This tendency (force) is ca led "inside tracking force" or "skating force". The YP-700 has a built-in anti-skate mechanism in the tone arm which assures perfect record track and faithful reproduction of both stereo channels. The relation between stylus cartridge pressure and the position of the force canceller weight string is as follows: Stylus pressure Groove position 1 gr 1 1.5 gr 2 2.0 gr 3 2.5 gr 4 3.0 gr 5 With the Yamaha cartridge CG-7000, proper pressure is 2.0 gr, therefore adjust at groove position 3. Next, adjust the inside force hook as follows: (a) Unfasten the hook screw and set the hook to a position where the weight does not touch the panel when the tone arm is at rest. (b) Fine adjustments are required so that the weight does not touch the hook eye when the tone arm is positioned over the platter center spindle. (c) Return the tone arm to the arm rest and check to see if the weight now touches the panel. (d) If the weight does touch the panel, re-adjust according to steps (a) and (b). 54 3 3 ii Fig. 13 Fig. 14 1. The location of the YP-700 should be such that it is close to the floor, and on a strong, level table. If the unit is placed on an un-level surface it may cause the stylus to skip or drag on the record, producing an un-natural sound. If the supporting surface is not steady, it will cause the stylus to skip with each vibration. 2. When the YP-700 is placed close to an amplifier it may pick up induced hum from the amp. Increasing the distance between the two units will eliminate this type of induced noise. 3. When the unit is not in use and the power ON indicator light is illuminated, it signifies that the turntable motor is running. If this condition is allowed to continue it may cause the drive belt to break, jump off the motor pulley or disengage itself from the platter. If the belt becomes disengaged, un-plug the unit from the wall outlet, remove the platter and slip the belt over the pulley, lower the platter onto the spindle, threading the belt through the speed change guide as you do so. Do NOT allow the motor to run free without driving the platter. This may cause over-heating and damage to the motor.Turn off the unit when not being used. 4. If the turntable is placed on or next to a speaker it may cause howling through the speaker system due to feed back between the cartridge and the speaker. Speaker vibrations will also cause the stylus to skate or jump on the record surface, damaging the stylus and the record. 5. Do not change the speed selector when the unit is not ON. Shifting of the internal gear system when record speed is changed requires electrical power. If changes are attempted when the unit is off, it may stretch the drive belt, which will cause the turntable to produce abnormal sound. 6

Normal
stylus
tracking
has
a
tendency
to
pull
toward
the
center
when
a
record
is
playing.
This
tendency
(force)
is
ca
led
"inside
tracking
force"
or
"skating
force".
The
he
YP-700
has
a
built-in
anti
-skate
mechanism
in
the
tone
arm
which
assures
perfect
record
track
and
faithful
reproduction
of
both
stereo
channels.
The
relation
between
stylus
cartridge
pressure
and
the
position
of
the
force
canceller
weight
string
is
as
follows:

With
the
Yamaha
cartridge
CG
-7000,
proper
pressure
is
2.0

therefore
adjust
at
groove
position
3.
Next,
adjust
the
inside
force
hook
as
follows:
(a)
Unfasten
the
hook
screw
and
set
the
hook
to
a
position
where
the
weight
does
not
touch
the
panel
when
the
tone
arm
is
at
rest.
(b)
Fine
adjustments
are
required
so
that
the
weight
does
not
touch
the
hook
eye
when
the
tone
arm
is
positioned
over
the
platter
center
spindle.
(c)
Return
the
tone
arm
to
the
arm
rest
and
check
to
see
if
the
weight
now
touches
the
panel.
(d)
If
the
weight
does
touch
the
panel,
re
-adjust
according
to
steps
(a)
and
(b).

1.
The
location
of
the
YP-700
should
be
such
that
it
is
close
to
the
floor,
and
on
a
strong,
level
table.
If
the
unit
is
placed
on
an
un-level
surface
it
may
cause
the
stylus
to
skip
or
drag
on
the
record,
producing
an
un-natural
sound.
If
the
supporting
surface
is
not
steady,
it
will
cause
the
stylus
to
skip
with
each
vibration.
2.
When
the
YP-700
is
placed
close
to
an
amplifier
it
may
pick
up
induced
hum
from
the
amp.
Increasing
the
distance
between
the
two
units
will
eliminate
this
type
of
induced
noise.
3.
When
the
unit
is
not
in
use
and
the
power
ON
indicator
light
is
illuminated,
it
signifies
that
the
turntable
motor
is
running.
If
this
condition
is
allowed
to
continue
it
may
cause
the
drive
belt
to
break,
jump
off
the
motor
pulley
or
dis-
engage
itself
from
the
platter.
If
the
belt
becomes
disengaged,
un-plug
the
unit
from
the
wall
outlet,
remove
the
platter
and
slip
the
belt
over
the
pulley,
lower
the
platter
onto
the
spindle,
threading
the
belt
through
the
speed
change
guide
as
you
do
so.
Do
NOT
allow
the
motor
to
run
free
without
driving
the
platter.
This
may
cause
over
-heating
and
damage
to
the
motor.Turn
off
the
unit
when
not
being
used.
4.
If
the
turntable
is
placed
on
or
next
to
a
speaker
it
may
cause
howling
through the
speaker
system
due
to
feed
back
between
the
cartridge
and
the
speaker.
Speaker
vibrations
will
also
cause
the
stylus
to
skate
or
jump
on
the
record
surface,
damaging
the
stylus
and
the
record.
5.
Do
not
change
the
speed
selector
when
the
unit
is
not
ON.
Shifting
of
the
internal
gear
system
when
record
speed
is
changed
requires
electrical
power.
If
changes
are
attempted
when
the
unit
is
off,
it
may
stretch
the
drive
belt,
which
will
cause
the
turntable
to
produce
abnormal
sound.
