4.2 Installing the Dust Cover
Align the hinges of the dust cover with the slots on the back of the turntable and gently push down until it clicks into place. The dust cover protects your vinyl records and the turntable components from dust and damage.
4.3 Aġġustament tal-Kontropiż
The adjustable counterweight allows you to fine-tune the tracking force of the tonearm, which is crucial for optimal sound quality and to prevent damage to your records. Follow these steps:
- Neħħi l-protettur tal-istilus.
- Balance the tonearm: Gently move the tonearm off its rest. Rotate the counterweight until the tonearm floats horizontally, parallel to the platter, without touching the surface.
- Set tracking force: Once balanced, hold the counterweight steady and rotate the numbered ring until '0' aligns with the line on the tonearm. Then, rotate the entire counterweight (including the numbered ring) counter-clockwise to the recommended tracking force (typically 2.5-3.5 grams for most cartridges, refer to cartridge specifications if available).
Proper counterweight adjustment helps maintain the peak of the music without noise and distortion, and protects records from excessive wear.
