In order to achieve maximum performance and reliability with this record player you should study these instructions for use carefully. ! Warning of a hazard for the user, the unit or possible misuse. Important notice. The record player is supplied with a factory fitted and adjusted cartridge.
Anti-skating force adjustment Hang the loop of the thread of the anti-skating weight in the groove of the anti-skating stub (8) corresponding to the downforce applied to your cartridge and feed the thread through the loop of the wire support (9).
Maintenance and cleaning Your record player requires little or no regular maintenance. Remove dust with a slightly moistened antistatic cloth.
