rear shaft of the tonearm.

8. Adjust the counterweight to set proper stylus pressure.

9. Connect the adaptor to the Power Jack of the unit.

NOTE: Do not plug the AC power adaptor to power outlet before all the

assembly is completed. Before turning the power on, make sure again all

CARTRIDGE DOWN FORCE ADJUSTMENT

The Counterweight supplied is suitable for cartridges weighing between

3.0-6.0g. Gently push and turn the Counterweight onto the rear of the

tonearm (with the scale facing toward the front of the turntable).

Remove the cartridge protection cap. Lower the tonearm lift and position

the cartridge in the space between tonearm rest and platter.Carefully

rotate the Counterweight until the tonearm balances out. The tonearm

should return to the balanced position if it is moved up or down.

This adjustment must be done carefully.

Counterweight without moving it, and gently rotate the Down force Scale

Rotate the counterweight counter clockwise (seen from the front) to

adjust the down force according to the cartridge manufacturer's recom-
