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
