Dual CS 503- 2 - Tone Arm Balancing and Tracking Force Setup; Starting and Cueing Control; Stop Procedure; Cartridge and Stylus Management

Balancing the tone arm and setting the tracking
and antiskating force
1. Switch off the antiskating device 5.
2. Unlock the tone arm and move it over the tone arm rest. Place the
cue-control lever 9 in Y. position. Hold the tonearm whilst doing so.
3. Balance the tone arm precisely by turning the counter-balance. The
tone arm is balances precisely when it pivots freely.
4. Setthe required tracking force for the cartridge used by tuming the
dial 4. The tracking force for series cartridges ULM 63 E = 17.5 mN
= dial position 1.75.
Note: if a different cartridge is used, refer to the separate cartridge
data sheet for the necessary setting values.
Setthe appropriate value of the antiskating device 5 on the basis of the
following table:
Tracking force Antiskating setting 5
Tracking force scale 4
1 210 MN 1
ULM 1.5 =15 mN 1.5
63E — 1.75 = 17.5 mN 1.75
2 220 mN 2
2.5 «25 mN 25
3 -30 mN 3
Start, cueing control
— Select the required platter speed 33 or 45 rpm with the knob 6,
remove the stylus protection cap, release the tone arm and position
it over the lead-in groove of the record.
— The tone arm is now damped with the cue control lever 9. Bring the
cue control lever in to position E and lower carefully onto the record.
— The tone arm can be raised at any arbitrary position — also for brief
interruptions in playing — by means ot the cue control lever (cue
control lever in position Y). The platter continues to tum.
Stop
— The tone armis raised automatically at the end of the record and the
device is switched off. You can also switch off the tumtable by
setting the cue control lever in position Y. and then setting the tone
arm back onto the tone arm rest.
— After you have finished using your tumtable, we recommend that
you set the tone arm on the rest, lock it in position and put the stylus
protection cap back over the stylus.
Changing and fitting the cartridge
A 1⁄2 inch cartridge with a net weight of З . . . 10 g can be fitted in place
of the cartridge already fitted or on units without a cartridge.
The Dual range of accessories offers appropriate cartridges.
— Loosen screw 8 and remove the head shell by pulling it forward (fig.
5).

Stylus
The stylus is subject to natural wear and tear during playing. We
therefore recommend regular checks, which should be carried out
after at least 300 playing hours in the case of diamond-tipped styli.
Your dealer will be happy to do this for you cost-free. Wom out or
damaged (chipped) styli damage records. Therefore, only use as
replacements the stylus types recommended in the technical data of
the cartridge. Other styli often cause audible reductions in quality and
increased wear to records. Remove the stylus by pulling it diagonaily
downwards.
To fit a stylus in, follow the procedure in reverse order (fig. 5).
