- Once the belt is wrapped around the pulley, remove the ribbon.
- Rotate the platter to ensure the belt is not twisted.
- Install the turntable mat by placing it over the spindle.
2. Tonearm Balancing and Tracking Force Adjustment
Proper tonearm balance ensures maximum sound clarity and minimizes wear to your records and stylus.

- Зніміце пратэктар стылуса.
- Unlock the tonearm using the tonearm lock.
- Lift the cueing lever and position the tonearm over the platter.
- While holding the headshell, lower the cueing lever without letting the needle touch the platter.
- Turn the counterweight until the tonearm floats parallel to the mat. It should be as level as possible.
- Return the tonearm to the tonearm rest and lock it in place.
- Turn only the counterweight indicator ring to '0' on the center line. Do not turn the entire weight.
- Turn the entire counterweight counter-clockwise until the number '2' is on the center line. This sets the tracking force to 2 grams, which is optimal for this turntable.
- Locate the anti-skating dial next to the tonearm base and set it to '2'.

3. Падключэнне да Ampпад'ёмнік або прыёмнік
The RT81 features a built-in pre-amplifier. Determine if your receiver has a dedicated phono input.
- If your receiver has a phono input: Connect the red and white RCA cables from the turntable's audio outputs to the corresponding left (white) and right (red) phono inputs on your receiver. Ensure the turntable's PHONO/LINE switch is set to 'PHONO'. Connect the ground wire from the turntable to the grounding nut on your receiver.
- If your receiver does NOT have a phono input: Connect the red and white RCA cables from the turntable's audio outputs to any available line-level input (e.g., CD, AUX, Tuner) on your receiver. Ensure the turntable's PHONO/LINE switch is set to 'LINE'. The ground cable is not required when using the internal pre-amp.
