  2. Adjust the counterweight until the tonearm is balanced and floats horizontally.
  3. Set the tracking force to the recommended 2.0 grams by rotating the counterweight.
  4. Set the anti-skating control to '2' to match the tracking force.

4. Connecting to Audio System

The RT81 features a built-in Texas Instruments preamp, offering flexibility in connection options.

  • Using Built-in Preamp: Set the PHONO/LINE switch on the back of the turntable to ЛИНЕ. Connect the RCA cables from the turntable's AUDIO OUTPUT to any available line-level input (e.g., AUX, CD) on your amplifier or powered speakers. The ground wire is not needed in this configuration.
  • Using External Preamp: Set the PHONO/LINE switch on the back of the turntable to ПХОНО. Connect the RCA cables from the turntable's AUDIO OUTPUT to the PHONO input on your external preamp or receiver. Connect the ground wire from the turntable's ground post to the ground terminal on your external preamp/рецеивер.
