PLATTER SETUP
WARNING: Incorrect Platter setup can lead to poor turntable performance, platter instability or permanent motor
damage.
1. Notice the locking pins shown. BE SURE THAT TURNTABLE IS NOT PLUGGED IN.
2. Match the inner motor to Figure 2.
3. Carefully place platter with holes aligned to base as shown.
4. Check to make sure the platter rotates uniformly.
TONEARM SETUP
1. Begin by rotating the counterweight clockwise until it is in the complete forward position (NOTE: this is also
the maximum amount of 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 and lowered. Begin
rotating the counterweight counter-clockwise (away from the pivot point) until the 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) 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, than increase it more, and so on.
