To avoid damaging the spindle when seating the platter, align the positions
of the spindle and the platter's hole, and then slowly seat the platter.
Make certain that the platter is fully seated on the spindle.
2. Place the slip mat on top of the platter.
Setting up the turntable
Position the product on a level surface.
To avoid the effects of vibrations and acoustic pressure, do not
mount the product next to such items as speakers.
The product may pick up radio static if placed next to a radio.
Therefore, try to keep the product away from radios.
If the product is near equipment (cell phone, etc.) that emits strong
radio waves, noise may occur.
Leveling the turntable
After positioning the product where you want to use it, adjust the feet
so that the product is level.
Use a level (sold separately) as needed to ensure that the product is
level.
Assembling the tonearm
1. Remove the cable tie used to secure the tonearm at the time of
delivery.
Use the clamp to temporarily secure the tonearm to the tonearm rest.
2. Insert the headshell into the tonearm.

turn the tracking force gauge ring so that its “0” position lines up
with the centerline on the back of the tonearm.
The tracking force is not adjusted simply by turning the tracking force
gauge ring.
2. Turn the counterweight and the tracking force gauge ring
together counterclockwise (to the left) until the centerline value
matches the recommended tracking force value for the cartridge
you are using.
Refer to the cartridge maker’s specifications for the recommended tracking
force value.
The standard tracking force value for the cartridge provided with this
product is 3.0 g.
Setting the anti-skate adjustment
While the record is playing, a force acts on the stylus tip to pull it
inward. This force can be counteracted by setting the same values for
anti-skate and the tracking force.
Adjust the anti-skate control dial to have the same value as the tracking
force value.
The standard tracking force value for the cartridge provided with this
product is 3.0 g.

Troubleshooting
Problem Solution
The platter does not spin. Is the power cable connected to the outlet? Connect power cable to the outlet.
Has the power cable's plug come off? Check whether or not the plug is properly attached to the product.
The platter spins, but there is
no sound or the volume is not
loud enough.
Is the cartridge's protector still in place? Remove the cartridge's protector.
Is the tonearm in the lift position? Lower the tonearm.
Are the function settings and input for connected equipment (amplifier, etc.) selected correctly? Check
whether the settings for the connected equipment are correct.
Is the stylus damaged? Check the stylus and replace it, if necessary.
Is the stylus placed correctly on the body of the cartridge? Check the cartridge and adjust it, if necessary.
Are the setting positions for the pre-amplifier selector switch correct? Check that the pre-amplifier settings
are correct, noting the following common problems and their causes:
- If there is no sound, or if the volume is not loud enough, the product is set to the “PHONO” position
and connected to the amplifier’s AUX/LINE input.
- If the volume is too loud or is distorted, the product is set to the “LINE” position and connected to the
amplifier's PHONO input.
Is the tracking force set too heavy? Adjust the tracking force.
The stylus skips. Is the tracking force set too light or too heavy? Adjust the tracking force.
Is the anti-skate set improperly? Verify anti-skate is set for same value as cartridge tracking force.
Is the record warped? Check the record.
Is the record scratched? Check the record.
There is howling. Is the product picking up excessive vibrations from the floor, surfaces of the walls, or nearby speakers?
Decrease the vibrations or mount the product on a surface that is not subject to the effects of vibrations.
Is the product mounted on an unstable surface? Check whether the surface on which the product is
mounted is suitable.
There is noise when the record
is playing.
Is there dust on the cartridge’s stylus tip? If dust is stuck to the stylus tip, clean it with a commercially
sold brush.
The sound when the record is
playing is either too fast or too
slow.
Are the speed settings for the product correct? Use the platter speed buttons to select the correct speed
for the type of record being played.
Is variable pitch engaged? Depress quartz button or return pitch adjust slider to center detent position to
engage quartz lock.
Moving pitch adjust slider
produces no effect.
