Balancing the Tonearm
During this procedure it is very important that the stylus of the cartridge does not hit any
part. Otherwise it can be easily damaged or broken!
Please follow this procedure for balancing the tonearm step by step:
Step 1:
Set tracking force scale to “0”.
Step 2:
Set antiskating scale to “0”.
Step 3:
Move lift lever to “lift down” position.
Step 4:
Move the tonearm carefully from the tonearm rest to a
position between tonearm rest and platter.
Attention:
To avoid any damage of the pickup stylus, use one
hand, to hold the headshell in position.
Step 5:
The counterweight can be rotated on its axle.
Depending on the turning direction, it moves forward
or backward (refer upper and middle schematic on the
left). So you can find the position, where the tonearm
is freely levitating in the horizontal position (like in the
lower schematic on the left).
Attention:
Whenever you turn at the counterweight, use one
hand, to hold the headshell in position. So, you avoid
uncontrolled movement. Then release the headshell
carefully, to check the balancing.
Once the tonearm is correctly balanced, move it back to tonearm rest.
