Tonearm And Pick-Up Cartridge - THORENS TD 203 Mode D'emploi

Tonearm and Pick-Up Cartridge

Your Thorens turntable is delivered with a pre-installed
TP 82 tonearm and an TAS 257 (MM) pick-up cartridge.
➔ Fig. 7
The tonearm counterweights are removed for ship-
ping. Screw the large counterweight onto the rear sec-
tion of the tonearm, then the smaller, eccentric weight.
The smaller weight should always sit as close as pos-
sible to the large weight without touching it. Adjust the
tracking force and the azimuth.
The bias weight is also removed for shipping and
needs to be fitted to the tonearm.

The TP 82 tonearm can accommodate most pick-up
cartridges with a distance of 12.7 mm (½ ") between the
mounting holes. To connect the pick-up cartridge, push
the four colour-coded cartridge tags onto the cartridge
pins.
If the cartridge pins are not colour-coded, connect them
as follows:
R right channel (signal) ➔ red
G right channel (earth) ➔ green
L left channel (signal) ➔ white
G left channel (earth) ➔ blue
