3. Counter clockwise advancement of the COUNTER-
WEIGHT (8) will cause the cartridge side of the TONE
ARM (7) to be lowered; turning it clockwise will cause the
opposite. Turn the COUNTERWEIGHT (8) clockwise or
counter clockwise as needed until the TONE ARM (7) is
balanced horizontally. You can easily tell this by watch-
ing for the point where the TONE ARM (7) "floats" freely.
4. Place TONE ARM (7) on ARM REST (11) and lock it
in place with the ARM CLAMP (10).
5. With the TONE ARM (7) locked on the ARM REST
(11), hold the COUNTERWEIGHT (8) steady with one
hand while rotating the STYLUS PRESSURE RING (9)
until the numeral "0" on the ring aligns with the center
line on the TONE ARM (7) rear shaft. The horizontal
zero (0) balance should be completed.
6. Re-float the TONE ARM (7) to ensure horizontal zero
(0) balance. If zero balance has not been maintained,
repeat counterweight steps 3 - 5.
7. After adjusting the horizontal zero (0) balance, turn
the balanced COUNTERWEIGHT (8) counter clockwise
until the cartridge manufacturer's recommend stylus
pressure appears on the STYLUS PRESSURE RING (9)
where it meets the center line of the TONE ARM (7) rear
shaft.
ADJUSTING THE ANTI-SKATING CONTROL:
Set the ANTI-SKATING CONTROL (12) to the same
value as the stylus pressure.
NOTE: IF YOUR TURNTABLE CAME WITH A CN-25 CARTRIDGE,
IT HAS A RECOMMENED TRACKING FORCE OF 3.0 GRAMS AND
CAN have RANGE FROM 2.5-3.5 GRAMS.
CONNECTIONS:
1. Plug the AC power plug into an appropriate outlet.
2. See Table A for proper connection of the output RCA
plugs and ground connector. Make sure that all the plugs
are firmly plugged into the appropriate jacks (phono
inputs).
NOTE: To reduce hum, make sure the ground lug is
firmly connected to the ground screw.
