Putting the player together

Attaching the cartridge

Attention

• When performing scratching (including reverse play), use a cartridge and stylus for DJs.

1. Attach a cartridge (store-bought) tentatively.
   Follow the cartridge's instructions to correctly attach it to the head shell, and tighten the screws lightly.
   
   • If the mounting screws are included in the cartridge, use them.
   • When playing SP records, use a cartridge for SP records.
   • Use a commercially available mini flat screwdriver (4 mm).
   • Be careful not to touch the stylus tip.
2. Adjust the overhang.
   • Be careful not to touch the stylus tip.
   1. Move the cartridge to adjust the overhang in such a way that the stylus tip is at 52 mm from the head shell mounting end, as shown in the figure below.
      
   2. The cartridge should be parallel on the shell head when viewed from the top and side (the illustration is the top view).
      
   3. Tighten the screw for cartridge.
      
      • Be careful not to allow the cartridge to slip out of place.

Note

• The head shell stand (See "Parts Name") can be used to store the head shell with the cartridge attached, or to store the head shell temporarily removed to replace the cartridge and the like. It allows you to prevent cartridge and/or stylus failure or trouble due to head shell overturning.
• Depending on the cartridge type, attaching the dust cover (See "Fit the dust cover") when the head shell is stored in the head shell stand with the cartridge attached may cause the dust cover to touch and break the cartridge. Be sure the head shell is not stored in the head shell stand when attaching the dust cover.

Attaching the head shell

3. Fit the head shell with the cartridge into the tone arm.
   Keep the head shell horizontal and tighten the locking nut.
