SETTING UP
Transit Clamping-Screws
Remove the two transit screws (labeled) on top of the turn-
table base. These screws are provided to secure the power
transformer during shipment, and must be removed before
use.
Power Supply Voltage-Selector Switch
The turntable is arranged for use with either 110 or 220
volt power (50 or 60 Hz). All units are preset for the area in
which they are to be sold, but if it should become necessary
to change the selection, proceed as follows. Remove the
selector-switch cover plate (two screws) and flip the switch
to its alternate position. Turn the cover plate around and
replace it, so that the indented portion is positioned to
prevent inadvertent operation of the switch.
Installing the Cartridge
Take care to handle the cartridge at all times as a delicate
mechanism, and keep the stylus guard in place as much as
possible throughout the following adjustment proccures,
and in subsequent use.
Push the connectors of the headshell wires into the
cartridge terminals, observing the correct color coding:
White — Left channel (+)
Blue — Left channel (—)
Red — Right channel (+)
Green — Right channel (—)
Set the cartridge is place in the headshell,stowing the
wire loops neatly; and fasten, but do not finally tighten, the
two mounting screws in the elongated holes.
Plug the headshell into the tone arm, pull the locknut
forward with a slight pressure, and tighten it counter-
clockwise (see Fig. 2).
Swing the tone arm over the spindle, and set the stylus
position so that the stylus extends about 15 mm past the
center of the spindle (see Fig. 3). Then tighten the two
mounting screws firmly; do not apply excessive force.
