18. Headshell- Install cartridge here.

When installing a cartridge, refer to
the installation instructions supplied
by the manufacturer of that
cartridge. During installation, attach
the stylus protector to guard the
stylus tip from damage.

Attach wires as follows:
White (L+)Left channel +
Blue (L-) Left channel
Red (R+) Right channel +
Green (R-)Right channel

19. Headshell Locking Nut - Attach

headshell by inserting into the front

end of the tonearm, then turn the

24. Tone Arm Lever - Controls the up

and down action of the Tone Arm
Lift.

25. Anti-Skate Control - This applies

inward force to the tonearm so it
doesn’t skip outward across the
record due to the centrifugal force of
the record spinning. Cartridge
manufacturers usually specify the
proper setting of this.

26. Tone Arm Height Adjust - This allows

the tone arm to be properly align
with the platter surface.

27. Height Lock - Prevents accidental

adjustment of the height.

28. Counterweight - Adjustment creates

the proper downward pressure of the
stylus to the record. Attach now by
sliding the counterweight onto the
rear of the tonearm. Twist it lightly
and it will screw onto the rear shaft
of the tonearm.

34. Removable Lid - Protects the

turntable from dirt and dust.

35. Hinge Assembly - Holds the lid and

turntable together. Attach now by

sliding the bottom tabs of the Hinge

Assembly into the Hinge Holders.

36. Platter Speed Output - This output is

to be used with external devices that

require platter speed information.

37. Remote Start/Stop - This is used with

external control devices.

Tech note: This circuit is normally

open. Use a momentary switch and

a 1/4” mono plug, to change play

states of the unit.

Your assembly should now be complete. Place your turntable on a vibration free
level surface and attach to your mixer or preamplifier. If you are using the turntable
for slip cueing, scratching, or beat mixing music you will want to use a slipmat and
not a rubber mat. Do not force the platter to stop moving while the motor is
engaged. Quality slipmats should be used to hold records in position. Forcing the
motor to stop can damage the motor assembly.

38. Adjustable Feet - Turn feet to level

the platter surface.

39. Phono Output - Plug these into your

mixer or preamplifiers’ turntable
input.

40. Ground Cable - Attach to the ground

screw on your mixer or preamplifier
to prevent turntable hum.

41. Power Cord - Plug this into an

appropriate power outlet after
checking your power setting switch
(18) under the platter.

TONE ARM SETTINGS

The following explains proper counterweight and anti-skating set up. Cartridge manufacturers
usually specify the proper settings.
a) Remove the stylus protector, do not touch the stylus tip during the adjustment.
b) Set the cueing lever to the lower position so it does not effect tone arm height.
c) Set Anti-skate adjustment to 0.
d) Place counterweight on the rear of the tone arm
e) Release the arm clamp and lift the tonearm from the arm rest so it moves freely.
f) Rotate the counterweight until the tonearm is approximately balanced horizontally (floats

freely).

g) Refasten the tonearm with the arm clamp.
h) Hold the counterweight stationary with one hand and

rotate only the stylus-pressure ring to bring the number

"O" of the ring into alignment with the center line on the

tonearm rear shaft.
i) Rotate the counterweight with scale ring clockwise to the

correct stylus pressure following the manufacturer's

recommendation.

Note: Failure to follow recommended stylus pressure

could damage both the stylus and record. This can also

seriously degrade performance.

j) Set the anti-skating control knob to the same value as

the stylus pressure, unless your manufacturer specifies

otherwise.
