4. Assembling the turntable

Your turntable is supplied partly disassembled. You can read how to assemble the different

components below.

4.1 Assembling revolving deck

Put the revolving deck (3) on the turntable spindle. There are two brad openings in the revolving deck.

Turn one of these openings so that the driving spindle is visible through it. Then connect the driving

belt to the revolving deck so that it covers the driving spindle.

Assembling revolving deck Fastening driving belt

4.2 Fastening counterweight

Screw the separate counterweight (6) on to the

pick-up arm, until it can't be turned any more. Do

not screw the counterweight on to the arm!

Fastening counterweight

4.3 Setting needle pressure

Put the control for the antiskating compensation

(7) in the 0 position. Then remove the protective

cap (12) of the MD element.

Now move the arm carefully to the revolving deck

(not above it!) and lower it with the lever (8).

The needle may not make contact with the

revolving deck!

Turn the counterweight on the end of the pick-up arm so that the arm is completely balanced.

Not correct Arm is balanced Not correct

US Blaster Turntable USB 7363 User Guide 6

Put the lever (8), with which you have just lowered the arm, back again. Now put the arm carefully

back in the arm holder and lock it. Then also fasten the protective cap back on to the element.

You can now set the numbered ring by the counterweight in such a way that the value 0 is level with

the line on the pick-up arm.

The scale on the ring indicates the weight of the needle pressure in grams. Depending on the element

that you have fitted in your pick-up arm, you can set the correct needle pressure.

You do this by turning the counterweight so that the numbered ring is set to the desired weight.

For the element supplied with the turntable you have to set the needle pressure to 2 (2 grams).

Setting ring in balanced position Setting needle pressure

4.4 Setting antiskating compensation.

The antiskating compensation enables the needle to be set correctly for the record. If this angle is not

correct (the needle does not go into the groove on the record straight) you will not get the optimal

sound from the record, and there is an increased chance of extra wear to the record. The antiskating

compensation prevents this.

The rule of thumb is that the antiskating compensation is more or less the same as the needle

pressure.

Set the control for the antiskating compensation (7) to 2 therefore, if you are using the supplied

element.

Setting antiskating compensation

4.5 Assembling dust cap

Now you can set up the turntable, you can fit the

dust cap. You can slide the hinge on the

underside of the dust cap into the intended

grooves. Then you can fit the dust cap on the

turntable.

5. Using the turntable

If you have carried out all the actions described so far, the appliance is now ready to use.

You can connect the turntable to an amplifier or audio mixing desk using the pre-fitted cinch cables.

Do not forget to attach the extra mass cable to the amplifier or mixing desk. If you don't do this you run

the risk of hearing extra buzz or noise on the loudspeakers.

Using the turntable is relatively simple.

Select the correct rpm using the rpm switch (14/15). Use – if necessary – the separate adapter (1) for

singles.

Position the pick-up arm above the starting groove of the LP record or single and press the start button

(5). Then lower the arm on to the record using the operating lever (8).

If you have listened to (part of) a record you can follow the above process in the reverse order;

Lift the arm off the record with the operating lever (8) and then press the start/stop button (5). After you

have placed the arm back in its intended holder, you can take the record off the revolving deck.

6. Replacing the MD element

Your turntable has a universal element holder. You can replace the supplied element with one from

another manufacturer, as desired.

the fastening for the element – also for other manufacturers –is completely standardised. The

fastening method is shown in the diagram below. It is important, when assembling, that the connecting

cables are properly connected.

White:+ Left channel

Blue: - Left channel

Red: + Right channel

Green: - Right channel

If you do not connect the connections correctly to the element you run the risk that the audio

information from an LP record or single not, or only partially, being audible.
