Carefully detach the stylus guard from pickup and put (an
old) record onto the platter. After that lower the tonearm
by the lift lever. The tonearm tube should then be parallel
to the record (to be viewed from the side). If this is not the
case the so-called
Vertical Tracking Angle (VTA) needs to
be adjusted by the tonearm height. However the special
clamp mechanism
(Fig. 4) provided allows to individually
adjust VTA according to the size of the mounted pickup.
This adjustment is made by loosening the screw of the
clamp mechanism and carefully sliding the tonearm slight-
ly up or down. If necessary repeat this procedure until the
tonearm tube is fully parallel to the record. After the posi-
tion for a correct VTA has been found, do not forget to
tighten the clamp screw again.
Adjustment of tracking force: see page 33/34 .

Adjusting Tonearm Height
The counterweight is attached to the rear end of the to-
nearm by some slight pressure and a clockwise rotation
towards the tonearm’s bearings
(Fig. 4) .
ATTENTION: great care is necessary for the fol-
lowing mounting and adjustment procedures, be-
cause the slightest mistake may damage stylus
and cantilever.
