INSTRUCTIONS FOR UNPACKING AND SETUP

If you are reading this manual, you must have opened up the main turntable

box. In this box you will find the main ARIES chassis. Remove all packaging,

noting how it fits together. If you ever need to send the Aries back for service

you must pack it properly. Save the packaging if you can, it will be very

expensive to order it later.

If you ordered the JMW Memorial tonearm with your ARIES, the tonearm is

packed in this box and should be removed carefully. The base of the tonearm is

mounted directly to the ARIES tonearm board, follow the directions for the

JMW Memorial tonearm and carefully set up the cartridge.

If you ordered the ARIES cut for another tonearm, follow the tonearm

manufacturer’s recommendations for proper setup. Remember that cartridge

setup is a complicated but satisfying endeavor. If you take your time and

protect the stylus you will ultimately be rewarded with a good sounding unit

that you will not be afraid of working on.

Before lifting out the main chassis, remember that the tiptoe feet are attached to

the bottom of the unit. Do not put the unit down on any furniture that could be

damaged by these feet. Remove the protective bag and set the ARIES chassis

down and center it on the shelf it will be resting on.

Go to BOX B and lift out the motor and platter. Lift the platter and pull off the

tape covering the spindle hole. Carefully place the platter over the spindle and

let it slide down. The platter bearing has grease in it so none is needed at this

time. The ARIES needs no lubrication for at least one year. A Chrome

hardened ball running on a large Teflon surface takes the weight of the platter.

This requires no lubrication to perform its task.

Spin the platter and see if it feels like it is running freely. If all is okay and the

platter feels free but not loose proceed to the motor.

Remove the motor from BOX B and place it the circular cutout to the left of the

ARIES chassis. Center the motor in this cutout with roughly a ½” space

between it and the chassis all the way around. The motor needs no lubrication

at this time and should be relatively noise free. It was just shipped and will be

much quieter after a few hours running.

Remove the black drive belt from the bag and place the belt on the small pulley

groove and around the turntable platter. The drive pulley is designed for 33 and

45 operation with the smaller section being 33 and the larger section being 45.

The motor pulley of your ARIES is designed to let you slightly adjust the speed

at 33 and 45. The center groove on the pulley in each diameter is the correct

speed. If you need to increase or decrease the speed slightly you can move the

belt up or down for fine adjustment. Most people will just leave it on the center

groove and never worry about it.

Level the turntable using a 9” or 12” long bubble line level placed next to the

spindle on the platter. The aluminum cone feet rotate in their sockets and will

move up and down allowing fine leveling of the ARIES. A level turntable will

always sound better than an unleveled one and will put less strain on the main

bearing.

If you need to remove the armboard you should use a number 2 Phillips

screwdriver with a good tip. Do not use a driver that is damaged or worn out,

as this will ruin the screw heads.

You are essentially finished with the setup of your new turntable. Sit and enjoy

listening to your records and break in the unit that way. Allow at least 20 hours

of break in time to really loosen everything up and break in the cartridge and

the phono interconnects.

Do not forget to send in your warrantee card. Failure to do so will void your

warrantee and prevent you from receiving new information on upgrades etc.
