Preparatory adjustments
The horizontal balance of the tone arm needs to be
adjusted first in order to ensure that an appropriate stylus
pressure is applied on the record. Carry out the
adjustment with the power turned off.
1. Set the anti-skating knob to “0”.
2. Remove the translucent stylus cover, taking care not to
damage the stylus.
3. Release the arm clamp.
4. Free the tone arm from the arm rest.
Leave the lifter lever in a lowered state.
5. Turn the counterweight to adjust the tone arm so that it
returns to an almost horizontal state (*) when the hand
is released. During adjustment, take care not to allow
the stylus to touch the rubber mat or the turntable.
*
Ensure that the tone arm is balanced, so that the end of the tone
arm is neither too high nor too low.
6. Return the tone arm to the arm rest and fix it with the
arm clamp.
Handling the stylus
The tip of the stylus is extremely delicate. Be careful
not to break or bend the stylus when removing the
stylus cover. If the stylus tip is damaged, promptly
replace it with a new stylus. If a damaged stylus is
used, it will result in damage to the record.
