ASSEMBLY

ASSEMBLY

1.Remove the main unit with the packing from the box and take off the packing.

2.Insert the turntable platter onto the center spindle.

3.Set the slip mat on the platter.

4.Installation of cartridge:

When installing a cartridge, refer to the operating instructions of that cartridge.

During installation, attach the stylus protector to guard the stylus tip from damage.

(1)Connect the lead wires to the cartridge terminals. The terminals of most cartridges are color coded.

Connect each lead wire to the terminal of the same color.

White

(L+) .…....………….... Left channel+

Blue

(L-)....………............... Left channel-

Red

(R+) ……....….......... Right channel+

Green

(R-) .………..…......... Right channel-

(2)Install the cartridge to the headshell and tighten it with screws provided with the cartridge.

5.Insert the headshell into the front end of the tonearm, then turn the lock nut clockwise with the headshell firmly held horizontally.

6.Slide counterweight onto tonearm.

Twist it lightly and it will screw onto the rear shaft

of the tonearm.

7.Adjustment of horizontal zero (0) balance and stylus pressure:

(a)Remove the stylus protector, do not touch the

stylus tip during the adjustment.

(d)Release the arm clamp and lift the tonearm from the arm rest to free it.

(c)Rotate the counterweight until the tonearm is approximately balanced horizontally (floats freely).

(d)Refasten the tonearm with the arm clamp.

(e)Hold the counterweight stationary with one hand and rotate only the stylus-pressure ring to bring the number "0" of the ring into alignment with the center line on the tonearm rear shaft.

(f)Rotate the counterweight clockwise until the scale shows the value corresponding to the pressure of the used stylus. The average stylus pressure of the cartridge body is 1.5-2 g. If you use a non-Stanton cartridge, please follow that manufacturer’s instructions.

8.Install the dust cover to the main unit.

PLACEMENT

Do not place the unit in a location where it will be exposed to direct sunlight or near a heating appliance.

Do not place the unit in a location where there is high humidity or a lot of dust.

Cartridge may pick up slight sound pressures or vibrations from the speakers coming along the floor

or through the air resulting in feedback. Find a location which is very stable and vibration free.

The legs have functions for adjusting the height of the unit itself. Adjust the legs to stabilize the main body horizontally.

CONNECTIONS

1.Connect the power cord to the auxiliary power outlet on the rear panel of your amplifier or receiver or to a household AC outlet.

2.Connect the unit output terminals to the PHONO

jack of your amplifier or receiver.
