1. Gently place the Platter onto the Spindle, 

making certain that the Platter is fully seated 

before proceeding to the next step. 

3b. Gently pull the Drive Belt around the Motor 

Pulley. Be careful to not allow finger grease or 

other contamination to foul the belt. 

NOTE: 

The Drive Belt comes installed around the Platter. 

4. Place the Motor Cover onto the Motor, 

making sure each side has the Drive Belt 

coming through. 

2. Place the Platter Cover onto the Platter. 

3a. Remove the plastic 

cover from the stylus. 

9

SETUP (CONTINUED) 

5. Installation of the Counterweight 

As with all quality turntables built to utilize 

aftermarket cartridges, the weight of 

the cartridge must be balanced with a 

counterweight to allow accurate setting of the 

cartridge’s downward force. 

5a. The first step is to insure a level, stable surface for 

your new turntable. 

5b. While carefully securing the tonearm from 

movement and protecting the stylus from 

damage; gently glide the counterweight with 

the numerals facing forward onto the rear of the 

tonearm. 

5c. Rotate the weight in a clockwise fashion from 

the perspective of the end of the arm opposite 

of the cartridge until the threads are just 

engaged. 

5d. With the tonearm lift lowered and the stylus 

protector removed, seek to instill a state 

of equilibrium in the arm by rotating the 

counterweight so that balance will be achieved 

in the form of a tonearm that is level and free 

from interference. 

5e. The next step is to create a reference to this 

position by rotating the numerically enhanced 

ring at the front of the counterweight to indicate 

“0” at the top position in alignment with the 

mark on the tonearm while holding the rear 

portion of the counterweight to prohibit its 

movement. 

5f. From this “0” reference place, grasp both 

the front and back of these two parts of the 

counterweight and set the weight to indicate 

“3” on the dial to align with the marking on the 

top of the tonearm. This will indicate 3 grams of 

downward force, the recommended tracking 

weight for this cartridge. 

5g. Finally, set the antiskating control to “3” to 

match the downward force setting. See page 

16 in the Operation section for possible further 

adjustments. 

NOTE: 

Other cartridges will have other requirements; 

therefore see the cartridge manufacturer’s 

documentation for settings such as downward 

force and anti-skating recommendations.

Amplifier 

Warning Regarding the PRE-AMP Switch 

This unit is equipped with a moving magnet phono 

preamplifier with RIAA equalization. This is a very convenient 

addition for those customers not possessing an amplifier or receiver with a phono input. However, caution 

should be applied to the use of this preamplifier. When you are using this preamplifier’s output as indicated 

by the “ON” designation of the switch located on the back center panel of the turntable, do not under any 

circumstances connect the RCA output connectors of the turntable to the input connections of an additional 

phono preamplifier on a receiver or amplifier often marked “Phono Input”. Excess gain from the use of the 

preamplifier in the turntable as well as the preamplifier in your amplifier or receiver may cause damage to 

your amplifier and/or speakers. 

12


On the contrary, if you have this switch in the “OFF” position and attempt to connect the turntable’s RCA 

connectors to the line input levels of a receiver or amplifier such as “Tape” or “VCR”, you will find that the 

level is insufficient and will not allow you to hear the output sufficiently. Under no circumstances do we 

recommend switching the preamplifier “ON/OFF” switch while monitoring the output with an amplifier. To 

be safe, select the appropriate switch position with the power off on the amplifier or receiver. The PRE-AMP 

switch position will not affect users of the USB function. 

7b. Slide the PRE-AMP ON/OFF switch on the rear of the 

unit to the ON position. 

8b. Insert the small end of the AC adapter into the Power 

jack (located on the rear of the unit). Connect the 

other end to a wall outlet having 120V AC, 60 Hz.

OPERATION 

1. Put a record on the turntable and remember to use the 45 

adapter if using a 45 single record. 

NOTE: Some 45 single records may not need the 45 adapter. 

2. Rotate the 33/OFF/45 control to the 33 or 45 position 

(to match the record being played); the Power indicator 

and display will light. 

3. Lift the Tone Arm and move over the Platter. The Platter will 

start spinning and the Tone Arm light will illuminate. 

4. Lower the Cue Lever. 

5. Place the Tone Arm on the edge of the record to start at the 

beginning or anywhere on the record’s playing surface to start 

playback at that point. The display will show the spectrum of the 

record’s output. 

6. If the sound is distorted, check the tonearm balance, 

counterweight and anti-skating setting previously adjusted. 

Also check for accumulated dust on the stylus by visual 

inspection. 

(See page 10 for Installation of the counterweight.) 

15

OPERATION (CONTINUED) 

7. If necessary, adjust the Anti-Skating control as previously discussed 

in the initial setup. In most cases, the Anti-Skating control should 

be set to the same number as the counterweight. Anti-Skating 

compensates for inward tracking forces that occur with all 

cartridges and typically worsen when the stylus nears the center 

of the record. If the turntable is experiencing excessive skipping 

during playback while nearing the center spindle, try increasing 

the Anti-Skating control in small increments. This control’s 

effectiveness is also dependant on tracking force used with the 

arm (i.e., the heavier the tracking weight, typically the less antiskating 

is required). 

8. To pause playback, raise the Cue Lever; to resume playback, 

lower the Cue Lever. 

9. When the record reaches the end, the turntable will stop rotating 

and the Tone Arm light will turn off. Raise the Cue Lever and move 

the Tone Arm back over the Tone Arm rest; then lower the Cue 

Lever. To stop playback before the end of the record is reached, 

raise the Cue Lever and move the Tone Arm back over the Tone 

Arm rest; then lower the Cue Lever. 

16


10. To turn the unit off, rotate the 33/OFF/45 control to the OFF position; 

the Power indicator and display will turn off. Replace plastic Stylus 

cover to protect stylus. 

NOTE: If connected to a computer (TVT2002 only), see page 23 to 

utilize the included software to record and edit the recording. 

17


REPLACING THE TURNTABLE STYLUS (NEEDLE) 

Your stylus should last for up to 400 hours. However, when the time comes to replace, 

follow the instructions below. 

1. Very gently, slide the stylus towards the front and remove 

from the assembly. 

2. To replace, slide new stylus onto the assembly.

usually a problem. If this causes skipping, make sure 

the turntable is level and adjust the counterweight 

and the anti-skating as per page 10. 

2. Make sure the turntable is not picking up vibrations 

from the floor or walls, or from direct speaker sound. 

Record is playing too fast or too slow. 

The 33/OFF/45 control is set incorrectly; make sure it is 

set to the corresponding speed. 

MAINTENANCE 

• Clean the stylus tip frequently with a soft brush in a back to front motion only. If using Stylus fluid, use it 

very sparingly. 

• When not in use, it is recommended to keep the dust cover on the unit. 

• Wipe the dust cover and turntable housing gently with a soft cloth. A small amount of mild detergent 

may be used to clean the dust cover and turntable base only. NEVER use harsh chemicals or solvents 

to clean. 

• When moving the turntable, secure the Tone Arm to the Tone Arm Rest with a twist tie and put the dust 

cover on. If you are moving the turntable a long distance, please re-use the original packing material 

and place the components of the turntable in their original locations.
