   (e) Refasten the tonearm with the arm clamp.
   (f) Hold the counterweight stationary with one hand and rotate only the stylus-pressure ring to bring the number "0" of the ring into alignment with the center line on the tonearm rear shaft.
   (g) Rotate the counterweight clockwise until the scale shows the value corresponding to the pressure of the used stylus, typically 4 grams.

9. Set the anti-skating control knob to the same value as the stylus pressure.

10. Install the dust cover to the main unit.

Placement

- Do not place the unit in a location where it will be exposed to direct sunlight or near a heating appliance.

• Do not place the unit in a location where there is high humidity or a lot of dust.
• Cartridge may pick up sound pressures or vibrations from the speakers coming along the floor or through the air resulting in howling. 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.

Connections

1. Connect the power cord to the household AC outlet.
2. Connect the unit output terminals to the PHONO inputs of your mixer.

Remote Start

The remote start jack socket is located at the rear of the deck. When a jack plug is inserted and connected to a compatible mixer e.g. Station 9, CDM8:4. The deck will be able to be started automatically from the mixer remote start control.

Changing the Speed

As long as the pitch control (13) is in center click position, the turntable is operated with quartz-controlled speed.

The Blue LED (12) will then be lit.

The speed can be increased or decreased by 10% via the pitch control (13). The Blue LED (12) will then be off.

The Trim control (15) can be used to provide an increased range of pitch control adjustment in order to have the turntable rotate extremely slow or fast.

For DJ Mixer operation, the start/stop function can be remotely controlled by a separate switch. Use the jack remote socket (9) to connect this to the mixer option.

Maintenance

● Clean the stylus periodically with a soft brush to prevent the accumulation of dust.
- When the sound becomes distorted or noisy, check the stylus. If worn out, replace it with a new one.
●From time to time, the dust cover and turntable cabinet should be wiped with a soft, dry cloth.

Cartridge Replacement
