ASSEMBLING AND ADJUSTING
d) Lower the lifter lever, and rotate the counter weight to
balance the tone arm so that it is parallel with the
turntable.
e) After finding the balance, raise the lifter lever and attach
the anti-skating adjustment screw.
7. Stylus pressure adjustment
Adjust to the recommended stylus pressure of the
cartridge being used.
When the tone arm is balanced, rotate the counter
weight in the direction of the arrow using the counter
weight “0” point display as a reference point.
Rotating the counter weight by 1 scale graduation adds
0.1g of pressure. Therefore, as the counter weight has
5 graduations, one complete turn will add 0.5g of
pressure.
As the recommended stylus pressure for the included
cartridge is 2.2g, rotate the counter weight 4 complete
turns and 2 scale graduations from the reference point
at balance adjustment to reach the correct stylus
pressure position.
When using a different stylus, check the recommended
stylus pressure and adjust to the correct stylus
pressure.
8. Anti-skating adjustment
Adjust the anti-skating adjustment screw in line with the
stylus pressure of the cartridge being used.
For the included cartridge, adjust so that the screw
position is approximately half way out.
