[. . . ] Store it in the original packaging so it is available for any future transportation. Fit the drive belt (3) around the hub (4) and the smaller diameter part of the motor pulley (2). Avoid getting sweat or grease on the belt as these will deteriorate the performance and reduce the belt's lifespan. Use absorbent kitchen paper to remove any oil or grease from the outer edge of the hub and the belt. [. . . ] Fit the platter (5) and felt mat over the spindle of the hub (4). Cartridge downforce adjustment The counterweights (6) supplied are suitable for cartridges weighing between 4, 5 - 6g (Ortofon OM 10 weight no. Pushing carefully, turn the counterweight (6) onto the rear end of the tonearm tube (9), so that the downforce scale (6a) shows towards the front of the player. Lower the armlift and position the cartridge in the space between arm rest and platter. Carefully rotate the counterweight (6) until the armtube balances out. The arm should return to the balanced position if it is moved up or down. Hold the counterweight (6) without moving it, and gently revolve the downforce scale ring (6a) until the zero is in line with the anti-skating prong (15). Rotate the counterweight counter clockwise (seen from the front) to adjust the downforce according to the cartridge manufacturer's recommendations. One mark on the scale represents 1 mN (= 0, 1g / 0, 1 Pond) of downforce. Please note: Adjust the downforce prior to installing the anti-skating weight. The recommended downforce for the Ortofon 2M Red cartridge is 17, 5mN. Anti-skating force adjustment The anti-skating force must be adjusted corresponding to the downforce as follows: Downforce Groove in the stub (15) 10 - 14mN 1st from bearing rings 15 - 19mN 2nd " " " rd 20mN and bigger 3 " " " Slip the loop of the anti-skating weight's thread over the second groove of the stub to set the correct antiskating force for the factory-fitted cartridge. Feed the thread through the loop of the wire support (17). Connection to the amplifier The record player has gold plated female RCA phono sockets (14) so you can substitute the interconnect cables supplied with higher quality cables such as the Pro-Ject Connect it interconnect cables for connection to the amplifier if you wish.

Never use a dry cloth because this will create static electricity which attract more dust!Antistatic cleaning fluids are available at specialist stores but must be applied sparingly to avoid damage to rubber parts. It is recommended to fit the needle cover before cleaning or maintenance is carried out to avoid damage. If the player is not used over a long period of time the drive belt can be removed to prevent unequal stretching. ! Always disconnect the record player from the mains power supply as a precaution before maintenance!
