ATTACHING THE CARTRIDGE
You
can attach
any cartridge
to
this turntable
weighing
between
49 and
109
on condition that only the
accessory
headshell
is
used
with
it.
Follow
the
procedure outlined
below
for
attaching
the
cartridge
to
the
headshell.
1. Take
out the
headshell, cartridge
mounting
screws,
nuts,
washers
and small screwdriver
from
the
styrene
pad.
The
screws
come
in
three
different
lengths
so choose
the
screws
according
to
the
height
of
the
cartridge
you
intend
to
attach.
The
terminals
on the
accessory headshell are aligned
as
shown
in
Fig.
A.
Check
the location
and
polarity of
each
of
the
cartridge's
terminal pins
and
then
connect
the
lead
wires,
taking
care
not
to
get
the polarities mixed
up.
Attach the
cartridge
lightly
to
the
headshell
using
the
screws,
nuts and
washers
(Fig.
A).
Adjust
the position
of
the
cartridge so
that the
stylus
and
the
connector section
of
the
headshell
are
49mm
apart and
tighten
up the
screws. Make sure
that
the
cartridge does
not
tilt
to
one side
when
you attach it
(see
Fig. B).
Be
careful
so
that the
cartridge
mounting nut
does
not
come
into
contact
with the
cartridge body.
When con-
tacting, hum
(buzzing noise) may
be generated.
