1. STYLUS PRESSURE ADJUSTMENT
1) Plug the power cord into a wall outlet of rated
voltage.
2) Unlock tone arm.
3) Bring the tone arm over to the turntable to start
the motor. Pull the Start/Cut lever toward you and
release immediately.
4) Wait until the tone arm lift is completely lowered.
5) Keep the tone arm between the turntable and arm
rest without touching either.
6) Rotate the main weight backward until the tone
arm is in perfect horizontal balance. (Zero balance
is attained.)
CAUTION 1: Be sure that the Anti-skating Ad-
juster is set to zero.
2: Be careful not to damage the stylus.
7) Without moving the main weight, turn the stylus
pressure scale ring only to match the “O” mark
with the marker on the weight shaft (see Fig. 8).
8) Turn the main weight counterclockwise (as viewed
from the front) with the stylus pressure scale ring
until the marker on the weight shaft corresponds
to the desired stylus pressure on the scale.
NOTES 1: The AP-207 and AP-307 Black and
Silver Panel Models do not come
equipped with cartridge.
2: If there is outside interference, it is
needed that the stylus pressure should
be increased for stable playback. The
range of adjustable stylus pressure is
from 0 to 3 grams.
9) Set the Anti-skating Adjuster to correspond to the
stylus pressure. (Fine adjust if necessary.)
