How to install
1.
Mount a cartridge onto the headshell using
the cartridge installation slotted screw and
plastic washer provided, and tighten lightly so
that cartridge position can be adjusted.
• Take care that the screws are short enough so as
not to touch and damage the record.
• When using a cartridge without threaded inserts,
use screws and nuts to install the cartridge.
• Read the user manual of the cartridge.
