SETTING
UP
Transit
Clamping-Screws
Remove
the
two
transit
screws
(labeled)
on
top
of
the
turn-
table
base.
These
screws
are
provided
to
secure
the
power
transformer
during
shipment,
and
must
be
removed
before
use.
Power
Supply
Voltage-Selector
Switch
The
turntable
is
arranged
for
use
with
either
110
or
220
volt
power
(50
or
60
Hz).
All
units
are
preset
for the
area
in
which
they
are
to
be
sold,
but
if
it
should
become
necessary
to
change
the
selection,
proceed
as
follows.
Remove
the
selector-switch
cover
plate
(two
screws)
and
flip
the
switch
to
its
alternate
position.
Turn
the
cover
plate
around
and
replace
it,
so
that
the
indented
portion
is
positioned
to
prevent
inadvertent
operation
of
the
switch.
Installing
the
Cartridge
Take
care
to
handle
the
cartridge
at
all
times
as
a
delicate
mechanism,
and
keep
the
stylus
guard
in
place
as
much
as
possible
throughout
the
following
adjustment
proccures,
and
in
subsequent
use.
Push
the
connectors
of
the
headshell
wires
into
the
cartridge
terminals,
observing
the
correct
color
coding:

the
wire
loops
neatly;
and
fasten,
but
do
not
finally
tighten,
the
two
mounting
screws
in
the
elongated
holes.
Plug
the
headshell
into
the
tone
arm,
pull
the
locknut
forward
with
a
slight
pressure,
and
tighten
it
counter-
clockwise
(see
Fig.
2).
Swing
the
tone
arm
over
the
spindle,
and
set
the
stylus
position
so
that
the
stylus
extends
about
15
mm
past
the
center
of
the
spindle
(see
Fig.
3).
Then
tighten
the
two
mounting
screws
firmly;
do
not
apply
excessive
force.

Check
that
the
headshell
is
not
twisted
(or
the
equivalent
effect)
in
the
tone
arm,
making
the
stylus
out-of-vertical
on
the
record.
If
necessary,
adjustment
can
be
made
by
loosen-
ing
the
two
small
screws
on
the
tone
arm
just
behind
the
headshell
locknut,
turning
the
headshell
suitably,
and
re-
tightening
the
screws
(see
Fig,

Set
the
tone
arm
in
the
armrest.
ty
Tone
Arm
Counterweight
and
Bias
Weight
Slip
the
counterweight
onto
the
back
of
tone
arm,
with
the
plastic
stylus-pressure
dial
going
on
first.
Rotate
the
weight
counterclockwise
to
pick
up
the
guide
thread,
and
continue
rotating
to
bring
it
to
approximately
the
middle
of
its
movement
range.
Slip
the
loop
of
the
bias
weight
thread
over
the
bias
arm,
then
hang
the
thread
over
the
guide
(see
Fig.
5).
Use
the
first
groove
of
the
arm
for
stylus
pressures
up
to
1
grams,
the
second
groove
for
pressures
up
to
3
grams,
and
the
last
(inner)
groove
for
pressures
above
3
grams.

Weight
Stylus
Pressure
Set
the
armlift
lever
to
the
down
position,
uncover
the
stylus,
and
lift
the
tone
arm
out
of
the
armrest,
supporting
it
on
your
finger.
Rotate
the
counterweight
to
the
point
where
the
arm
is
perfectly
balanced.
Next,
rotate
the
plastic
dial
only
(without
moving
the
weight)
so
that
the
zero
mark
registers
on
the
black
line
on
the
tone arm.
Then
rotate
the
weight
(and
dial
together)
to
give
the
desired
stylus
pressure,
as
indicated
by
the
gram
calibrations
on
the
dial,
One
full
rotation
of
the
weight
equals
4
grams
of
stylus
pressure.
Note:
The
counterweight
itself
is
constructed
in
two
parts.
In
the
unlikely
event
that
the
above
procedure
does
not
effect
balance
of
the
cartridge,
loosen
the
set-
screw
on
the
outer
section
of
the
weight,
and
move
the
outer
section
back
as
required
for
balance.
Re-
tighten
the
setscrew
after
adjustment.
Platter

lower
the
platter
onto
the
spindle,
and
set
the
rubber
mat
on
top.
Tone

Place
a
record
on
the
turntable
and
carefully
set
the
stylus
on
the
record
to
visually
check
that
the
tone
arm
is
hori-
zontal,
or
parallel
with
the
record
surface.
If
not,
adjust
the
tone
arm
height
as
below,
once
again
being
careful
to
pro-
tect
the
stylus
from
being
bumped.
Loosen
the
three
setscrews
(see
Fig.
6;
one
screw
is
a
finger-tighten
type)
with
a
screwdriver,
on
the
base
collar
of
the
tone-arm
support.
Lift
or
lower
to
the
height
required
for
levelling
the
tone
arm,
and
finger
tighten
to
secure
in
place.
Finally
tighten
all
three
screws,
by
screwdriver.

OPERATION
Locating
and
Levelling
Set
the
turntable
on
a
level
surface,
near
to
your
power
amplifier.
For
precise
levelling,
the
shock-mount
feet
can
be
raised
or
lowered
by
rotating.
Make
sure
as
far
as
possible
that
the
unit
is
located
where
it
will
not
be
subjected
to
excessive
vibration,
or
to
being
bumped.
Connecting
Up
Insert
the
plugs
of
the
stereo
cord
into
the
output
jacks
of
the
turntable,
and
connect
the
spade
terminal
of
the
black
(grounding)
wire
to
the
screw
terminal.
Connect
the
other
ends
of
the
cord
to
the
input
jacks
and
ground
terminal
(or
chassis)
of
your
power
amplifier.
Take
care
to
observe
the
color
coding
of
the
plugs
for
left
and
right
channels.
Connect
the
power
cord
to
the
unit,
and
plug
in
to
a
convenient
wall
outlet.
The
turntable
is
now
ready
for
use.
Operation
Place
a
record
on
the
turntable.
Depress
the
speed
selector
button
for
the
correct
speed,
and
switch
on
the
power,
Adjust
the
speed
precisely
by
turning
the
appropriate
speed
control
knob
until
the
applicable
strobe
ring
on
the
edge
of
the
platter
appears
to
come
to
a
stop.
Four
strobo
rings
are
marked,
select
the
correct
one
according
to
record
speed
and
power
supply
frequency,
by
reference
to
the
designation
on
the
turntable
escutcheon
plate,
below
the
neon
lamp.
If
the
power
frequency
is
not
perfectly
stable,
as
in
some
localities
adjust
for
minimum
motion
of
the
strobo
ring.
Note:
If
the
ring
drifts
to
the
left,
speed
is
too
fast;
turn
the
speed
control
toward
“S”.
If
the
strobo
ring
drifts
to
the
right,
speed
is
too
low;
proceed
oppositely.
Raise
the
armlift
lever,
lift
the
tone
arm
out
of
the
rest
and
set
it
on
the
armlift
plate
with
the
stylus
over
the
lead-in
section
of
the
record.
Then
put
the
armlift
lever
down;
the
stylus
will
lower
smoothly
onto
the
record.
When
the
record
is
finished,
or
to
interrupt
play
at
any
time,
raise
the
armlift
lever
to
lift
the
stylus
clear
of
the
