The turntable employs a Floating Suspension mechanism to which the PLATTER and the TONEARM are mounted. The level of the floating suspension is set by three LEVEL ADJUSTING SCREWS. This level is factory-set and you are not required to adjust it. When you set up the turntable, adjust the level of the turntable itself with the FEET as indicated. If floating suspension level must be readjusted, adjust it with the DISC STABILIZER and the PLATTER MAT placed on the PLATTER: turn the LEVEL ADJUSTING SCREWS so that the distance between the turntable surface and the bottom of the PLATTER is 4 mm (5/32 inch). When you turn the counter- 1.5 weignt, the tracking force scale ring will turn with it. Set the tracking force by lining up the scale with the indication mark. Set the anti-skating control to the same setting as the tracking force. Set the anti-skating control with the indication mark. 5
