Follow these steps to set up your turntable for first use.

5.1 Pakkauksesta purkaminen ja sijoittaminen

1. Poista kaikki osat varovasti pakkauksesta.
2. Place the turntable on a stable, level surface away from direct sunlight, heat, and vibrations.
3. Ensure there is enough space around the turntable for proper ventilation and operation.

5.2 Levylautasen ja hihnan asennus

1. Place the platter onto the turntable spindle.
2. Paikanna käyttöhihna. Kiristä hihnaa varovasti levylautasen sisäreunan ja sitten moottorin hihnapyörän ympäri. Varmista, ettei hihna ole kiertynyt.
3. Aseta huopamatto lautasen päälle.

5.3 Äänivarren tasapaino ja seurantavoiman säätö

Proper tonearm adjustment is crucial for optimal sound quality and to prevent damage to your records and stylus.

1. Irrota kynän suojus.
2. Place the counterweight onto the rear of the tonearm. Rotate it clockwise until it is approximately halfway on.
3. With the cueing lever in the down position, carefully balance the tonearm by rotating the counterweight until the tonearm floats horizontally. Do not let the stylus touch the platter or record.
4. Once balanced, hold the counterweight steady and rotate the numbered ring on the front of the counterweight until "0" aligns with the line on the tonearm.
5. Rotate the entire counterweight (both parts) counter-clockwise to the recommended tracking force. For the pre-installed cartridge, a tracking force of 2.0 grams is typically recommended. Refer to your cartridge manufacturer's specifications for precise values.

5.4 Luistoneston säätö

The anti-skate mechanism prevents the tonearm from being pulled inward excessively.

1. Attach the small loop of the anti-skate weight's thread to the anti-skate post on the tonearm.
2. Pass the thread through the wire support.
3. Set the anti-skate dial to the same value as your tracking force (e.g., 2.0 for 2.0 grams tracking force).

5.5 Ääniliitäntä

Connect your turntable to an audio system.

• Using Built-in Preamplifier (Line Out): Connect the RCA cables from the turntable's RCA outputs to a Line-level input (AUX, CD, Tuner) on your amplifier or powered speakers. Set the Phono/Line switch on the turntable's rear panel to "Line".
• Using External Preamplifier (Phono Out): Jos sinun amplifier has a dedicated Phono input, connect the RCA cables from the turntable's RCA outputs to the Phono input on your amplifier. Set the Phono/Line switch on the turntable's rear panel to "Phono". Connect the ground wire from the turntable to the ground terminal on your ampelävämpi.
