ADJUSTING
THE
TONEARM
RELEASING THE AUTO MECHANISM
Before adjusting
the
tonearm,
release
the auto
mechanism
as
follows:
1.
Plug
the
power
cord
into
an AC
outlet.
2.
SCt
thc
RECORD
SIZE
SELECTOR tO
MANUAL.
3.
Push
the START
button.
4. About 10
seconds
after
the
platter
has
started
to
ro-
tate,
the arm
elevator
will
descend. Then,
disconnect
the
power cord
from the
AC
outlet. Do
NOT
press
the
CUT
button.
This operation
release
the auto
mechanism
and
the tonearm
can
now
be
operated
as
you
wish.
TRACKING FORCE ADJUSTMENT
1.
Set
the
ANTI-SKATE
knob
to
"0".
2.
Remove
the
cartridge stylus
cover.
3.
Set
the
ARM-ELEVATION
lever
position.
4.
Release
the
arm clamp
and
move
space
between
the
arm rest and
the
not
to
damage
the
stylus.
5. Support
the
headshell's
finger
lift
with
one
hand
and
attain
the
horizontal
balance
by turning the
counter-
weight
either
clockwise
or
counterclockwise. "Hori-
zontal
balance"
means
that the tonearm
is
parallel
to
the
record
on the
platter, and
that the
tonearm
pipe,
therefore, should
not
tilt
toward
the counterweight
side
or the
headshell side
(See
figure).
@
NOTE:
When the
ANTI-SKATE
knob
is
at
the
"0"
position,
the tonearm
may
move
a
little
to
the
left
or right.
This
is
due
to
the enhanced
sensitivity
of
the rotating section
of
the
tonearm
designed
so
that
the tonearm
traces the
sound grooves
on
the record more
efficient-
ly
during
record
play.
This
does
not,
therefore,
interfere with play
at all.
6.
Return
the tonearm
to the
arm
rest
and
fasten
the
arm
clamp.
7.
Attach the
stylus cover
to
protect the
stylus.
8.
Since
the
tracking
force is zero when the tonearm
is
balanced
horizontally, turn just
the tracking-force
scale
ring
in front of
the
counterweight, and
set
the
"0"
on
the
scale
to
the index line on the
counterweight
shaft
(Fig.
A).
9. Turn
the counterweight
until the index line
is
correctly
aligned
with
the
scale
which
corresponds
to
the specified
tracking force of the
cartridge
to
be used
(Fig.
B).
The tracking-force
scale
ring
has
0.59
steps,
and one
full
turn of
the
counterweight
will
yield
a
tracking
force
of
3g.

sound
is
distorted
(records where
patt
of
the recording level
is
set

an
extremely high level), adjust
the

force
to
the optimum
value across the
su
itable
range.
ANTI.SKATI NG ADJUSTM ENT

the
required

numbers
on the ANTI-SKATE knob
correspond
to
the
same
number
of
the
tracking
force.
