MUST READ!!!
***The Counter Weight on the tone arm MUST be properly set-up before first use!
Setting the Counter Weight
1. Identify the silver counter weight at the back of the tone arm.
2. With your hand, lift the tone arm up and move the tone arm away from the tone arm rest but not over
the black record platter (see photo A). Be careful that the needle does not hit anything. Rotate the
silver counter weight (clockwise OR counter-clockwise) until the tone arm floats naturally.
Note: the black number ring will also rotate as you turn the silver counter weight.
3. With the tone arm floating and the stylus protector removed, the goal is to create a state of equilibrium
in the arm by rotating the counter weight so that the tone arm is perfectly balanced with the counter
weight (see photos B and C).
4. Now that the tone arm is resting in a level / balanced position, you must set the proper weight for the
needle on this tone arm. Identify the black number ring attached to the counter weight.
5. Carefully rotate only the black number ring so that "0" is at the 12 o'clock position. Be sure to hold the
silver rear portion of the counterweight to prohibit its movement. DO NOT let the silver counter weight
turn, the black number dial will turn separately.
