ADJUSTING THE TONE ARM
Level Balance Adjustment
1. Set the "ANTI-SKATING" knob to"0".
2. Release the arm clamp and move the tonearm to the space
between the arm rest and the platter, taking care not to
damage the stylus.
3. Set the "CUE LEVER" to the down position.
4. Support the headshell's finger-lift with one hand and attain
the level balance by turning the counterweight either
clockwise or counter-clock wise. "Level balance" means that
the tonearm is parallel to the record on the platter and that
the tonearm pipe. Therefor should not tilt toward the
counterweight side or the headshell side.
5. Return the tonearm to the arm rest and fasten the arm
clamp. Since the tracking force is zero when the tonearm is balanced level, turn just the
tracking force scale ring in front of the counter-weight and set the "0" on the scale to the
index line on the shaft. Be careful not to turn the counterweight otherwise the tonearm will
become unbalanced e
Tracking Force Adjustment
Turning the counterweight, set the correct tracking force opposite
the index line on the counterweight shaft. The tracking force
scale ring has 0.5g steps and one full turn of the counterweight
will yield a tracking force of 2,0g. You will need at least 3g.
So turn the counterweight 1,5 times and stop by position 1.
Anti-Skating Adjustment
To adjust the Anti-skating mechanism, turn the "ANTI-SKATING"
Knob so that the number corresponding to the required tracking
force is opposite the index line. As a rule, the setting of the anti-
skating function should correspond to that of the support weight
of the needle (3 grams).
