headshell according to the following steps.
1. When attaching cartridge to the accessory head-
shell, use the headshell, screwdriver, overhang
gauge, screws, nuts and washers supplied in the
accessory box (Fig. 4).
2. Connect headshell lead wires to the cartridge.
Observe lead wire color coding as follows.
White L (left channel)
Blue LG (left channel ground)
Red R (right channel)
Green RG (right channel ground)
3. Fit cartridge to headshell (Fig. 1), but do not
tighten the mounting screws yet.
4. Set the headshell into the accessory overhang
gauge as shown in Fig. 2. Adjust the cartridge
position so that the stylus tip is aligned with the
gauge line. Finally, tighten the cartridge mount-
ing screws, :
5. Install headshell on tonearm according to Fig. 8
on next page.
If your cartridge weighs over 8.5g, insert the sub
weight into the end of the tonearm shaft.
