ADJUSTMENT
1.
Adjustment of stylus force
Set to the optimum stylus force for your cartridge as follows.
If it is used with improper stylus force, mistracking or distort-
ed sound may result. Use the cartridge always at optimum
stylus force.
(1)
Turn the power switch ON (
).
(2)
Press either "33" or "45" speed selction but-ton. Make
sure the arm lifter is down and then turn OFF the power
switch.
(3)
Turn the anti-skating knob and set "0" to the reference
line as in Fig. 9.
(4)
Remove the stylus cover of the cartridge
(5)
See Fig.10and unlock the arm clamper. Hold the finger
hook of the head shell (Fig. 6) with your fingers and re-
move the tonearm form the arm rest.
(6)
Turn the counter weight to obtain horizontal balance as
shown in Fig.11, taking your fingers off momentarily to
check.
Note
: Carefully and only momentarily remove your fin-
gers to see the balance so that the stylus or tonearm
will not be damaged.
(7)
After the horizontal balance is obtained, return the
tonearm to the arm rest and clamp it by the arm clamp-
er. Put the stylus cover as well.
(8)
Then, being careful not to turn the counterweight, turn
only the stylus force scale to bring "0" reading to the
reference line. (This condition gives zero stylus force
since the horizontal balance of the tonearm has been
obtained.)
(9)
Lastly, turn the counterweight in the arrow direction and
bring the desired stylus force "2 (grams)", for example,
on the scale ring to the reference line on the tonearm.
(VVhen the counterweight is turned, so is the stylus
force scale ring. The number shows the stylus force in
grams when turned in the arrow direction alter "0" bal-
ance. One division corresponds to 0.1 g.) Use whatever
stylus force setting is recommended for your cartridge.
2.
Adjustment of anti-skating
Turn the anti-skating knob and set the reading of scale
to almost the same number as the stylus force. Read the
scale at the reference line. Set to "2" on the reference
line in the case of stylus force of 2 grams. (Fig. 12)
