Preparation for use
Placing the platter
This product requires some assembly before using it for the first time.
Do not connect the AC adapter until assembly is complete.
1. Set the platter on the spindle.
Make sure that the control knob is in the "STOP" position.
To avoid damaging the spindle when seating the platter, align the positions
of the spindle and the platter's hole, and then slowly seat the platter.
Make certain that the platter is fully seated on the spindle.
2. Place the rubber mat on top of the platter.
Setting up the turntable
Position the product on a level surface.
To avoid the effects of vibrations and acoustic pressure, do not
mount the product next to such items as speakers.
The product may pick up radio static if placed next to a radio.
Therefore, try to keep the product away from radios.
If the product is near equipment (cell phone, etc.) that emits strong
radio waves, noise may occur.
Leveling the turntable
1. After positioning the product where you want to use it, adjust the
feet so that the product is level.
Use a level (sold separately) as needed to ensure that the product is level.
Assembling the tonearm
1. Remove the cable tie used to secure the tonearm at the time of
delivery.
Use the clamp to temporarily secure the tonearm to the tonearm rest.
2. Insert the headshell into the tonearm.
Hold the right and left edges of the headshell so that you do not damage
the stylus or cut the cartridge’s wires.
3. With the headshell inserted, turn the locking ring
counterclockwise (to the left).
4. With the tracking force gauge ring facing forward, attach the
counterweight to the back of the tonearm, and slowly turn it
counterclockwise (to the left).
