GETTING STARTED Thank you for purchasing the music hall mmf-mark 1 turntable. It is a 2-speed belt-driven, audiophile turntable that comes complete with a Ortofon cartridge mounted in a high-quality aluminium tonearm . The alloy platter runs on a precision, stainless steel and brass bearing assembly to provide fluid and quiet operation. These features combine to ensure that the mmf-mark 1 delivers superior audio performance that will provide years of enjoyment.
4. Center the platter (1) over the spindle of the sub-platter (9) and lower it until it rests securely on the sub-platter. 5. Find the counterweight (3). It is in a cut-out in the bottom piece of packing foam. Place the counterweight (3) onto the tonearm. To do this, you are positioned in front of the turntable. Orient the counterweight so that the counterweight number (no. 82) is in the back. Carefully, move the counterweight onto the back of the counterweight support rod.
9. The anti-skating force must be adjusted corresponding to the tracking force. The anti-skating mechanism is calibrated from O to 5g. The anti-skating force should correspond with the tracking force. Three examples of magnetic anti-skating mechanism: a) Tracking force - 1,5g; Anti-skating force 1,5g b) Tracking force-1,7g; Anti-skating force 1,7g c) Tracking force - 2,3g; Anti-skating force 2,3g 10. Slide the dust cover (17) onto the dust cover hinges (13) on the back of the plinth.
To achieve the best sound reproduction, the cartridge must be positioned precisely in the head shell. To do this, fit the tangency guide (you'll find this in the parts bag . It's a white rectangular piece of cardboard with black lines) over the spindle at point 'A' and onto the platter, black lines side up (See diagram below). Remove the stylus guard. Move the tonearm (2) (adjusted for the correct tracking force of your cartridge) to the pattern .
MAINS CONNECTION Locate the wall transformer. It's in a small white box set into the underside of the packing foam. Plug the small male end of the wall transformer wire into the female receptacle on the DC power input (16) for the motor. The DC power input socket (16) for the motor is located on the underside of the turntable near the back. Plug the transformer into the wall. Turn the motor 'ON' (11) and check that the platter (1) spins.
