Place the glass platter onto the sub-platter (frosted side
down).

Then place the felt mat on the platter. The soft mat pre-
vents slippage during playback and minimises wear
and tear on your records.
Place the balance weight on the base so that it sits
exactly above the front left sub-chassis foot (this is its
default position). Move the balance weight for fine ad-
justment, determining the best position through listen-
ing tests.

This almost completes the assembly of the turntable.
The only part missing now is the tonearm counter-
weight.
