uppermost. With the power of and platter static, place the stylus pressure gauge onto the platter. To set the

that all time all the cartridges movements must be done in upper tonearm lift position. Repeat the measuring
procedure until you get the correct VTF.

Adjusting the vertical tracking angle (VTA)
Put a record on the platter. When the needle is lowered into the record groove and the tonearm is not resting
on the tonearm rest, the tube of the tonearm should be parallel to the surface of the record. If it is not,
loosen both VTA adjustment screws in the tonearm base just enough to allow vertical movement of the arm
pillar without force and slide the arm up or down until it is parallel. Carefully retighten VTA adjustment
screws without applying excessive force which would deform the arm pillar.
