Inleiding

4. Toonarm- en patroonopstelling
The Audio-Technica AT-VM95C cartridge is pre-installed on the headshell for convenience.
- Attach the headshell (with pre-installed cartridge) to the front end of the tonearm. Secure it by rotating the locking ring.
- Install the counterweight onto the rear of the tonearm. Rotate it until the tonearm is balanced and floats horizontally.
- Set the tracking force by rotating the counterweight's numbered ring to the recommended tracking force for the AT-VM95C cartridge (typically 2.0 grams).
- Adjust the anti-skating dial to match the tracking force setting.
- The tonearm height can be adjusted within a 6mm range for different cartridges. Refer to the detailed owner's manual for advanced adjustments.

5. Verbinding met jou oudiostelsel

- Verbind die PHONO-aarddraad (gronddraad) vanaf die draaitafel na die grondterminaal op jou amplifier of phono preamplifier. This helps reduce hum.
