GENERAL SYSTEM PRECAUTIONS
• Use appropriate cables throughout your system: Quality shielded audio cables and terminated shielded video cables, low-capacitance preferred. Speaker cables must be 14-gauge minimum; 12- or 10-gauge is better.
• Do not place the unit in a location where it will be exposed to direct sun light or near a heating appliance.
• Do not place the unit in a location where there is high humidity or a lot of dust.
• Cartridge may pick up slight sound pressure or vibrations of the speakers coming along the floor or through the air resulting in howling. Find a location which is very stable and free of vibration.
• The legs have functions for adjusting the height of the unit itself. Adjust the legs to stabilize the main body horizontally.
Service Center.
A NOTE ON CABLES:
• Be sure plugs and jacks are tightly mated. Loose connections can cause hum, noise or intermittents that could easily damage your speakers.
• Reliability will be enhanced through the use of banana connectors on the speaker wires. Observe correct speaker wire polarity. If in doubt, consult your
dealer or a qualified technician.
• Take care to connect only one cable at a time. Pay attention to the color-coded, labelled Input and Output jacks.
• ALWAYS remember: “TURN AMPS ON LAST AND OFF FIRST”. Begin with master faders or volume controls on minimum and the amplifier gain/input control(s) down. Wait 8 to 10 seconds before turning up the volume. This prevents transients which may cause severe speaker damage.
• Use restraint when operating controls. Try to move them slowly. Rapid adjustments could damage speakers due to amplifier clipping.
Avoid amplifier “clipping” at all costs: this occurs when the red LEDs (usually on the front panel of most professional power amplifiers) start flashing. “Clipping” is when the power amplifier is distorting and working beyond it’s limits. Amplifier distortion is THE major cause of speaker failure.
• To prevent fire or shock hazard, do not expose the unit to rain or moisture. Never place cans of beer,
soda, glasses of water or anything wet on top of the turntable!
Quality cable makes a big difference in audio fidelity and punch. See your
dealer or an electronics or audio specialist store if you are not sure which cables to get.

Counterweight
The following explains proper counterweight and anti-skating set up. Cartridge manufacturers usually specify
the proper settings.
(1) Remove the stylus protector, do not touch the stylus tip during the adjustment.
(2) Set the cueing lever to the lower position so it does not effect tone arm height.
(4) Rotate the counterweight until the tonearm is approximately balanced horizontally (floats freely).
(5) Refasten the tonearm with the arm clamp.
(6) 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.
(7) Rotate the counterweight with scale ring clockwise to the correct stylus pressure following the
manufacture's recommendation.
Note: Failure to follow recommended stylus pressure can damage both the stylus and record. This can also seriously degrade performance.
(8) Set the anti-skating control knob (27) to the same value as the stylus pressure, unless your manufacturer
specifies otherwise.
