Adjustments
@ Adjustment of arm-lift height
The arm-lift height (distance between the stylus tip and record surface
when cueing knob is at the '"'¥"" position) has been adjusted at the
factory before shipment to approximately 5 to 10 mm.
(See Fig. 24.)
For using different cartridges available on the market or when further
adjustments are particularly necessary, make adjustment as follows:
1. Set the speed select knob to the "e" position to prevent rotation
of the turntable platter.
2. Move the tonearm toward the center spindle.
Attach the stylus protector, if available, to guard the stylus tip from
damage.
—rotate counterclockwise.
@ Fine speed adjustment
make a fine speed adjustment of +3.3% or -3.3%. (See Fig. 27.)
1. Set the speed control switch to the position ''adj.'"'.
2. While turning the pitch control knob to the ''+' side (or the '"—"' side),
adjust to the degree at which the strobe dots on the upper stage (or
lower stage) look as if they were stationary to obtain a pitch of +3.3%
(or —3.3%).
3. Upon setting the speed contro! switch to the position ''quartz'',
regular revolutions are available.
