Adjustment
Adjusting the tone arm balance
Because the cartridge and headshell weights differ depending on the
product, the balance of the tone arm is adjusted.
Prepare as follows.
! Remove the stylus cover and arm clamper while paying attention not
to touch the stylus tip.
! Push down the lifter lever.
! Set the [ ANTI SKATING ] dial to “0”.
Keep the tone arm from the arm rest and adjust the
balance so it is horizontal.
Turn the balance weight until the tone arm becomes almost horizontal.
! When moving the tone arm, make sure that the stylus tip does not
directly touch the turntable and the like.
Adjusting the stylus pressure
To prevent stylus jumping or sound distortion, the stylus pressure is
adjusted to the appropriate stylus pressure value determined for each
cartridge.
The appropriate stylus pressure value for the included cartridge is from
3.0 g to 4.0 g.
Prepare as follows.
! Return the tone arm to the arm rest and secure with the arm clamp.
1 Match the “0” on the stylus pressure adjustment ring
to the center line of the arm rear shaft.
While using your finger to hold the balance weight to keep it from mov-
ing, turn only the stylus pressure adjustment ring so that the number “0”
comes to the black center line of the tone arm rear shaft.

2 Adjust the stylus pressure.

value for your cartridge.

stylus pressure to the appropriate value.
