4.3 Баланс ручице и сила праћења
The Ortofon 2M Red cartridge is pre-mounted. However, proper tonearm balance and tracking force adjustment are crucial for optimal sound and record preservation.
- With the anti-skate weight removed, carefully unclip the tonearm and move it away from the tonearm rest.
- Rotate the counterweight on the rear of the tonearm until the tonearm floats freely and is perfectly balanced horizontally.
- Once balanced, return the tonearm to its rest. Hold the counterweight steady and rotate the numbered ring until '0' aligns with the line on the tonearm.
- Rotate the entire counterweight counter-clockwise until the desired tracking force is set. For the Ortofon 2M Red, the recommended tracking force is typically 1.8 grams.

4.4 Anti-Skate Adjustment
The anti-skate mechanism prevents the tonearm from being pulled inwards towards the center of the record. Attach the small loop of the anti-skate weight's thread to the second groove of the anti-skate stub on the tonearm support.
4.5 Повезивање са Ampлифиер
Connect the supplied RCA cable from the turntable's output jacks to the 'Phono' input on your ampзвучник или наменски фоно пре-ampлифиер. Ако је ваш amplifier does not have a 'Phono' input, you will need an external phono pre-amplifier. Connect the ground wire from the turntable to the ground terminal on your amplifier or phono pre-ampублаживач за минимизирање зујања.
