3.4 TRACKING ARM
The VRX-2000 tracking arm is another sensitive component, and is and very accurately made. Please do not
put pressure on the tracking arm, as it may cause inaccuracies and problems in recording.
If the arm is bent by strong force it will cause the VRX2000 to disfunction totally.
Please also note that the moving parts of the tracking arm require maintenance from time to time.
It is recommended to put some silicone oil on the tracking bar and the other moving parts
every one or two month, depending on the time of usage.
3.5 STYLUS & HEATER LIFE
•
The life of the cutting stylus is approximately between 200-300 minutes (depending on the cutting pressure
used and the level of stylus heat). Overusing the stylus reduces the quality of recording. You may initially
notice a reduction in the volume of one side (L/R) of the recording as the cutting stylus wears out. Please
replace the stylus regularly.
•
Although the stylus consists of a very hard material, it might be damaged or broken if it is touched or
dropped, mishandled. This will make recording impossible. Please replace the stylus if any of these
instances occur.
•
The heater line (wire) is very thin and fragile, therefore please handle very carefully. If the heater line is cut,
please replace the whole stylus immediately.
•
If too much current is applied to the heater line, the line may burn and break down. Please be very careful
with adjustments of heater current.
•
On assembly of the stylus on the cutting head, please be careful that the heater line does not touch the
vinyl or surrounding parts of the cutting head.
3.6 BLANK VINYL
•
The Vinyl's should be stored in the same room and temperature where the VRX is and where you are
recording.
•
Please make sure that the vinyl is perfectly flat when placed on the VRX-2000 for the vinyl cutting
procedure. Vinyl that is not perfectly flat will prevent perfect quality recording.
•
If a bent or warped vinyl is used, the depth or width of the groove will be inconsistent. It will cause a
distortion or needle skipping on playback.
•
On recording, please make sure the surface of the vinyl is clean. Please do not use thinner or methylated
spirits for cleaning.
•
Before recording, please remove the protective sheets on the side of the blank vinyl you intend to record.
•
The special vinyl for the VRX-2000 has a similar durability of commercial vinyl, but a record cut in improper
circumstances/condition may have less durability than usual
