ADJUSTMENT OF THE TONE ARM HEIGHT
Replacing a pick-up may require a correction
of the arm height. As a rule of thumb, when
playing a record from the side, the arm should
be parallel to the surface of the record. If this
is not the case, because the new cartridge is
either higher or lower, the arm height must be
adjusted accordingly.
A normal Phillips screwdriver (Ph2) and the metal pin supplied are needed for this. For checking purposes, a
triangle or a transparent template with parallel lines printed on it are suitable.
First, carefully loosen the screw (1) a little. Then use the pin (2) to turn the ring in the necessary direction until
the tone arm has reached the desired height. Then tighten the screw (1) again.
In some cases, the lift may also need to be adjusted afterwards because the arm sits on the lift bench even
when it is lowered or cannot be raised far enough. After loosening the screw (3), the lift height can be adjust-
ed.
