3 HOW TO ASSEMBLE
INSTALLATION OF THE
TURNTABLE PLATTER
Install the turntable platter to the motor shaft.
Place the turntable sheet on the turntable platter.
NOTE
This set is especially designed for a direct drive player system.
Therefore, the rotor, which is rotating part of the motor, is con-
nected
directly
to
the
turntable
platter.
(The
magnet
of
the
motor
is
attached
to
the
turntable
platter),
For
this
reason,
to
maintain
the
high
performance
described
in
the specifications,
care should
be taken
to prevent
any dust or
iron filings
from getting
into and adhering
to the magnet.
Also
avoid
dropping
the
turntable
platter
onto
a
hard
surface,
as
this
may break
the magnet.
INSTALLATION
OF
THE
CARTRIDGE
Connect the lead wires to the cartridge terminals.
