ATTACHING THE CARTRIDGE
You can attach any cartridge to this turntable
weighing between 4g and 10g on condition that
only the accessory headshell is used with it. Follow
the procedure outlined below for attaching the
cartridge to the headshell.
1. Take out the headshell, cartridge mounting
screws, nuts, washers and small-sized screwdriver
from the accessory box.
The screws come in three different lengths so
choose the screws according to the height of the
cartridge you intend to attach.
2.The terminals on the accessory headshell are
aligned as shown in Fig. 1. Check the location
and polarity of each of the cartridge's terminal
pins and then connect the lead wires, taking care
not to get the polarities mixed up.
NOTE:
Do not solder when you connect the lead wires to the
cartridge. If the lead wire lugs are loose, use a pair of
tweezers or a similar object to push in the end lightly.
3. Attach the cartridge lightly to the headshell
using the screws, nuts and washers (Fig. 2).

sure that the cartridge does not tilt to one side
when you attach it (see Fig. 3).

ATTACHING HEADSHELLS NOT MADE BY
PIONEER
You can attach headshells made by other com-
panies as long as the coupling portion has the same
dimensions as the headshell supplied with your
PL-518. However, you should check whether the
terminals on the other headshell are aligned in the
same way. When attaching, make sure that you do
not neglect to carry out the four steps described
above.
