Precautions

Thank you for purchasing this fine product. 1. Always clean

1. Power sources

This product should be operated only from the type of power source indicated on the marking label. If you are not sure of the type of power supply to your home, consult your product dealer or local Power Company.

2. Do not block the ventilation slots

Do not block the ventilation slots. Do not place objects on the unit as the heat generated inside does dissipate. This could cause increased internal temperature and have an adverse effect on the performance of its different components. Remember that an important part of the heat is generated by using the plate for extended periods of time, with high levels of output power.

3. Installation precautions

Do not install the unit in any of the following locations since this may result in a deterioration in performance or malfunction:
- Locations exposed to direct sunlight or near object radiating heat such as heating appliances.
- Locations exposed to moisture or humidity.
- Cartridge may pick up slight sound pressure or vibrations of the speakers coming along the floor or though the air resulting in feedback or howling sound. Find a location which is very stable and vibration free.
- The legs have functions for adjusting the height of the unit itself. Adjust the legs to stabilize the main body horizontally.
3. The model may not be able to perform at its best in an extremely cold environment. The optimum ambient temperature range is 0^ and 35^ .

Operation Precautions

the stylus both before and after playing a record with a soft brush, and try to make it a rule to clean the record with a soft brush and try to make it a rule to clean the records with a good quality cleaner.

1. Be careful not to make the turntable vibrate while a record is playing, since this can result in damage to the stylus and record.
2. When clanging over the headshell, clamp the tonearm to the arm rest so that the tonearm shaft is not strained in any way.
3. Place only one record at a time on the platter. If two or more records are sacked on the platter, the stylus will not make proper contact with the grooves, and this will impair the quality of reproduction.
4. Volatile materials should not be used, such as: alcohol, thinner, benzone etc. They may remove the painter or damage the lustre, please avoid.

2. Set the turntable platter onto the [3] center spindle.

1. Attaching the Drive Belt

The belt has been properly positioned on the motor pulley, remove the ribbon and place the rubber mat and then set the slip mat on the platter.

1. Installation of cartridge

When installing a cartridge, refer to the operating Instructions for that particular cartridge.

During installation, attach the stylus protector to guard the stylus tip from damage.

a) Connect the lead wires to the cartridge terminals. 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

b) Install the cartridge to the [8] headshaft and tighten it with screws provided with the cartridge.

1. Insert the headshell into the front end of the [10] tonearm, then turn the lock nut counterclockwise with the [8] headshell firmly held horizontally.
2. Slide [16] counterweight onto [11] forearm. Twist it lightly and it will screw onto the rear shaft of the tonearm.

1. Set the [14] anti-skating control knob to the same value as the stylus.

Adjusting the Tonearm

Level Balance Adjustment

1. Set the ANTI-SKATE knob to "0".
2. Release the arm clamp and move the tonearm to the space between the arm rest and the platter, taking care not to damage the stylus,

3. Sel the CUEING lever to the down position.

4. Support the headshell's finger lift with one hand and attain the level balance by turning the counterweight either clockwise or counter-clockwise.

"Level balance" means that the tonearm is parallel to the record on the platter, and that the tonearm pipe, therefore, should not tilt toward the counterweight side or the headshell side.
5. Return the tonearm to the arm rest and fasten the arm clamp.

1. Since the tracking force is zero when the tonearm is balanced level, turn just the tracking-foce scale ring in front of the counter-weight, and set the ^*0 on the scale to the index line on the shaft.
   When doing so, be sure to hold the countenweight with the other hand so that it does not turn together with the scale ring.

Tracking Force Adjustment

Turning the counterweight, set the correct tracking force opposite the Index line on the counterweight shaft. The tracking-force scale ring has 0.25g steps and one full turn of the counterweight will yield a tracking force of 3g.

NOTE:

The MG 2831 cartridge that comes with the set has a tracking force of 2g. Turn the counterweight to the 2 mark.

Anti-Skating Adjustment

To adjust the Anti-skating mechanism, turn the Anti-Skate Knob so that the number corresponding to the required tracking force is opposite the index line. The numbers on the Anti-Skate Knob correspond to 1g of tracking force.

Controls and Operation

1. Turn the (On/Off Switch) clockwise to turn on the power, the speed indicator and the strobeilluminator which is located beneath the On/Off switch, will light up.
2. Place a record on the slip mat. When playing a 45-rpm record with a large center hole, place the 45-rpm adapter on the center spindle.
3. Set the speed to match the record.
4. Remove the stylus protector from the Headshell Stylus, release the Tonearm clamp.
5. Set the cueing lever to the up position.

6. Press the Start/Stop Button, the tumetable platter will start to rotate.

7. Move the tonearm over he desired groove.

8. Set the cueing lever to the down position, the tonearm will descend slowly onto the record and begin playing.
9. When play is finished, raise the cueing lever, move the tonearm onto the Tonearm clamp.
10. Press the Start/Stop Button to stop the platter from rotating. Turn the On/Off Switch counterclockwise to turn off the power.

Suspend Play

Set the cueing lever to "UP" position during play, the stylus tip of the cartridge will be lifted from the record.

Connections

This set's phono cables and ground lead are attached to the rear panel of the turntable. The phono cable with the white plug is for the left channel and the one with the red plug is for the right channel. The thin wire with the Y-shaped connector at the end is the ground lead.

This should be firmly connected to the ground terminal on the mixer.

The way in which the phono cables are attached will depend on the type of cartridge used. Read the instructions in the booklet that comes with the cartridge as well as the operating instructions of the mixer and connect the phono cables properly.

Finally, plus the power cord into the power consent.

Stylus Replacement

The life expectancy of the stylus tip is 500 hours. For the sake of maximum sound quality reproduction, we recommend replacement within the minimum time limit.

1. The stylus tip is replaced by grasping the stylus holder and pulling it away from the body of the cartridge.
2. The new stylus tip s then Inserted by pushing it into the receptacle.

Cartridge Replacement

Remove the headshell from the tonearm, and the screws that hold the cartridge. Pull out the tour lead wires from the cartridge itself. To protect the lead wires at this point, remove the terminal pins with pliers or the tip of the screwdriver.
The terminals on the accessory headshell are aligned according to the arrangement below. Check the location and polarity of each of the cartridge's terminal pins and then connect the lead wires, taking care not to get the polarities mixed up.

Red:Right channel

White: Left channel

Green:Right channel ground
