counterclockwise until the indicator
ring is set to “2” on the center line.
This will set the tracking force to the
recommended 2.0 Gram tracking force
of the included Audio Technica stylus.
This turntable includes a built-in preamp. To enable the internal preamp set the
switch on the back of the unit to the LINE position.
Optional:
If you wish to use an external preamp you can disable the internal preamp by moving the switch to the PHONO position.
Ensure the power adapter is securely connected to a power outlet. Insert the
power cable into the power input on the back of the turntable.
8. Set the anti-skating control to “2”
to match the tracking force.
Tip: When setting the counterweight to 2 make sure you
are turning the entire weight and not just the counterweight
indicator ring.
