operated in a room at low temperature, or in places in
which the unit is subjected to vibrations.
@ Adjusting the anti-skating control (Fig. 8)
Set the anti-skating control to the same value as the stylus
pressure.
Note:
When a cartridge with integral dust brush is used, follow
the cartridge manufacturer's recommendation for adjust-
ing both stylus pressure and anti-skating control.
@ Attaching the dust cover (Fig. 9)
Hold
both
sides of the cover and
lower it into the hinge
slots. To remove the cover, open it and pull upward.
