and ensure the turntable is placed on
a sturdy and level surface. Place the
metal platter onto the spindle located
in the middle of the turntable.
2. Rotate the platter until the rubber
belt installation ribbon aligns with the
motor pulley. Remove the tape from
the installation ribbon.
3. Use the installation ribbon to lift the
rubber belt and place it around the

ribbon and rotate the platter several
times to ensure the rubber belt is
secure and not twisted.
4. Place the turntable mat on top of
the platter.
Note: When using the Fluance rubber turntable mat
ensure the Fluance logo is facing up when placing
the mat.

Step Four: Balancing the Tonearm
Important!
Complete all steps for balancing the tonearm. Incorrect tonearm balancing can cause damage to the stylus
and to your records. For additional assistance go to: www.uance.com/support to watch a tutorial video for
this process
1. Remove the stylus protector.
3. Position the tonearm over the platter.
5. With the cueing lever now lowered, turn the entire counterweight until the tonearm is
balanced and floating horizontally when headshell is released.
Tip: When balancing the tonearm make sure the cueing lever is down and the anti-skating control is set to 0.
6. Set only the counterweight indicator ring to “0” on the center line while keeping the
tonearm balanced then lock the tonearm on the tonearm rest.
2. Unlock the tonearm and lift the cueing
lever.
4. Hold the headshell and lower the
cueing lever completely. Protect the
stylus from touching the platter.

Step Four (Continued): Balancing the Tonearm
Step Five: Setting the Preamp Switch
This turntable includes a built-in preamp. To enable the internal preamp set the switch on
the back of the unit to the LINE position.
7. Rotate the entire counterweight
counterclockwise until the indicator
ring is set to “2” on the center line.
This will set the tracking force to the
recommended 2.0 gram tracking
force of the included stylus.
8. Set the anti-skating control to “2” to
match the tracking force.
Tip: When setting the counterweight make sure
you are turning the entire weight and not just the
counterweight indicator ring.
Optional:
If you wish to use an external preamp you can disable the internal preamp by moving the switch to the
PHONO position. All electronics are bypassed when the internal preamp is disabled.

Step Six: Connecting the Power
Ensure the power adapter is securely connected to a power outlet. Insert the power ca-
ble into the power input on the back of the turntable.
Step Seven: Connecting the RCA Cable
The included RCA cable has a ground cable attached. When using the internal preamp
the ground cable is not required. Connect the RCA cables to the audio outputs on the
back of the turntable and then plug the other end into your stereo.
Optional:
When using an external preamp the ground cable should be connected to the ground terminal on the back
of the turntable and also connected to the external preamp. Connect the RCA cables to the audio outputs
on the back of the turntable and then plug the other end into your preamp.
Ground Cable (Optional)
Important: Only use the official power adapter included with your turntable.
