GETTING STARTED Thank you for purchasing the music hall mmf-3.3 turntable. It is a 3-speed belt-driven, audiophile turntable that comes complete with a Ortofon cartridge mounted in a high-quality carbon 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-3.3 delivers superior audio performance that will provide years of enjoyment.
5. Center the platter (2) over the spindle of the sub-platter (12) and lower it until it rests securely on the sub-platter. 6. Find the counterweight (13). It is in a cut-out in the bottom piece of packing foam. Place the counterweight (13) onto the tonearm. To do this, you are positioned in front of the turntable. Orient the counterweight so that the tracking force scale is closest to you. Carefully, screw the counterweight counterclockwise onto the back of the tonearm.
With your left hand, lightly grip and turn the tracking force scale until the number zero is in the twelve o'clock position (dead center on top of the counterweight). The tonearm is now zeroed. Check it, by once again floating the tonearm between the tonearm rest and the platter. If the tonearm doesn't float parallel to the platter at zero, return to the previous steps and make the necessary adjustments. Return the tonearm to the tonearm rest. IMPORTANT Do not touch the tracking force scale again.
NOTE If you are substituting another cartridge for Ortofon 2M Red, you may need to make the following further adjustments to the tonearm (6) and cartridge: If you are a novice, music hall recommends getting professional help. All cartridges with half inch mounting holes can be fitted. Leaving the stylus guard on, fit the cartridge to the head shell (14) using the screws supplied with the cartridge by passing one screw through each slot in the finger lift and the head shell (14). Snug the nuts.
If you have any further questions regarding the adjustment of your turntable, please contact your music hall dealer. *Save all packing materials, parts, and screws for possible future transport. SITING FLOOR MOUNTING - Place the deck on a small, light, rigid table, e.g., coffee table. Ensure that the table is level on the floor and not rocking. WALL MOUNTING - Wall mounting may be preferable when the floor is springy or when there is risk of damage by children or pets.
MAINTENANCE The mmf-3.3 is designed for a long operational life. To preserve the appearance of your deck and maintain its performance, you should note the following points when cleaning (Make sure the stylus guard is in place before you begin): PLINTH - The plinth is constructed from medium density fiberboard, therefore it should not be subjected to extremes of temperature or direct sunlight. The finish may change slightly with age.
