SETUP 1. Platter and drive belt installation Please remove drive belt from accessories box and install it as shown in the following ilustration. Put the felt mat on the top of the platter. 2. Cartridge installation, stylus exchange * If you purchased this turntable in a package that included the cartridge, this has already been done for you. Install the cartridge into the headshell, using the appropriate hardware included with your cartridge. All cartridges with half inch mounting holes can be fitted.
3. Vertical Tracking Force setting (VTF) * This setting is only neccessary when you decided to repalce your cartridge. For factory fitted cartridge, VTF was perfectly pre-set already. Before setting the Vertical Tracking Force, confirm the exact weight of your cartridge. Pushing carefully, move the counterweight onto the rear end of the counterweight support rod. Place the stylus pressure gauge onto the platter.
5. Maintenance and cleaning Your record player requires little or no regular maintenance. Remove dust with a slightly moistened antistatic cloth. Never use a dry cloth because this will create static electricity which attract more dust! Antistatic cleaning fluids are available at specialist stores but must be applied sparingly to avoid damage to rubber parts. It is recommended to fit the needle cover before cleaning or maintenance is carried out to avoid damage.
