4. Vastapainon asennus: Slide the counterweight onto the rear of the tonearm. Rotate it until the tonearm is balanced and floats freely. Then, adjust the counterweight to the recommended tracking force (refer to cartridge specifications, typically around 2-3 grams for the AT3600).

If your amplifier only has AUX/LINE inputs, switch the turntable's internal pre-amplifier to 'ON' and connect to an available AUX/LINE input. Ensure the ground wire is connected to your amplifier's ground terminal if available.
