I don't know about that particular turntable, but most of the ones I've =
worked on, the rubber record mat can be removed, and there is an opening =
in the table for installing the belt. Just take the platter off and put =
the belt around the hub, put platter back on and rotate it until the =
opening is by the motor shaft. Then take a small flat blade screwdriver =
and insert between the belt and platter hub and strech it over the motor =
shaft.

If the belt is stretched, you may need to get a new one from Yamaha.
I believe this is the model that no generic belt would fit. The
Needle Doctor would be a good source of cartridges. This is a pretty
decent table and there are a wide variety of cartridges that work well
with it. Chuck.

Yamaha no longer has belts for most of these older models. They sometimes
recommend an MCM replacement, which may or may not work right.
