SETUP
Turntable Platter and Belt Setup
Perform the following steps to install the Platter and connect the Belt. Note that for best
results, place the turntable on a low resonance surface, such as wood or multiple layer ply
board, to avoid structural vibrations during playback.
1. Install the Lid onto the Turntable Body by attaching it to the Lid Hinges.
2. Place the Turntable Platter on the Spindle. Ensure that it is fully seated on the
Spindle.
3. Align one of the openings on the Platter with the Motor Pulley. Pull the ends of the
Red Ribbon that is attached to the Belt and place the Belt on the Motor Pulley. Be
careful not to twist the Belt.

4. Remove the Red Ribbon from the Belt. Store it in a safe place for future use.
5. Place the Slip Mat on the Platter.
Tracking Force Adjustment
Perform the following steps to adjust the cartridge tracking force. Note that the included
Counterweight is suitable for cartridges weighing between 6.0~8.0 grams. The included
Audio-Technica® AT-VM95E cartridge weighs 6.1g.
1. Gently push the supplied Counterweight onto the rear of the Tonearm, with the
Dial facing the front of the Turntable.
9
2. Remove the Cartridge Protective Cap.
3. Remove the tie wrap and unlock the Tonearm.
4. Lower the Tonearm Lift Lever and position the Tonearm in the space between the
Tonearm Rest and the Platter.
5. Carefully rotate the Counterweight until the Tonearm achieves a neutral, level
balance. The Tonearm should return to this balanced position if it is moved up or
down. Be extremely careful to not allow the stylus to touch the Platter, Turntable
Body, or anything else.
6. Once the Tonearm is correctly balanced, return it to the Tonearm Rest and lock it in
place.
7. Hold the Counterweight and gently rotate the Tracking Force Dial until the 0is
aligned with the black Center Line mark on the top of the Tonearm.
10
8. Unlock the Tonearm and verify that it is still in balance. If not, repeat steps 5-8 until
the Tonearm is balanced and the Tracking Force Dial is at 0.
9. Return the Tonearm to the Tonearm Rest and lock it in place.
10. Rotate the Counterweight counterclockwise (as seen from the front of the
Turntable) to adjust the Tracking Force to the value recommended by the cartridge
manufacturer. The Audio-Technica® AT-VM95E that comes with the Turntable has a
recommended tracking force of 2.0g ±0.2g. The Tracking Force Dial adds 2.0g per full
turn, so rotate the Counterweight one full turn, until the 0on the Dial is again in line
with the Center Line on the top of the Tonearm.
11. Place the Cartridge Protective Cap back on the cartridge to protect the stylus from
damage.
