Set-up
1. Platter installation
Unscrew the three transport screws (14) from the aluminium sub-chassis before installing the sandwich platter
(4). Remove the protective covers from the bearing shaft and from the platter housing.
These covers shield against dust and dirt and keep the bearing shaft and housing sufficiently lubricated. If
necessary, lubricate the shaft with grease from the enclosed accessories. Maximum amount is 0,5 ml. Use the
scale on the supplied syringe to measure the desired quantity and distribute the lubricant evenly.
The platter is floating on magnets. Take care not to damage the magnet when putting
the platter on the shaft.

2. Drive belt installation
Fit the drive belt (3) around the platter (4) and the motor pulley (2). Avoid getting sweat or grease on the belt
as these will deteriorate the performance and reduce the belt's lifespan. Use absorbent kitchen paper to remove
any oil or grease from the outer edge of the platter and the belt.
Do not stretch the belt too much.
Please note: We recommend to use the record player without a mat on the platter.

Carefully remove the main tonearm part from the packaging and put this part onto the tonearm uni-pivot tip.
b) Tonearm output connector
Insert the connector (9) carefully into the socket on the top of the tonearm. Positioning pin must be directed to
the counterweight. When the connector is inserted, secure it by screwing the locknut clockwise.

c) Headshell installation
Insert the headshell (13) into the front of the tonearm tube. Connector pin must be oriented into the groove in
the tonearm tube. Secure the headshell by screwing the locknut clockwise.
d) Counterweight installation
Put the counterweight (7) on the support rod. Tighten the locking screw gradually and put the shaft entry into
thread groove. Tighten the locking screw. A correction of counterweight’s weight is possible by the additional
