Page 2: Important: Read Before Proceeding
Important: Read Before Proceeding! Read and follow the Safety Instructions below. Save all packing materials. The Scoutmaster should only be moved or shipped in its original packaging to reduce the risk of damage in transit. The Scoutmaster must be placed on a flat, level surface. This will make setup easy, provide better sound quality, and put less strain on the main bearing. -

Unpacking the Box The turntable and tonearm are packed very carefully to avoid damage during shipping. It is important that you save the packing materials and box to use for shipping or moving the Scoutmaster.

Page 5: Installing And Aligning The Cartridge
Place the JMW-9T arm wand on its side on a foam pad. For cartridges with threaded mounting holes, use the screws supplied by the cartridge manufacturer. Other screws may not fit properly and may cause damage to the threads and cartridge. - Page 6 Place the arm tube assembly on the lower pivot point, using caution with the 4-color wire and Lemo connector. Set the arm in its rest. If the cartridge has a guard, remove it. Line up the red dot on the Lemo connector with the red dot on the receptacle on the junction box.

Page 7: Setting The Tracking Force And Tonearm Height
VPI has conducted careful listening tests and determined that every tonearm we tried sounded better with its mechanical anti-skating set at the lowest possible setting. Adjust the counterweight so there is no down force on the cartridge. Swing the tonearm toward the spindle and release it. The arm should swing out toward the outer edge of the turntable if the anti-skating is working properly. -
Page 8: Setting The Azimuth
To adjust the arm height, loosen the two setscrews on the base of the arm assembly, put a record on the platter, turn the adjustment wheel above the base. When the arm is parallel to the record, tighten the screws. That is the zero adjustment point and you should begin with the arm at that point. -
Page 9: General Use
General Use Allow at least 20 hours of break-in time. The motors will make some low-level noise. This will not get into the system. The motor and bearings will become quieter as you use your SM. If you notice hum in the system, remove the interconnects and replace them with very cheap, standard VCR interconnects. - Page 10 VPI Industries, Inc. Limited Warranty VPI Industries, Inc.
