level surface.
b The tracking force is incorrect. Follow the
instructions on page 6 and set the tracking force to
the appropriate value for the cartridge being used.
(The supplied cartridge requires 4 grams of tracking
force.)

through the air or via solid objects (such as shelves, a
cabinet, or the floor) to the turntable where they are
picked up by the stylus, amplified and reproduced
through the speakers.
