This arm base (universal) has no tone arm mounting hole. If your tone arm is not found in the list of optional arm 

bases, use this arm base after making a tone arm mounting hole for mounting. Make the mounting hold shape and decide its 
position by following the operating instructions of your tone arm.

1. Remove the screws (6 pieces) that attach the arm base 

cover using the supplied hex wrench.

2. Mount the tone arm on the optional arm base.
3. Align the mounting holes between the tone arm-mounted 

arm base and this product.

  Adjust the position relationship between the arm base 

and main unit according to the operating instructions of 
the optional arm base.

4. Insert the mounting screw into the hole of the arm base 

and tighten it using the hex wrench securely.

  If the screw is not sufficiently tightened, the sound quality 

may be adversely affected. Thus tighten the screw securely.

5. Connect the supplied phono cable to the tone arm se-

curely.

securing cushion.
