3 Loosen the small screw and move the pulley (4) to the desired position
by using a small athead screwdriver.

CARTRIDGE INSTALLATION
IMPORTANT NOTE
This has already been done for you if you purchased this turntable in a
package that included the cartridge.
1 Install the cartridge into the aluminium headshell using the appropriate
hardware included with your cartridge.
2 Connect the cartridge as indicated below
• White : left channel L+
• Red : right channel R+
• Green : right channel R-
• Blue : left channel L-
3 For correct cartridge alignment, use the supplied paper cartridge
alignment tool with two null points. Consult with your dealer if you are
not familiar with two-point setup.
VERTICAL TRACKING FORCE SETTING (VTF)
1 Conrm the exact weight of your cartridge before setting the Vertical
Tracking Force (VTF).
2 Push the counterweight carefully towards the rear end of the
counterweight support rod. Place the stylus pressure gauge onto the
platter.
3 Set the required VTF by lowering the tonearm lift lever. Place the tip of
the stylus exactly in between the two points marked 15mN and 20mN.
4 Correct pressure has been achieved if the stylus pressure gauge
becomes level. The stylus pressure gauge will either not move or tilt
down if there is insucient or excessive pressure.
5 Adjust the amount of pressure by carefully moving the counterweight
(11) along the support rod until the stylus pressure is sucient to raise
the pressure gauge to the level position. Moving the counterweight
(11) away from the cartridge will reduce pressure and towards will
increase pressure.
6 Secure the counterweight (11) using hexagonal key provided.
TONEARM OUTPUT CONNECTION
1 Connect the supplied audio cable connector (RCA-to-RCA lead) to the
RCA tonearm output located at the rear of the turntable, behind the
tonearm.
2 Connect the grounding cable on the earth connection screw.
If your amplier does not have an input suitable for phono cartridges you
will require a separate phono amplier stage for MM or MC cartridges
which is then connected between the record player and a free line level
input of the amplier.
