Horizontally when making the vertical height adjust-
ment.

Notes: 1. To reduce the chance of acoustic feedback lo-
cate the turntable the greatest possible distance

2. To minimize the possibility of the cartridge sty-
lus jumping record grooves, place the turntable
on a mechanically stable surface such as wall
shelving anchored to wall studs.
12. Remove the protective film from the Optical Sensor located
