TONE ARM SETTINGS
The following explains proper counterweight and anti-skating set up. Cartridge manufacturers
usually specify the proper settings.
a)
Remove the stylus protector, do not touch the stylus tip during the adjustment.
b)
Set the cueing lever to the lower position so it does not effect tone arm height.
c)
Set Anti-skate adjustment to 0.
d)
Place counterweight on the rear of the tone arm
e)
Release the arm clamp and lift the tonearm from the arm rest so it moves freely.
f)
Rotate the counterweight until the tonearm is approximately balanced horizontally (floats
freely).
g)
Refasten the tonearm with the arm clamp.
h)
Hold the counterweight stationary with one hand and
rotate only the stylus-pressure ring to bring the number
"O" of the ring into alignment with the center line on the
tonearm rear shaft.
i)
Rotate the counterweight with scale ring clockwise to the
correct stylus pressure following the manufacturer's
recommendation.
Note: Failure to follow recommended stylus pressure
could damage both the stylus and record. This can also
seriously degrade performance.
j)
Set the anti-skating control knob to the same value as
the stylus pressure, unless your manufacturer specifies
otherwise.
