Balancing the tonearm (with cartridge installed)
Preparation
1. Connect turntable to AC outlet, or to jack (unswitched) on
rear of your amplifier or receiver.
2. Press POWER switch (22) to turn turntable on.
5. Switch the turntable off by pressing the POWER switch (22)
again.
Balancing procedures
1. Set tracking force dial (4) to 0 and pointer of anti-skating
dial (7) to left (off position).
The tonearm is correctly balanced when it floats horizontally
after being gently pushed up or down.
Tracking Force Adjustment

force' — must be applied on the stylus. If you purchased your
turntable with a factory-mounted Dual cartridge, you'll find
the correct tracking force in the spec sheet supplied with the
unit.
After adjusting the tonearm balance as described above, set the
tracking force by adjusting the dial ring of the counterweight (4).
The tracking force can be continuously set within the range
from 0 to 20 mN (0 - 2 g), whereby the digits on the scale
represent the following.
1 = 10mN 4 1g
2 20mN A 2g
A graduation mark in the range from 2- 15 mN (0.2 -1.5 g) is
equivalent to this 1 mN (0.1 g).
The unit works reliably from a tracking force of 2.5 mN
(0.25 g) onwards.
Anti-skating
The skating force acting upon any tonearm leads to one-sided
wear of the stylus and record and can cause distorted repro-
duction.
For stylus types generally available nowadays, separate setting
scales are available in accordance with the printed symbols:
O Setting for spherical styli.
© Setting for biradial (elliptical) styli.
Adjustment of the anti-skating device should be carried out
to match the setting of the stylus pressure:
