easily tell this by watching for the point where the TONE ARM
(7) "floats" freely.
4. Place TONE ARM (7) on ARM REST (11) and lock it in place
with the ARM CLAMP (10).
5. With the TONE ARM (7) locked on the ARM REST (11), hold
the COUNTERWEIGHT (8) steady with one hand while rotating
the STYLUS PRESSURE RING (9) until the numeral "0" on the
ring aligns with the center line on the TONE ARM (7) rear shaft.
The HORIZONTAL ZERO (0) balance should be completed.
6. Re-float the TONE ARM (7) to ensure horizontal zero (0) bal-
ance. If zero balance has not been maintained, repeat counter-
weight steps 3 - 5.
7. After adjusting the HORIZONTAL ZERO (0) balance, turn the
balanced COUNTERWEIGHT (8) counter clockwise until the
cartridge manufacturer's recommend stylus pressure appears
on the STYLUS PRESSURE RING (9) where it meets the cen-
ter line of the TONE ARM (7) rear shaft.
ADJUSTING THE ANTI-SKATING CONTROL:
Set the ANTI-SKATING CONTROL (12) to the same value as
the stylus pressure.
NOTE: IF YOUR TURNTABLE CAME WITH A CN-1000 CARTRIDGE, IT HAS A
RECOMMENDED TRACKING FORCE OF 3.0 GRAMS AND CAN HAVE RANGE
FROM 2.5-3.5 GRAMS.
ADJUSTING TONE ARM HEIGHT:
The TT-03 comes with an adjustable TONE ARM BASE (7).
This feature is generally used when a larger or smaller sized
headshell is used for record playing. You may adjust the height
of the TONE ARM (7) by unlocking the base with the use of the
LOCK SWITCH (20) located next to the ANTI SKATE CON-
TROL (12). Then adjust the TONE ARM ADJUSTMENT
LEVER (8), located below the counter weight, to adjust the
height of the TONE ARM (7) by 6 mm.
CONNECTIONS:
1. Plug the AC power plug into an appropriate outlet.
2. See TABLE A for proper connection of the output RCA plugs
and ground connector. Make sure that all the plugs are firmly
plugged into the appropriate jacks (phono inputs).
NOTE: TO REDUCE HUM, MAKE SURE THE GROUND LUG IS FIRMLY CON-
NECTED TO THE GROUND SCREW.
