CONTROLS AND FUNCTIONS

19. Stylus Headshell -

The included headshell is used to connect your stylus

with the tone arm.

20. Headshell Locking Nut -

After attaching the headshell to the tonearm, this

locking nut will securely hold the headshell to the

tonearm.

21. S-Shaped Tone Arm -

The tonearm is the mechanism that holds the head-

shell and stylus allowing it to glide across a record.


22. Tonearm Lift Adjust Screw -

This screw is used to adjust the clearance between

the stylus and a record. The stylus clearance is set

at the factory to be between 8~13mm. Adjustments to

the tonearm clearance should only be made if

necessary.

23. Tonearm Assembly Height Control -

This adjustment is used to control the overall height

of the tonearm assembly. The tonearm should always

be perfectly parallel to the platter.

24. Tonearm Clamp and Rest -

Use this rest to safely hold the tonearm in position

during non use and transportation.

25. Tonearm Lever -

This lever is used to safely elevates the tone arm

above a record surface without endangering a

records surface.

26. Anti-Skate Control -

The anti-skate applies inward force to the tonearm to

prevent outward skipping across the record due to the

centrifugal force cause by platter rotation. The anti-

skate value should be equally to that of the stylus

counterweight pressure (see counterweight 27).

27. Counterweight -

The counterweight adjustment applies the proper

downward pressure on the stylus.
