Assembly of Sovereign sub-chassis to plinth
The Sub-chassis of the deck is not assembled prior to transit to prevent potential distortion
that can occur when it is rigidly attached to the plinth. Please fit the Sub-chassis to the
plinth following the instructions on these sheets.
Preliminary notes The sub-chassis is carefully built such that the platter runs true to the
armboard so do not tamper with any of the bolts on the sub-chassis even if they may not
appear to be seriously tight.
On the Resolution and Sovereign decks - When you finally level the deck, note that the
acrylic part of the armboard is not a reference surface – only the chrome inner disc is true
to the platter level.

The deck arrives as shown above. To attach the
sub-chassis to the deck carry out the following:
Place the deck on edge as shown in photo. Undo
the Pivot nut using the box spanner on the nut
and allen key on the bolt head underneath the
deck.
Once the nut is removed, do not allow everything
to fall apart. Hold the anti-rotate bolt from falling
out.

Ensure that the pivot spacer is in position and and then
place the sub-chassis over the pivot bolt and ant-rotate
stud. These 2 bolts locate the sub-chassis in position.
The pivot bolt clamps it and the anti-rotate bolt (loose fit
in plinth hole) restrains the whole sub-chassis from
rotating out of position.The small hole in the plinth for
the anti-rotate bolt is shown in the above illustration.
Fit the anti-rotate nut onto the pivot bolt as shown and
tighten hard using the box spanner and Allen key
provided. Ensure the anti-rotate bolt stays located in the
plinth while you tighten the nut and once tightened
ensure that you can see the anti-rotate stud is located
in the plinth hole. This is CRITICAL or the sub-chassis
will not be level and performance will be severely
affected. If all is finished correctly then the sub-chassis
should be free to rotate almost imperceptibly in the
horizontal plane, when pushed hard.
NOTES If the assembly comes apart before you get to
tighten the nut then the exploded diagram below shows
how to re-assemble everything. It is best not to allow
this to happen in the first place.
If you need to send the deck by carrier then remove the
sub-chassis and pack according to packing instructions
– remember to tighten the inertia disc onto the plinth
using the pivot nut.
You are now ready to move on to the owner manual for
final set up.
Anti-rotate bolt on sub-chassis must locate in hole
in plinth as shown in above illustration. This restrains
the subchassis from swinging out of position and is a
loose fit in the plinth hole.
There is never any need to slacken this bolt.
