Mounting armboard and tonearm:
Be sure that you have an armboard with the correct pre-cut. Mount armbase on the armboard
and then mount armboard on the turntable with four Allen keys. Fix firmly. The armboard
can be fixed in both directions, so be sure you mount it correctly orientated. If necessary a
second cut can be made on the armboard, but this is made of aluminium.
Mount the arm as instructed in the tonearm instruction manual. Readjust the suspension due
to the added weight, as described before, but now be more precise regarding level so that the
lower edge of the subchassis is aligned with the markings on the suspension towers. Again
retest movement of the suspension. Route tonearm cable underneath the turntable, below the
armboard.
Use and adjustments
Platter rotation:
Ensure that the red LED lights up and the green display shows selected speed, when the MCU
is switch on. Press the start button. It is normal to hear some crackling sounds made by the
belt and this will disappear in a few days. If constant noise is heard, then check the height of
the subchassis or the position of the belt on motor pulleys.
Fine speed adjustment:
Observe on a strobe disc if the bars are stationary. If not (bars move in the same direction as
platter rotation then the speed is too high) then press the plus or minus buttons few times until
the bars are stationary (there are very small steps- so keep pressing). On the display you will
see a green dot in the right bottom corner indicating that change is in process. Using a sharp
pen, press the “store” button and the green dot will disappear. Check speed independently for
both speeds. When using the strobe disc, be sure that you use it properly. Check that you are
looking at the correct speed and are using the correct strobe light.
Factory preset speed:
If you find out that your speed selection is out of range for some reason you should reset PS to
factory set outputs.
Turn the power off, wait 10 sec, press and hold the speed button and then press the power on.
When the display shows CU, release the speed button. The display will now show FA and
then 33. Your PS is now preset for factory preset speeds.
Clamp:
The function of the clamp is to press the record close to the platter mat, thus minimizing
vibration between record and platter and decreasing warps of the record itself.
See section “suspension adjustment on page 6 regarding height of the subchassis, when adding
extra weight like clamp.
The clamp can be used without washers. Gently screw down the clamp on top of the record.
