Adjusting the stylus pressure

To enable the record stylus to follow the grooves of the record and pick up

sound (vibrations), it is necessary to apply a constant pressure (stylus

pressure) to the record from the stylus tip. A suitable stylus pressure value

is specified for each cartridge. If the stylus pressure is higher or lower than

the specified value, not only will the record playback sound be distorted

and the stylus jump, but the record stylus may wear out faster and the

record may become damaged. Therefore, make sure to adjust the stylus

pressure to the suitable value.

1

Set the anti-skating dial to “0”.

.

2

Lower the lifter lever.
