Turntable Operation

1. Press the Power Switch to turn on the power.
2. Place the record on the turntable. Use the 45 RPM Adapter if necessary.
3. Remove the stylus protector from the stylus assembly.
Note: To avoid stylus damage, make certain the included stylus guard is in place whenever the turntable is being moved or cleaned.
4. Gently pull up the Tonearm from its rest and move it over the record where play is desired to begin. Use the Tonearm
Lift Lever to raise the Tonearm Lift and let the Tonearm sit on it.
5. Set the Tonearm Lift Lever back to the down position, the tonearm will descend slowly onto the record and begin
playback.
6. When the record is finished playing, use the Tonearm Lift Lever to raise the tonearm and then return it to the Tonearm
Rest. To suspend the playback, repeat the same steps.
.
Anti-skate Adjustment
• A small outward "anti-skating" force can be applied to the tone arm to compensate for the
"skating" force that pulls the arm toward the center of the record.
• Slip the loop of the anti-skating weight's thread over one of the grooves of the stub to match
up the correct anti-skating force. Feed the thread through the hook of the wire support.
• Anti-skating force as below
Anti-skating Force
1 – 1.5g
1.5 – 2g
2g and above

Cartridge Replacement

1. Before replacement, put the stylus protector back on the stylus to prevent damage to the stylus during the replacement
process.
2. Carefully remove the wire leads from the original cartridge.
3. Loosen the two screws on the headshell that are securing the cartridge and then remove the original cartridge.
4. Mount the new cartridge to the headshell and tighten it lightly. Do not completely tighten the screws at this moment.
5. Connect the wire leads to the new cartridge's terminals .The wire lead color codes are as below:
White
Blue
Red
Green
6. Adjust the cartridge's position to make sure it is precisely aligned on the headshell so that the stylus will be tracking the
grooves in parallel perfectly.
To achieve this, place the included paper cartridge alignment protractor over the turntable spindle, carefully lift the tone
arm and place the tip of the stylus on the points marked 130mm and 250mm respectively. Fine tune the cartridge's
position on the headshell until the cartridge is perfectly in parallel with the reference lines at both points.
7. Tighten the screws completely once the perfect alignment is achieved.
Azimuth Adjustment
The needle must be perpendicular to the record groove in order to track the groove wall modulations
correctly. In rare cases, if the factory installation is not perfect, you can make below adjustment:
1. Use the provided Allen Wrench to loosen the screw located at the bearing end of the tonearm just
enough to loosen the arm tube.
Note: Do not remove the screw completely.
Gently rotate the tonearm until the needle is perpendicular to the record surface.
2.
Note: Make sure the needle tip is not touching the record when adjustment is being made or it will cause
damage to the needle and cantilever suspension.
3. Tighten the screw when adjustment is finished.
