1Fit the turntable and turntable mat.

Put the turntable on the center spindle and then lay the mat on top.

Be very careful when putting the turntable on the main unit. The magnet on the bottom of the turntable is finely adjusted and sharp contact can cause it to move and lead to poor operation. Ensure the magnet remains free from dust and iron particles.

Do not adjust the screws attaching the magnet to the turn- table. The rated performance of the unit cannot be guaran- teed if the magnet is moved.

2Attach the head shell.

Fit the head shell into the tone arm, keep it horizontal and tighten the locking nut.
