4.2 Platter and Slipmat Installation

1. Carefully place the platter onto the center spindle. Ensure it sits flush.
2. Place the slipmat on top of the platter.

4.3 Toonarm- en patroonopstelling

1. If not pre-mounted, attach the headshell with the cartridge to the tonearm. Secure it by turning the locking ring.
2. Screw the counterweight onto the rear of the tonearm.
3. Balanseer die toonarm: Laat die toonarm clamp. Adjust the counterweight until the tonearm is perfectly balanced and floats horizontally.
4. Stel dopkrag in: Return the tonearm to its rest and clamp it. Rotate the numbered ring on the counterweight to '0' without moving the counterweight itself. Then, rotate the entire counterweight to the recommended tracking force for your cartridge (typically 2-4 grams for DJ cartridges).
5. Stel Anti-Skate: Verstel die anti-skaatsskakelaar om by die dopkraginstelling te pas.

4.4 Using the Digital Stylus Scale

The included digital stylus scale allows for precise measurement of your cartridge's tracking force, ensuring optimal sound quality and minimizing record wear.

1. Place the stylus scale on the platter.
2. Skakel die skaal aan met die kragknoppie.
3. Carefully lower the stylus onto the designated measuring point on the scale.
4. Read the tracking force displayed. Adjust the tonearm's counterweight as needed until the desired force is achieved.

4.5 Verbindings

1. Oudio-uitvoer: Connect the RCA cables from the turntable's audio output to the PHONO input of your mixer or amplifier. If your mixer/amplifier does not have a PHONO input, you will need an external phono preamplewendiger.
2. Gronddraad: Connect the ground wire from the turntable to the ground terminal on your mixer or ampverligter om hum te verminder.
3. Krag: Connect the power cable to the turntable and then to a suitable AC power outlet.
