Initial Setup
Essential Setup
1. Place the unit on a flat and level surface. The selected location should be stable
and free from vibration.
2. Install the turntable lid to the hinges.
3. Remove the tie-wrap that is holding the tonearm.
4. Install the turntable platter and drive belt accordingly
5. Place the slip mat on top of the turntable platter.
6. Slide Tonearm Counterweight onto tonearm and twist it lightly onto the rear shaft of
the tonearm.
7. Adjust the counterweight to set proper stylus pressure.
8. Connect DC adaptor to the Power Jack of the unit.
Note: Do not plug the DC power adaptor to power outlet before all the assembly is
completed. Before turning the power on, make sure again all the connection settings are
correct. Always turn off the power when connecting or disconnecting.
Tonearm Counterweight Adjustment for Stylus Pressure
1. Remove the stylus protector from the cartridge and avoid touching the stylus tip
during the adjustment.
2. Lift up the Tonearm from its rest and gently hold it. The tone arm is unbalanced at
this point.
3. Carefully rotate the Counterweight towards the front of the turntable until the
tonearm is horizontally balanced and hovers freely just above the platter
without the stylus touching the platter surface.
4. Return the tonearm to the Tonearm Rest.
5. While holding the counterweight steady without any rotation, rotate carefully only
the Downforce Scale Dial until the “0” on the scale lines up with the centerline
marked along the top of the tonearm.
6. Rotate the counterweight including the downforce scale dial counter-clockwise (as
seen from the front of the turntable) to adjust the pressure to the stylus
manufacturer recommendations.
Note:
- Each mark on the scale represents 0.05g (gram).
- The recommended pressure for the factory-installed cartridge is 3.5g.
- One full turn of the counterweight will provide a pressure 2.0g. In order to reach a stylus
pressure that is greater than 2.0 g keep rotating the counterweight forward.
Turntable Platter and Belt Setup
1. Put the drive belt around the Turntable Hub, and then use the provided drive
belt assembly tool to help pull the belt to fit around the slot of motor pulley.
2. Place the turntable platter through the turntable spindle.
