Please note: Adjust the downforce prior to installing the anti-skating weight.
The recommended downforce for the Ortofon OM 10 cartridge is 15mN.
The recommended downforce for the Ortofon 2M Red cartridge is 17,5mN.
Anti-skating force adjustment
The anti-skating force must be adjusted corresponding to the downforce as follows:
Downforce Groove in the stub (15)
10 - 14mN 1

Slip the loop of the anti-skating weight's thread over the second groove of the stub to set the correct anti-
skating force for the factory-fitted cartridge. Feed the thread through the loop of the wire support (17).
Connection to the amplifier
The record player has gold plated female RCA phono sockets (14) so you can substitute the interconnect cables
supplied with higher quality cables such as the
Pro-Ject Connect it
interconnect cables for connection to the
amplifier if you wish. Use a line input (such as AUX, CD, Tuner, Tape or Video) on your amplifier.
!
Due to the built in phono pre-amplifier, a phono input (sometimes labelled gram, disc or RIAA
) is not
suitable.
Take care about connecting the left and right channel correctly. The right channel is usually marked red, the
left channel black or white. Check the manual of your amplifier for relevant information. An earthing wire
may be connected to the screw terminal between the sockets if you encounter humming problems.

The recommended load impedance for the factory fitted cartridges is: 47kohms/MM-input: The
built-in phono preamplifier is adapted for use of MM cartridges.
