THORENS TD 2030 - Manual (Page 32)

Adjusting the tonearm lift: It has already been adjusted
in the factory and can be considered suitable for nearly all
pickup cartridges in the market. However in the unlikely
case that the tonearm lift needs to be re-adjusted to fit a
special cartridge please contact your Thorens dealer.
Anti-skating force (bias): This is adjusted by shifting the
button on the tonearm’s lift bench (2). It is recommended
to set the anti-skating force slight below the value of the
tracking force.
Adjustment of tracking force: Make sure to inquire the
recommended tracking force for your pickup cartridge
from either the cartridge manufacturer or by consulting the
mounting instructions supplied with the cartridge. Track-
ing force is usually adjusted between 10 and 25 mN (cor-
responding to 1.0 and 2.5 grams).
Hint: Do not set too low a tracking force, because this may
prevent the pickup cartridge from tracking properly.
Tracking force is applied by a spring inside the bearing
assembly. After the tonearm has been correctly balanced
(see page 29) you can adjust the tracking force by turning
the dial knob (4) at the bearing assembly.
Set tracking force dial to “0” before balancing the
tonearm and make sure the tonearm is kept in
its armrest before proceeding with these adjust-
ments.
