STEP 4/
Installing the Turntable
Take note of the following points and install the turntable properly.
Find a location which:
@!s horizontal and flat.
@/s characterized by minimal floor vibration or is not
affected by any vibrations transmitted.
@ls not affected by high sound pressures or vibrations
from the speaker system.
:
(Do not install the turntable immediately in front of,
or on top of, the speakers.)
@Allows
easy operation and gives visible access to the
record and styius.
After having carried out steps [1] through [4], read through the following checkpoints.
Check the tracking force and anti-skating adjustments.
|
@The
ANTI-SKATE
control
must
be aligned with the
same number as the tracking force.
The following troublé
is apparent when
the number does
not tally with the tracking force:
Too high:
The sound is distorted and the tonearm slides
toward the outside of the record.
Too
low:
The tonearm slides toward the inside of the re-
cord when the stylus descends onto the record.
©The tracking force must be adjusted within the correct
tracking force range of the cartridge.
The following trouble is apparent when the tracking force
is not properly adjusted:
Excessive tracking force:
The sound is distorted and the cartridge itself touches
the record.
Insufficient tracking force:
The sound is distorted and interrupted.
®The
tracking
force
must
be adjusted
with the ANTI-
SKATE control at [0].
Unless
this control
is set to the [0] position, a force is
generated
by the anti-skating mechanism
which
pulls the
tonearm
to the
right (toward
the arm
rest). Therefore,
when
attaining the horizontal
balance, the tonearm is not
at rest and so the operation is difficult to perform.
Even at the [0] position there may be some movement.
This
is due
to the increased
rotational sensitivity of the
tonearm
enabling the stylus to trace efficiently the sound
grooves on the record, and it does not indicate that there
is anything wrong with the turntable.
S
@\s near to the stereo amplifier.
(Inscall the turntable within a range where the con-
necting cords reach the terminals on the amplifier.)
@is not directly exposed to direct sunlight or heat from
heating appliances.
(Do not install the turntable
near a heater or on a
window ledge exposed to the sun.)
@\s not exposed to dust and dirt.
@ls free from damp and moist air.
Check the installation and connections of the turntable
© Connection must be made to the amplifier's PHONO
MM terminals.
@ When using a cartridge other than that supplied.
Consult
the
Operating
Instructions
of the cartridge
and
stereo amplifier and proceed.
@Incorrect connections of installation will lead to trouble
If the equipment
is connected
improperly,
no sound will
be heard. If the output cord plugs are not inserted as far as
they will go or if the ground wire is not connected, humm-
ing noise will be heard through the speakers.
If the turntable
is installed at an angle, the tonearm
will
slide
on the record
and
the sound
will be distorted.
If
vibrations are transmitted to the turntable, the sound may
be
discontinuous
or
it may
tremble,
and
in some
cases
howl
(a prolonged wailing sound from the speakers) may
be heard.
®@The connecting cords should be given some slack
Check
that none
of the connecting cords are pulled taut
after they have been connected. Tautness may lead to cord
disconnections and howl.
