As viewed from the head shell, turning the move-
ment screw counterclockwise (closer towards the
tonearm) increases the VTF, turning it clockwise
(away from the tonearm) reduces the VTF. Turn the
counterweight appropriately until the VTF shown on
the pressure gauge matches your cartridge’s recom-
mended vertical tracking force specifications.
When the VTF is set for a required value, lock the
counter weight by its locking screw. Please make
sure to lock the additional weight if used.
1.5.10 Vertical Tracking Angle setting (VTA)
To set the
Vertical Tracking Angle (VTA)
, first put a
record (VTF) on the platter. When the needle is low-
ered into the record groove, the tube of the tonearm
should be parallel to the surface of the record. If it
is not, loosen both hexagonal screws in the tonearm
base, just enough to allow vertical movement of the
arm pillar without force, and slide the arm up or
down until it is parallel.
Carefully and evenly re-tighten the hexagon screws
without applying excessive force (which may deform
the arm pillar).
