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

5.1 અનપેકિંગ અને પ્લેસમેન્ટ

  1. પેકેજિંગમાંથી તમામ ઘટકોને કાળજીપૂર્વક દૂર કરો.
  2. Place the turntable on a stable, level surface away from direct sunlight, heat, and vibrations.

  2. Locate the drive belt. Gently stretch the belt around the inner rim of the platter and then around the motor pulley. Ensure the belt is not twisted.
  3. થાળીની ટોચ પર લાગ્યું સાદડી મૂકો.

5.3 Tonearm Balance and Tracking Force Adjustment

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

  1. સ્ટાઈલસ પ્રોટેક્ટરને દૂર કરો.
  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 Anti-skate Adjustment

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).
