sure the belt is flat when seated, and then attach the belt to the

motor pulley.

•

Make sure that the belt does not get twisted.

Setting up the turntable

• Position the product on a level surface.

• To avoid the effects of vibrations and acoustic pressure, do not

mount the product next to such items as speakers.

• The product may pick up radio static if placed next to a radio.

Therefore, try to keep the product away from radios.

• If the product is near equipment (cell phone, etc.) that emits strong

radio waves, noise may occur.

Leveling the turntable

1. After positioning the product where you want to use it, adjust the

feet so that the product is level.

• Use a level (sold separately) as needed to ensure that the product is level.

Assembling the tonearm

1. Remove the cable tie used to secure the tonearm at the time of

delivery.

• Use the clamp to temporarily secure the tonearm to the tonearm rest.

2. Insert the headshell into the tonearm.

• Hold the right and left edges of the headshell so that you do not damage

the stylus or cut the cartridge’s wires.

3. With the headshell inserted, turn the locking ring

counterclockwise (to the left).

Preparation for use

Tonearm balance and tracking force

In order for the cartridge to reproduce audio correctly from the record’s

grooves, the tonearm’s balance and tracking force must be adjusted

to fit the specifications of the cartridge. If the tonearm’s balance and

tracking force are not properly adjusted, the record or the cartridge’s

stylus may become damaged.

• Do not drag the cartridge’s stylus across the record or turntable mat

when adjusting the tonearm’s balance or tracking force. Doing so

may damage the stylus.

Setting tonearm balance

1. Remove the cartridge’s protector.

2. Unlock the tonearm and lift the tonearm lift control lever.

• The tonearm is tilted because the balance has yet to be adjusted.

3. Place the tonearm over the platter. Hold the headshell and lower

the tonearm lift control lever completely.

• Protect the stylus from touching platter.

4. While still lightly holding the headshell, turn the counterweight to

adjust the tonearm’s balance.

• Adjust the balance so that the tonearm is level when you release the

headshell.

5. Return the tonearm to the tonearm rest.

Setting tracking force

1. While supporting the counterweight so that it does not move,

turn the tracking force gauge ring so that its “0” position lines up

with the centerline on the back of the tonearm.

• The tracking force is not adjusted simply by turning the tracking force

gauge ring.

2. Turn the counterweight and the tracking force gauge ring

together counterclockwise from the 0 position (to the left) until

the centerline value matches the recommended tracking force

value for the cartridge you are using.

• Refer to the cartridge maker’s specifications for the recommended tracking

force value.

• The tracking force value for the cartridge provided with this product is 2.0 g.

Setting the anti-skate adjustment

While the record is playing, a force acts on the stylus tip to pull it

inward. This force can be counteracted by setting the same values for

anti-skate and the tracking force.

1. Adjust the anti-skate control dial to have the same value as the

tracking force value.

• The tracking force value for the cartridge provided with this product is 2.0 g.

Preparation for use

Installing/removing the dust cover

When attaching the dust cover, insert the hinges of the dust cover

into the two dust cover hinge holders on the back of the body. When

removing the dust cover, slowly pull the dust cover out from the dust

cover hinge holders.

Setting output selector switch

This product has a built-in phono equalizer function. You can use the

product, even if you do not have a phono amplifier or connectable

equipment with a built-in phono amplifier, by connecting an active

speaker, etc.

Use the output selector switch to set the output, as shown below.

* An audio adapter (sold separately) may be required to connect the

RCA audio cable to the PC sound card's line input jack.

Connecting to connectable equipment (active

speakers, amplifiers, etc.)

Align the settings for the output selector switch and connect the RCA

audio cable to an input jack that is compatible with the connectable

equipment you are using (amplifier, receiver, active speakers, sound

card, etc.).

• The RCA audio cable's red jack is for the right (R) channel, and the

white jack is for the left (L) channel.

