5.5 Adjustment of the azimuth
(vertical position of the cartridge / stylus in the record groove)
Important: Please use extreme caution during this step.
Always lift the cartridge upwards during the adjustment.
Using the arm lift, lower the cartridge carefully onto the included alignment gauge.
Now check from the front and with the help of the Mini Level Gauge the alignment of the cartridge
and re-adjust it, if necessary.
The cartridge is in perfect alignment when it is vertical to the surface of the platter (see Pic. 17)
and the bubble of the Mini Level Gauge is centered (Pic. 18).
For this, remove both screws from the
TT5
VTA clamp with the enclosed hex wrench #3.
Place the two halves of the VTA clamp around the tonearm pillar, so that they sit on the tonearm
base or swing base and gently tighten the screws with the hex wrench #3.
Now you can loosen the screw of the clamping ring / tonearm base, or the screws of the swing base,
and continue to point 5.5.
