Istruzioni di installazione
Follow these steps to set up your turntable for the first time. For a visual guide, please refer to the installation video below.
- Installazione del piatto e della cinghia di trasmissione: Carefully place the turntable platter onto the spindle. Locate the drive belt (pre-installed on the platter or included separately) and gently stretch it around the motor pulley. Ensure the belt is not twisted.
- Slip Mat Placement: Place the vinyl anti-slip mat on top of the platter.
- Counterweight and Anti-Skating Setup:
a. Attach the tonearm counterweight to the rear of the tonearm. Rotate it until the tonearm floats freely and is balanced horizontally.
b. Adjust the counterweight to the recommended tracking force for the AT3600L cartridge (typically 3.5 grams). Refer to the cartridge alignment protractor for precise adjustment.
c. Attach the anti-skating weight by placing its loop on the third notch of the standing hook. This helps prevent the stylus from skipping.