* Depending on the equipment you are connecting, a ground (earth)

terminal may exist near the phono input jack. If this is the case,

connect to it using the ground line from the RCA audio cable. This

will help prevent a low humming noise that might otherwise be heard

during playback.

Connecting the AC adapter

1. Connect the AC adapter's cord to the power input jack.

2. Plug the AC adapter into an outlet.

• Make sure that the power switch is in the “OFF” position and the control

knob is in the "STOP" position. If the power switch is in the “ON” position

with the AC adapter connected to the outlet, a standby current is always

running through the product even it is not being used.

• If you play a record immediately after plugging the AC adapter into an

outlet, the sound that is played may be garbled. Wait a short time (about

30 seconds) after plugging the AC adapter into the outlet before playing a

record.

Playing a record

Before playing a record

1. Remove the cartridge’s protector.

• If the tonearm is fixed to the tonearm rest, remove the clamp.

2. Place the record on the turntable mat so that the center hole

aligns with the spindle.

• If playing a 45 RPM record, attach the 45 RPM adapter (see the diagram to

the right below).

Playing a record

Lower the volume of the amplifier, speakers, etc., sufficiently.

1. Turn the power switch on.

2. Use the control knob to select the speed.

• Select “33” for a 33-⁄ RPM record, or “45” for a 45 RPM record.

• The platter begins spinning.

3. Raise the tonearm by lifting the tonearm lift control lever to the

UP position.

4. Position the tonearm over the desired location (groove) on the record.

5. Lower the tonearm by moving the tonearm lift control lever to the

DOWN position. The tonearm descends slowly onto the record

and play begins.

• Alternatively, you can skip steps 2 to 4, and use your fingers to lift the

headshell, move the tonearm over the desired location on the record, and

then place the headshell down to begin playing the record.

• Do not subject the product to strong impact during playback.

Pausing the record

1. After lowering the volume of the amplifier, speakers, etc.,

sufficiently, lift the tonearm with the tonearm lift control lever.

Stopping the record

1. Lower the volume of the amplifier, speakers, etc., sufficiently.

2. Lift the tonearm lift control lever, return the tonearm to the

tonearm rest, and fix it with the clamp.

3. Turn the control knob to the "STOP" position.

• The platter slows down and rotation stops.

4. Remove the record after the platter has come to a complete stop.

• If the turntable mat gets dirty, it can easily scratch the record, so remove

the turntable mat periodically and wipe off any dust.

• To prevent the record from becoming scratched or warped, remove it

after use.

• Do not use a platter other than the one provided.

• This product is not intended for DJs. Do not touch the record or the

turntable mat while the record is playing.

Care

Turntable body

• When the turntable body is dirty or dusty, first disconnect the AC

adapter's cord from the power input jack, and then wipe off the dirt

and dust with a soft, dry cloth.

• Do not use benzenes, thinners, etc.

• When storing the product for a long time, disconnect the AC

adapter's cord from the power input jack and the power cable plug

from the outlet then wrap the equipment in plastic; do not allow it to

become damp.

Stylus tip

• If dirt and grime are stuck to the stylus tip, clean it with a

commercially sold brush.

• We recommend using a stylus cleaner (sold separately) if the stylus

tip is considerably dirty. Clean the stylus tip by moving the brush

from the rear to the front of the stylus tip.

Replacing the stylus

Removing the stylus

• In addition to the deterioration of sound quality, records may also be

damaged as the cartridge’s stylus tip wears down.

• As a rule of thumb, replace the stylus after 300 hours of use.

• Be sure to disconnect the product’s power cable plug from the outlet.

1. Release the headshell from the tonearm.

• Fix the tonearm with the clamp and then remove the headshell gently.

2. After lowering the cartridge's protector, remove the stylus by

pulling in the direction of the arrow.

Installing a new replacement stylus

1. Mount the new replacement stylus to the cartridge.

2. Mount the headshell onto the tonearm.
