1. LEAD IN POSITION ADJUSTMENT
Remove the rubber plug which is located on panel
toward the rear part of the pick-up arm. When the
pick-up arm is moved from the position shown in
Fig. 1 toward the position shown in Fig. 2 adjustment
screw (B) becomes accessible through the hole from
which the rubber plug has been removed as the
lead-out position is approched. When adjustment
screw (B) is turned clockwise, lead-in is adjusted
further inward and when turned counter-clockwise,
further outward.
Therefore, adjust lead-in position as follows:
For adjusting toward inner circumference turn
clockwise.
For adjusting toward outer circumference turn
counter-clockwise.
NOTE: 1. When the adjustment screw is turned one
revolution, the position of the pick-up
arm stylus is changed by about 2 mm.
2. When using the standard accessory car-
tridge, adjust so that on a 30 cm record,
lead-in takes place between 298 and
293, on a 25cm record, lead-in takes
place between 247 and 242¢, and on a
17 cm record, lead-in takes place between
173 and 168¢.
(These diameters are measured with
Center Spindle as center position.)
3. After adjustment, be sure to re-install
rubber plug.
2. LEAD OUT POSITION
Remove the rubber plug which is located on panel
toward the rear part of the pick-up arm. Stationary
the pick-up arm (on arm rest) as shown in Fig. 1.
At this position, adjustment screw (A) becomes
accessible through the hole from which the rubber
has been removed. When adjustment screw (A) is
turned clockwise, lead-out will be sooner and when
turned counter-clockwise, lead-out will be delayed.
Therefore, adjust lead-in position as follows:
For adjusting toward outer circumference turn
clockwise.
For adjusting toward inner circumference turn
counter-clockwise.
NOTE: 1. When the adjustment screw is turned one
revolution, the position of the pick-up
arm stylus is changed by about 2 mm.
2. When using the standard accessory car-
tridge, adjust so that on a 30 cm or 25 cm
record, operation begins between 115¢
and 109¢@, and on a 17 cm record, opera-
tion begins between 106¢ and 98@.
(These diameters are measured with
Center Spindle and Center Position.)
3. After adjustment, be sure to re-install
rubber plug.
