ADJUSTING THE TONEARM ADJUSTING THE LEVEL Adjusting the Tracking Force and the Anti-skating Force 1. Set the ANTI-SKATING control to "off" position, and move the TONEARM away from the ARMREST. 2. Adjust the COUNTERWEIGHT until the TONEARM is horizontal. Be sure to remove the stylus guard when adjusting the COUNTERWEIGHT. •Rear of Tonearm too Heavy With the DUST COVER closed, adjust the level of the turntable by turning the four FEET clockwise or counterclockwise. Turn the counterweight in the direction of the arrow, moving it forward. • Front of Tonearm too Heavy Turn the counterweight in the direction shown, moving it toward the rear. • In Balance Caution: While you are adjusting the zero balance, hold the TON EARM gently to prevent the stylus from coming into contact with anything. 3. Turn the stylus TRACKING FORCE SCALE RING until the "0" mark is opposite the indication mark. Be careful not to disturb the zero balance of the COUNTERWEIGHT when making this adjustment. 4. Now set the recommended cartridge stylus tracking force by turning the COUNTERWEIGHT to the required figure on the scale ring. 5. Finally, set the ANTI-SKATING control so that it indicates the same setting as selected for the tracking force. 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
