Remove the fixing foam on the horizontal bearing assembly. Check that the bias thread is fixed and
gently rotate horizontal bearing assembly from one to another extreme. It is only possible to make
approximately ¼ of a turn. It is normal to feel slack in the bearings.

Tube assembly:
Carefully take the tube assembly with cable (there is also a heavy connection box) and gently position
it around the horizontal bearing assembly so that the two points will fit into the appropriate bearing
cups. Position it into the armrest.
(Fig. 2&4)

Remove cable from the tube assembly by releasing the black cable holder from the transport position
with the 1.5 mm Allen key. Fix it to the empty pin at the back of the VTA tower, below the VTA
locking lever. Fix it in such way, that the naked wires will go upwards towards the tube in a loop. Be
sure, that the VTA arm tower is fixed in the armbase, because the weight of the cable might otherwise
rotate it. (Fig.1)

3. Setting up the tonearm

Connecting tonearm:
Check the horizontal movement of the tube to ensure that the headshell will reach the inner grooves
(approximately to the edge of record label), but will not travel to the centre of the record. Also check
the arm wire loop and connect the tonearm cable into the phono sockets of the preamp. (Fig.1)
You can add a second set of RCA cables into the termination box and connect this to a second phono
unit input. We do not recommend that both cables are connected to the same two input of a single
phono preamp. Disconnect one set. Secure the termination box using a Velcro strip or long screws
onto the turntable stand, somewhere to the rear.

Due to the high tonearm mass, turntable levelling and suspension should be checked and adjusted
according to the turntable manual.
