Adjustment

Adjusting the tone arm balance

! Because the cartridge and headshell weights differ depending on the
product, the balance of the tone arm is adjusted.
Prepare as follows.
! Remove the stylus cover and arm clamper while paying attention not
to touch the stylus tip.
! Push down the lifter lever.
! Set the [ANTI SKATING] dial to "0".
Keep the tone arm from the arm rest and adjust the
balance so it is horizontal.
Turn the balance weight until the tone arm becomes almost horizontal.
! When moving the tone arm, make sure that the stylus tip does
not directly touch the turntable and the like.

Adjusting the stylus pressure

! To prevent stylus jumping or sound distortion, the stylus pressure
is adjusted to the appropriate stylus pressure value determined for
each cartridge.
Prepare as follows.
! Return the tone arm to the arm rest and secure with the arm clamp.
1 Match the "0" on the stylus pressure adjustment ring
to the center line of the arm rear shaft.
While using your finger to hold the balance weight to keep it from mov-
ing, turn only the stylus pressure adjustment ring so that the number "0"
comes to the black center line of the tone arm rear shaft.
2 Adjust the stylus pressure.
Turn the balance weight to adjust to the appropriate stylus pressure
value for your cartridge.
Using the balance weight attachment scale

your shell with cartridge because you can set the appropriate stylus
pressure by simply setting to the set balance weight scale position with-
out adjusting the tone arm horizontal balance.

2 Using the value set for the balance weight, adjust the
balance weight attachment scale position.
