[. . . ] · Locations exposed to moisture or humidity. · Cartridge may pick up slight sound pressure or vibrations of the speakers coming along the floow or though the air resulting in feedback or howling sound. Find a location which is very stable and vibration free. · The legs have functions for adjusting the height of the unit itself. [. . . ] "Level balance" means that the tonearm is parallel to the record on the platter, and that the tonearm pipe, therefore, should not tilt toward the counterweight side or the headshell side. Return the tonearm to the arm rest and fasten the arm clamp. Since the tracking force is zero when the tonearm is balanced level, turn just the tracking-foce scale ring in front of the counter-weight, and set the "0" on the scale to the index line on the shaft. When doing so, be sure to hold the counterweight with the other hand so that it does not turn together with the scale ring. NOTE: The MG-2831 cartridge that comes with the set has a tracking force of 2g. Turn the counterweight to the 2 mark. Tracking Force Adjustment Turning the counterweight, set the correct tracking force opposite the index line on the counterweight shaft. The tracking-force scale ring has 0. 25g steps and one full turn of the counterweight will yield a tracking force of 3g. Scale ring Anti-Skating Adjustment To adjust the Anti-skating mechanism, turn the Anti-Skate Knob so that the number corresponding to the required tracking force is opposite the index line. The numbers on the Anti-Skate Knob correspond to 1g of tracking force. 4 CONTROLS AND OPERATION 1. Turn the (On/Off Switch) clockwise to turn on the power, the speed indicator and the strobeilluminator, which is located beneath the On/Off switch, will light up. When playing a 45rpm record with a large center hole, place the 45rpm adapter on the center spindle. Remove the stylus protector from the Headshell Stylus, release the Tonearm clamp. Set the cueing lever to the up position. Press the Start/Stop Button, the turntable platter will start to rotate. 7. Move the tonearm over he desired groove. Set the cueing lever to the down position, the tonearm will descend slowly onto the record and begin playing. When play is finished, raise the cueing lever, move the tonearm onto the Tonearm clamp. Press the Start/Stop Button to stop the platter from rotating. Turn the On/Off Switch counterclockwise to turn off the power. SUSPEND PLAY Set the cueing lever to "UP" position during play, the stylus tip of the cartridge will be lifted from the record. 5 CONNECTIONS This set's phono cables and ground lead are attached to the rear panel of the turntable. The phono cable with the white plug is for the left channel and the one with the red plug is for the right channel. The thin wire with the Y-shaped connector at the end is the ground lead. This should be firmly connected to the ground terminal on the mixer. The way in which the phono cables are attached will depend on the type of cartridge used. Read the instructions in the booklet that comes with the cartridge as well as the operating instructions of the mixer and connect the phono cables properly.
