Fitting and connecting the cartridge
**All cartridges with half inch mounting holes can be fitted. Leaving the needle's protection cover on, fit the cartridge to the headshell using the screws supplied with the cartridge by passing one screw through each slot in the headshell (21). Do not tighten the nuts yet.
Connect the tonearm wires to the cartridge pins as follows:
white | left channel positive (L+) |
red | right channel pos. (R+) |
green | right channel return (R |
blue | left channel return (L |
The full sound quality of the record player can only be achieved if the cartridge is correctly adjusted. Particular tools like the

Whilst adjusting the cartridge alignment with an alignment protractor the drive belt must be removed and the motor must be switched on, otherwise the arm lift cannot be lowered.
Adjusting the azimuth
**The cartridge needle must be vertical in the record groove in order to trace the groove wall modulations correctly.

Slacken off the screw just enough to be able to revolve the arm tube without applying force. Note! Do not remove the screw completely!
With the aid of a good magnifying glass adjust the needle until it is vertical in the groove (i.e. perpendicular to the record's surface). Ideally this should correspond to the top surface of the cartridge body being parallel to the record surface. When you are satisfied that the needle is vertical retighten the screw carefully.
Under no circumstances should the arm tube be adjusted with the needle still in the record groove! Irreparable damage may be caused to the cantilever suspension! The arm must be lifted to make each adjustment and lowered afterwards to check it.
