1 FOR PART NUMBERS AND LOCATIONS. VOLTAGE SELECTION: Rotate the PLATTER (2) until the VOLTAGE SELECTOR (3) (located on the TURNTABLE BASE (1)) is visible through one of the platter holes. Make sure that the VOLTAGE SELECTOR (3) switch is set to the correct voltage. WARNING: IF YOU TRY TO OPERATE THE TURNTABLE WITH THE INCORRECT VOLTAGE SETTING, IT CAN DAMAGE YOUR TURNTABLE. ATTACHING THE TURNTABLE BELT: The TURNTABLE BELT (4A) comes attached to the PLATTER (2) and the MOTOR SPINDLE (4B) but can some times detach in shipping. Rotate the PLATTER (2) and look through the platter holes to check if belt detached. If the belt is not wrapped tightly around the platter and the MOTOR SPINDLE (4B), you need to reattach it. 1. First, place a screwdriver in the center of LOCKING WASHER (4C) around the CENTER SPINDLE (4) and gently pry the washer off. (4) 2. Remove the platter and wrap the belt around the inner circle under the platter. DO NOT STRETCH OUT THE BELT. 3. Replace the platter and rotate the PLATTER (2) until the MOTOR SPINDLE (4B) is visible, then fit your fingers in hole on the top of the PLATTER (2), feel for and grab the rubber belt and attach to the motor spindle. 4. Replace the locking washer. TURNTABLE INSTALLATION: 1. Put the RUBBER MAT (5) on the PLATTER (2). 2. Set the TURNTABLE BASE (1) on a flat, level surface free of vibration. Use the turntable feet to horizontally stabilize the unit. 3. Try to place the unit as far away from the speakers as possible. 4. Keep the unit away from direct exposure to the sun, heat, moisture or dirt. 5. Keep the unit well ventilated. CARTRIDGE INSTALLATION: (SEE FIG. 2) Because all cartridges have their own designs, please refer to your particular cartridge's instructions to insure proper installation. 1. Connect the lead wires to the cartridge terminals. For your convenience, the terminals of most cartridges are color coded. Connect each lead wire to the terminal of the same color. White (L+).................Left Channel + Blue (L-)...................Left Channel - Red (R+)....................Right Channel + Green (R-).................Right Channel - 2. Mount the cartridge in the HEADSHELL (6) and tighten it with the screws included with the cartridge. ATTENTION STANTON 680 CARTRIDGE USERS When using a Stanton 680 or similar cartridge, where the body is grounded to a cartridge terminal, remove the grounding strap from the cartridge body to the cartridge ground terminal. Failure to do this may result in excessive hum. HEADSHELL INSTALLATION: Insert the HEADSHELL (6) into the front of the tubular TONE ARM (7). While holding the HEADSHELL firmly in a horizontal position, turn the LOCKING NUT (8) counter clockwise until the HEADSHELL is locked in place. COUNTERWEIGHT INSTALLATION: (SEE FIG. 3A & 3B) 1. Slide the COUNTERWEIGHT (9) onto the rear of the TONE ARM (7) with the numbered stylus gauge facing forward. 2. Twist the COUNTERWEIGHT (9) lightly counter clockwise, to screw it onto the rear of the TONE ARM (7). ADJUSTING HORIZONTAL ZERO (0) BALANCE AND STYLUS PRESSURE: 1. Without touching the stylus tip, remove the stylus protector (if your cartridge has a detachable one). 2. Release the ARM CLAMP (10) and lift the TONE ARM (7) off the ARM REST (11). 3. Counter clockwise advancement of the COUNTERWEIGHT (9) will cause the cartridge side of the TONE ARM (7) to be lowered. Clock wise will cause the opposite. Turn the COUNTERWEIGHT clockwise or counter clockwise as needed until the TONE ARM (7) is balanced horizontally. You can easily tell this by watching for the point where the TONE ARM (7) “floats” freely. 4. Place TONE ARM (7) on ARM REST (11) and lock it in place with the ARM CLAMP (10). 5. With the TONE ARM (7) locked on the ARM REST (11), hold the COUNTERWEIGHT (9) steady with one hand while rotating the STYLUS PRESSURE RING (12) until the numeral “0” on the ring aligns with the center line on the TONE ARM rear shaft. The horizontal zero (0) balance should be completed. 6. Refloat the TONE ARM to ensure horizontal zero (0) balance. If zero balance has not been maintained, repeat counterweight steps 3-5. 7. After adjusting the horizontal zero (0) balance, turn the balanced COUNTERWEIGHT (7) counter clockwise until the cartridge manufacturer's recommend stylus pressure appears on the STYLUS PRESSURE RING (12) where it meets the center line of the TONE ARM (7) rear shaft. ADJUSTING THE ANTI-SKATING CONTROL: Set the ANTI-SKATING CONTROL (13) to the same value as the stylus pressure. NOTE: THE CN- 25 CARTRIDGE THAT COMES WITH THE TURNTABLE HAS A RECOMMENED TRACKING FORCE OF 3.0 GRAMS AND CAN HAVE RANGE FROM 2.5 - 3.5 GRAMS. INSTALLING THE DUSTCOVER: 1. Hold the dustcover in position, directly above the turntable, and slide the hinge bases into the holders mounted on the rear panel. 2. Always raise the dustcover before removal. 3. Avoid opening and closing the dustcover during play. Undesirable vibration and stylus skip...
