Preparation for use
Installing the turntable
• Mount the product on a level surface.
• To avoid the effects of vibrations and acoustic pressure, do not mount the
product next to such items as speakers.
• The product may pick up radio static if placed next to a radio. Therefore, try
to keep the product away from radios.
• If the product is near equipment (cell phone, etc.) that emits strong radio
waves, noise may occur.
Placing the platter and the rubber mat
This product requires some assembly before using it for the first time.
Do not connect the power cable until assembly is complete.
1. Set the platter on the spindle.
• Make certain that the platter is fully seated on the spindle.
2. Place the belt on the motor pulley (brass-colored).
• Align one of the platter openings with the brass motor pulley, and, while pulling
both ends of the red ribbon that comes attached to the belt, place the belt on the
motor pulley, as per the diagram. When doing this, be careful not to twist the
belt.

Preparation for use
Assembling the tonearm
1. Insert the headshell into the locking ring.
• Hold the right and left edges of the headshell so that you do not damage the
stylus or cut the cartridge’s wires.
2. With the headshell inserted, turn the locking ring
counterclockwise (to the left).
3. With the tracking force gauge ring facing forward, attach
the counterweight to the back of the tonearm, and slowly
turn it counterclockwise (to the left).
Tonearm balance and tracking force
In order for the cartridge to pick up sound correctly from the record’s grooves,
the tonearm’s balance and tracking force must be adjusted to fit the
specifications of the cartridge. If the tonearm’s balance and tracking force are
not properly adjusted, the record or the cartridge’s stylus may become damaged.
• Do not drag the cartridge’s stylus across the record or rubber mat when
adjusting the tonearm’s balance or tracking force. Doing so may damage the
stylus.
Setting tonearm balance
1. Remove the cartridge’s protector.
2. While holding headshell, remove the cable tie used to
secure the tonearm at the time of delivery.
3. While still lightly holding the headshell, turn the
counterweight to adjust the tonearm’s balance.
• Adjust the balance so that the tonearm is level when you release the headshell.
4. Return the tonearm to the tonearm rest.

Preparation for use
Setting tracking force
1. While supporting the counterweight so that it does not
move, turn the tracking force gauge ring so that its “0”
position lines up with the centerline on the back of the
tonearm (the tracking force is not adjusted simply by
turning the tracking force gauge ring).
2. Turn the counterweight and the tracking force gauge
ring together counterclockwise until the centerline value
matches the recommended tracking force value for the
cartridge you are using.
• Refer to the cartridge maker’s specifications for the recommended tracking force
value.
• The tracking force value for the cartridge provided with this product is 2.0 g.
Setting the anti-skate adjustment
While the record is playing, a force acts on the stylus tip to pull it inward. This
force can be counteracted by setting the same values for anti-skate and the
tracking force.
1. Adjust the anti-skate control dial to have the same value
as the tracking force value.
• The tracking force value for the cartridge provided with this product is 2.0 g.
Installing/removing the dust cover
When attaching the dust cover, insert the hinges of the dust cover into the
two dust cover hinge holders on the back of the body. When removing the dust
cover, slowly pull the dust cover out from the dust cover hinge holders.
Setting MM (VM)/MC Cartridge Selector Switch
If using a moving magnet (MM or VM) cartridge, set this switch to the MM
position. If using a moving coil (MC) cartridge, set this switch to the MC
position.
• This switch is set to the MM position at the time of purchase. This is the
correct setting for the AT91R VM stereo cartridge included with the product.
Setting pre-amplifier selector switch
This product has a built-in phono equalizer function. You can use the product,
even if you do not have a phono amplifier or connectable equipment with a
built-in phono amplifier.
Use the pre-amplifier selector switch to set the output, as shown below.

Preparation for use
Connecting the device
Align the settings for the pre-amplifier selector switch and connect the RCA audio cable to an input jack that is compatible with the connectable equipment you are
using (amplifier, receiver, active speakers, sound card, etc.).
• The RCA audio cable's red jack is for the right (R) channel, and the white jack is for the left (L) channel.
Rotating the platter
1. Using your hands, rotate the platter ten times.
• Raise the tonearm lift control lever to lift the tonearm. Slowly rotate the turntable
ten times by hand in the direction of the arrow.
• You may want to hold the tonearm to prevent it from moving. This step is for
resetting the auto mechanism, getting rid of any twists in the belt and making
sure the belt rides smoothly along the drive rim on the underside of the platter.
Connecting the power cable
This product does not have a power switch. A standby current is always running
through the product, even when it is not being used; disconnect the power cable
plug from the outlet when not using the product for a long period of time.
1. Connect the power cable plug to the outlet.
• For safety, raise the tonearm by lifting the tonearm lift control lever to the UP
position.
• Connect the power cable plug to the outlet without removing the cartridge’s
protector. If the platter has rotated, press the STOP button without touching the
tonearm, and then wait until the tonearm returns to its original position.
• If you play a record immediately after inserting the power cable, the sound that
is played may be garbled. Wait a short time (about 30 seconds) after plugging the
power cable plug into the outlet before playing a record.
*1
Depending on the connectable equipment you are using, a ground
(earth) terminal may be present near the phono input jack. If this is
the case, connect the grounding wire of the RCA audio cable to it.
This will help prevent a low humming noise that might otherwise
be heard during playback.

Playing a record
Before playing a record
1. Remove the cartridge’s protector.
• Pull the protector straight forward to remove it.
• Applying a downward force may cause the stylus to come off the body. Only low
volume is output if the stylus has come off, or is about to come off, so refer to
“Replacing the stylus” on p. 10 to reattach the stylus correctly.
2. Place the record on the rubber mat so that the center
hole aligns with the spindle.
• If playing a 45 RPM record with a large center hole, attach the 45 RPM adapter
(see the right side of the diagram below).
Automatic operation
Lower the volume of the amplifier, speakers, etc. sufficiently.
1. Select the size with the size selector.
• Select “12"” for an LP record with a 12" diameter, and “7"” for a 45 RPM record
with a 7" diameter.
2. Press the speed with the platter speed button.
• Select “33” for a 33-1/3 RPM record, and “45” for a 45 RPM record.
3. Press the START button.
• Do not bump the product while the record is playing.
• Do not switch the record size selection while the record is playing. Doing either of
these can cause the product to malfunction.
Manual operation
Lower the volume of the amplifier, speakers, etc. sufficiently.
1. Raise the tonearm by lifting the tonearm lift control lever
to the UP position.
Tonearm lift control lever
2. Position the tonearm over the desired location (groove)
on the record.
3. Lower the tonearm by moving the tonearm lift control
lever to the DOWN position.The tonearm descends
slowly onto the record and play begins.
• Alternatively, you can skip steps 1 to 3, and use the finger-lift on the headshell to
position the tonearm over the desired location on the record. Carefully lower the
tonearm to the record surface.
• Do not subject the product to strong impact during playback.
Pausing the record
1. After lowering the volume of the amplifier, speakers, etc.
sufficiently, lift the tonearm with the tonearm lift control
lever.
