Rotating the platter

  1. Remove the vinyl tie securing the tonearm. Release the tonearm rest clamp and lift the tonearm with the lift control lever. Slowly rotate the turntable ten times by hand in the direction of the arrow.

    • You may want to hold the tonearm to prevent it from moving. This step is for resetting the auto mechanism, getting rid of any twists in the drive belt, and making sure the drive belt rides smoothly along the drive rim on the underside of the platter.
