2. Align the new stylus cartridge and push it upwards and backwards until it clicks into place.
3. Re-balance the tonearm if necessary.

6. Troubleshooting

• No Power: Ensure the power adapter is securely connected to both the unit and a working power outlet. Check if the volume knob is turned on.
