Turntable belt/pulley help- kind of urgent

So, I got a Denon DP 300F a few weeks ago. until today I didn't have a cartridge installed, so I didn't play it. After lots of hassle, I bought and installed a Shure M97XE cartridge, aligned it, etc. Then I tried to play a record but the platter would not spin. I googled the manual, and apparently there was something wrong with the belt. So I took the belt out, rearranged it around the pulleys about a dozen different ways, and still nothing. Can someone please explain to me how to position the belt so I can get my platter working??
There's a link to the manual here: http://a248.e.akamai.net/pix.crutchfield.com/Manuals/033/033DP300F.PDF

please help! any help at all would be greatly appreciated. :) (also, I'm a noob so if I've done anything stupid but taking the belt out, etc, cut me some slack).

Hello Toxicwaterfront, The NAD integrated has no phono stage so the input signal is to low. You will need to add a separate Phono stage or a preamp with a built in phono stage.

I would encourage you to get local help from a dealer or another audiophile as playing LP's requires a basic level of competence. I think anyone can learn this information but, at least for me, it is easier to learn by seeing.

Good Luck !
