♦ Move the lever to the rear position to lower the pick-up arm.
♦ Align the tone arm by turning the counterweight in such a way that it is
in equilibrium (see fi gure) .
♦ Swing the tone arm back into its original position.
♦ Hold the counterweight fi rmly and then turn the adjusting ring so that the
"0" marking is at the top.
♦ Rotate the counterweight to the left, to the position "2.5". This corresponds
to a tracking pressure of 2.5 grams.
NOTE
Should the tone arm jump, slide, or does not move forward, the tracking pres-
sure and anti-skating force are not set correctly.
► Raise or lower the tracking pressure by turning the counterweight on the tone
arm to the left or right.
Setting the anti-skating force
Due to the friction of the rotating disc with the needle, the tone arm is pulled
inwards and the needle presses more heavily on the inner groove fl ank of the
disc. The anti-skating setting balances this out. The anti-skating force should be
set to the same value as the tracking pressure.
♦ Turn the anti-skating knob to the position "2.5".
Electrical connection
■ Before connecting the device compare the connection data (voltage and
frequency) with that on the rating plate of your electric supply.
This data must agree in order to avoid damaging the device.
■ Make sure that the power cable is not damaged and is not laying over
hot surfaces and/or sharp edges.
■ Ensure that the power cable is not over taut or kinked.
■ Do not allow the cable to dangle over edges (trip wire eff ect).
■ The mains power socket must be easily accessible so that the power cable
can be easily disconnected in an emergency.
