TONEARM SETUP
1. Begin by rotating the
counterweight
clockwise until it is in the
complete forward position
(NOTE: this is also the
maximum amount
pressure that can be
applied to the cartridge.)
2. Now there should be a
feeling of weight and
resistance when the head
shell is raised
lowered. Begin rotating
the counterweight
clockwise (away from the
pivot point) until
weight and resistance
feeling is gone. If done
properly, the tone arm will pivot with very little resistance back and forth indicating that there is exactly
0 grams of stylus pressure.
3. With the counterweight in its new position further away from tone arm pivot point, grasp the scale ring
of the counter weight and rotate it until "0" is in the vertical position.
4. Finally, rotate the counterweight (and scale ring) counter-clockwise (towards the pivot point) until the
desired amount of weight is reached. If the scale rotates 360 degrees beyond the zero point, the new
scale ring reading should be added to 3.5.
*The included head shell and cartridge assembly requires a minimum of 3 grams and no more than 5
grams for optimum performance.
Setting the Anti-Skate Adjustment
In most cases, the Anti-Skate should be set to its minimum setting. Anti-Skate compensates for inward
tracking forces that occur with certain cartridges when the stylus nears the center of the record. If the
turntable is experiencing excessive skipping during back-cueing and scratching while nearing the center
spindle, try increasing the Anti-Skate in the increments indicated on the dial. Start by adding an increment of
1, test its performance, then increase it more, and so on.
IMPORTANT
Make sure that the felt slipmat is always placed on top of the platter while using the turntable. Failure to use
the slipmat may cause damage to your media as well as damage to the turntable.
Remove the plastic cartridge cover (needle cover) before operating the turntable.
