2.Next fit the drive belt around the sub-platter and the smaller diameter part of the motor pulley (for 33rpm use).

Note: It is very important to avoid getting sweat or grease on the belt as these will deteriorate the performance and reduce the belt's lifespan. Use absorbant kitchen paper to remove any oil or grease from the outer edge of the hub and the belt if necessary.

3. Fit the main platter over the spindle of the sub platter.

4.Fit the lid to the turntable, carefully over the hinge prongs and adjust the screws if necessary until the lid stays open where you want it to without being too stiff to open or close.

1.First remove the two red transport screws which secure the motor during transportation.

Remove

These protect the motor and its assembly by preventing it from moving around in transit. The screws must be removed before use to allow the motor to float on its suspension, this provides a level of isolation of between the motor drive and external vibrations and vice versa.

Retain the screws so that they can re-fitted should you need to move the turntable in the future.

Note: A Philips screwdriver is required.

6.Connect the TT50 using a RCA/phono to RCA/phono interconnect lead to an amplifier with either an internal or external phono stage.

Always use the phono input (sometimes labelled Gram, Disc or RIAA) on your amplifier. Line inputs (such as CD, Tuner, Tape or Video) are not suitable. As the TT50 is supplied with a Moving Magnet type cartridge use either the input marked for MM phono on your amplifier, or switch your phono stage to MM mode.

The earthing wire of the tonearm lead should be connected to the earth terminal on your amplifier (if provided).

If your amplifier does not have an input suitable for phono cartridges you will require a separate phono amplifier stage such as our Azur 540P or 640P models which are then connected between the record player and a free line level input of the amplifier.
