Adjusting the Tonearm

Level Balance Adjustment
1. Set the ANTI-SKATE knob to "0".
2. Release the arm clamp and move the tonearm
to the space between the arm rest and the platter,
taking care not to damage the stylus.
3. Set the CUEING lever to the down position.
4. Support the headshell's finger-lift with one
hand and attain the level balance by turning the
counterweight either clockwise or counter-clock
wise.
"Level balance" means that the tonearm is parallel to
the record on the platter, and that the tonearm pipe,
therefore, should not tilt toward the counterweight
side or the headshell side.
5. Return the tonearm to the arm rest and fasten the
arm clamp.
6. Since the tracking force is zero when the tonearm
is balanced level, turn just the tracking-foce scale
ring in front of the counter-weight, and set the "0" on
the scale to the index line on the shaft.
When doing so, be sure to hold the counterweight
with the other hand so that it does not turn together
with the scale ring.
Tracking Force Adjustment
Turning the counterweight, set the correct tracking
force opposite the index line on the counterweight
shaft. The tracking-force scale ring has 0.25g steps
and one full turn of the counterweight will yield a
tracking force of 3g.
NOTE:
The MG-2831 cartridge that comes with the set has a
tracking force of 2g. Turn the counterweight to the 2
mark.
Anti-Skating Adjustment
To adjust the Anti-skating mechanism, turn the
Anti-Skate Knob so that the number corresponding to
the required tracking force is opposite the index line.
The numbers on the Anti-Skate Knob correspond to
1g of tracking force.
