4. Place TONE ARM (5) on ARM REST (9) and lock it in place with the ARM CLAMP (8). 5. With the TONE ARM (5) locked on the ARM REST (9), hold the COUNTERWEIGHT (7) steady with one hand while rotating the STYLUS PRESSURE RING (10) until the numeral �0� on the ring aligns with the center line on the TONE ARM (5) rear shaft. The horizontal zero (0) balance should be completed. 6. Refloat the TONE ARM to ensure horizontal zero (0) balance. If zero balance has not been maintained, repeat counterweight steps 3 - 5. 7. After adjusting the horizontal zero (0) balance, turn the balanced COUNTERWEIGHT (7) counter clockwise until the cartridge manufacturer�s recommend stylus pressure appears on the STYLUS PRESSURE RING (10) where it meets the center line of the TONE ARM (5) rear shaft.

3. Keep the unit away from direct exposure to the sun, heat, moisture or dirt. 4. Keep the unit well ventilated.

CONNECTIONS:

Operating Instructions
BASIC OPERATION:
1. Place a record on the RUBBER MAT (3) which sits on the PLATTER (2). 2. Select the desired speed by depressing the 33 or 45 SPEED SELECTOR BUTTON (17). 3. Turn the POWER SWITCH (15) to the �ON� position, at which point the strobe illuminator (built into the POWER SWITCH (15) and the speed indicator (for the selected speed) will illuminate. 4. Remove the stylus protector (if applicable to your cartridge). 5. Release the ARM CLAMP (8) found on the ARM REST (9). 6. Push the START STOP BUTTON (16). The turntable PLATTER (2) will start to spin. 7. Push the CUE LEVER (18) to the �UP� position. 8. Position the tone arm over the desired position on the record and push the CUE LEVER to the �DOWN� position. The TONE ARM (5) will slowly lower onto the record at which time play will begin. 9. When play is over, raise the TONE ARM (5), move it to the ARM REST (9), and secure it with the ARM CLAMP (8). 10.You now have the option of turning off the power by turning the POWER SWITCH (15) to the �OFF� position, or stopping the PLATTER (2) by pushing the START STOP BUTTON (16) and engaging the electronic brake.

ADJUSTING TONE ARM HEIGHT:
The tone arm height is adjustable between 0 and 6 mm. A HEIGHT SCALE (13) (in 0.5 mm increments) is provided to aid in an accurate setting. 1. Unlock the tone arm by turning the ARM LOCK (14) knob away from the lock position. 2. Look up the cartridge height on Table A and find its corresponding height scale reading. 3. Turn the HEIGHT ADJUSTMENT RING (12) until the reference line on the ring is positioned at the correct scale reading. 4. Lock the tone arm by turning the ARM LOCK (14) knob clockwise until it reaches the lock position.

TABLE A
CARTRIDGE HEIGHT (mm) 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 SCALE READING 0 1 2 3 4 5 6

For example, if the height of the cartridge is 18.5 mm, the ARM HEIGHT ADJUSTMENT RING (12) reference line should be positioned between 3 and 4 on the HEIGHT SCALE (13).

INTERRUPTING PLAY:
1. Pushing the CUE LEVER (18) to the �UP� position will cause the TONE ARM (5) to lift stopping play. 2. Pushing the CUE LEVER (18) to the �DOWN� position will cause the TONE ARM (5) to slowly lower onto the record at the point where play was interrupted.

INSTALLING THE DUSTCOVER:
1. Hold the dustcover in position, directly above the turntable, and slide the hinge bases into the holders mounted on the rear panel. 2. Always raise the dustcover before removal. 3. Avoid opening and closing the dustcover during play. Undesirable vibration and stylus skipping can result.

PLAYING 45 RPM RECORDS:
1. When playing a 45 rpm record with a large center hole, first place the 45 ADAPTOR (19) on the center spindle. 2. Be sure that the 45 SPEED SELECTOR BUTTON (17) is pushed and the 45 speed indicator is illuminated.

UNIT PLACEMENT:
1. Place unit on a flat, vibration free surface. Use the turntable feet to horizontally stabilize the unit. 2. Try to place the unit as far away from the speakers as possible. Page 5
