How to assemble
7. Adjustment of tone arm height
Adjust to make the record surface and the arm pipe in par-
allel by changing height of the tone.
Loosen the screw placed at the arm base with the tone arm
adjustment wrench and move the tone arm up and down,
and then tighten the screw when the tone arm is at an ap-
propriate position.

The tone arm is secured only with the screw placed at the
arm base.
When the screw is loosened, be sure to put the tone arm in
the arm rest and use your hand to support the entire tone
arm to prevent it from dropping.
8. Adjustment of arm lifter height
Raise the arm lifter and adjust the gap between the tip of
the stylus and a record from 5 to 10 mm by changing the
position of the lifter by loosening the tone arm height ad-
justment screw with the arm lifter adjustment wrench. After
the adjustment, lower the lifter and make sure that the tip of
the stylus contact the record and then tighten the tone arm
height adjustment screw.
Make sure that there is a gap between the lifter and the
arm pipe when the tip of the stylus contacts the record.
9. Adjustment of horizontal balance
Take the tone arm out of the arm rest in a state that the
anti-skating adjustment knob is aligned to “0” and leave it in
a free state. Rotate the counterweight to minutely adjust the
horizontal balance of the tone arm.
Be aware that the stylus tip of a cartridge is remarkably
delicate. Therefore, exercise extra care not to apply unrea-
sonable force to the stylus tip.
10. Adjustment of stylus pressure
Set the stylus pressure gauge to 0 while paying attention
not to move the counterweight with the tone arm horizon-
tally balanced.
Secondly, set the stylus pressure to a required value by ro-
tating the stylus pressure gauge in the arrow direction shown
in the drawing below. Refer to the operating instructions
for your cartridge regarding the optimal value. A cartridge
weighing 4 to 12 g is suitable for this unit. For a heavyweight
cartridge, use an optional heavy counterweight.
