Setting
the stylus
pressure
Each
cartridge
has
an
optimum
stylus
pressure. See
instructions supplied
with
your
cartridge.
Fig. 16
Too low a
stylus
pressure
will
cause
distortion
in
loud
passges.
lf,
however,
the
stylus force
is
too
high,
the
stylus
and
record may
both
be damaged.
Once the
tonearm
is
balanced,
the
stylus
pressure
is
set
to
the
recommended value
for
the
cartridge
by turning
the
stylus
force
scale
@.The stylus
preSsure
can
be
set
to
any
value
from
0
to
5
grams.
The
unit is
designed
to
operate
with
stylus
pressures

Anti-skating
To
compensate
for
skating
force,
a
coun-
terforce, precisely defined
in
height
and
direction, must
be applied
to
the
tone-
arm.
The anti-skating
mechanism
of
the
unit fulfills this
requirement.
The
ad-
justment knob
@
on
the
chassis
allows
the
change
of
the
skating compensation
sren
while
a record
is
being played,
for
example,
when playing
a
moistened
record
after
a
dry
record.

The
setting
of
anti-skating compensation
corresponds
to
the
setting
of
stylus
pressu
re
:
Set the anti-skating knob
to
the
number
on the
appropriate scale
which
corres-
ponds
to
the stylus
pressure
you
have
set.
That
is,
for

set
the

also
at

When playing
records moistened
with
a
cleaning agent, the skating
force
is
redu-
ced
byapproximately
10%.
ln
such
cases
we
recommend
a
corresponding
10 %
dec-
rease
in anti-skating compensation.
Cue
Control
Your
unit is
equipped
with a
shock-
free
cue
control
silicone damped
in both
directions.
Thus,
the
tonearm
can
be
lowered
to
any desired
point
on
the
rec-
ord
more
gently than
be hand.
The
rate
of
descent
of
the tonearm
is
unaffected
by
temperature
changes.
When lifted,
the tonearm
does
not
appreciably
chan-
ge
its horizontal position.
The
lever
of
the
cue
control
has
two
positions:
t
playing position,
I
selecting
position, tonearm
raised
A
light
touch on the
lever
starts
the
des-
cent
of
the
tonearm.
The
height
of
the
stylus
tip
over
the
record
in
the
raised
tonearm
position
f
can
be
varied from
0
to 6
mm
by
turning
the
adjustment
screw

Pitch
control
Each
of
the
two
standard
speeds
(33-1/3
and
45
rpm) can
be
varied about
6
%
(about
a
semitone)
with
the pitch
con-
trol
O.
This
permits adjusting
the
pitch
and
tempo
of
recorded
music.

The
speed
can
be
checked
with
the
stro-
boscopic
disc
on the
turntable
platter.
When
the
disc is illuminated by
a light
powered
from alternating
household cur-
rent,
the
ring
of
lines
corresponding to
the
choosen
speed
will
appear
to
stand
still
when
the
turntable
is
rotating at
the
correct
speed.
Pitch
is
varied
by
using
the pitch
control
knob
O.
Calibration of Pitch Control
ln
setting
up your
player
for
the first
time
or
after
it
has
been
shipped,
the
pitch
control
should
be
adjusted.
Pitch

with the
