TURNTABLE
PLATTER
The turntable platter of this set also works as part of the rotor
of the motor. Never remove the turntable platter unnecessarily.
Never stick dust or iron filings to adhere to the magnet rotor.

STROBO
DOTS
These strobo dots, set on the tapered rim of the turntable platter
to make strobo reading easier, are divided into four

45 r.p.m. at 0 Hz
93-1/3 r.p.m. at 50 Hz
45 r.p.m. at 60 Hz
33-1/3 r.p.m. at 60 Hz
@ TONEARM RETURN ADJUSTMENT
SCREW
In some cases, the tonearm will tend to return to its rest position
before the record has finished playing. In other cases, it will to
return to the rest position even after the record has finished
Rotation of this screw in the proper direction will correct either
condition.

STYLUS
SET-DOWN
ADJUSTMENT
SCREW
To be adjusted if the tonearm fails to set down at the right start-
ing point at the beginning of the record. For access to the
screw, a rubber cap above it must be removed.
Clockwise rotation ...This will move the set-down point out-
ward, away from the record center.
Counterclockwise rotation...This will move the set-down point
inward toward the record center.
® ARM LIFT ADJUSTMENT SCREW
When the tonearm is removed from the record surface via the
tonearm lift, the space between the stylus tip and the record
surface should be between 5 and 10 mm (between 3/16” and
25/64"), If this height needs adjustment, turn the screw along the
KNOB
Turn this knob to the same number as the stylus pressure ring
indicates.
Skating force is the frictional force caused by contact between
the tip of the stylus and the record groove, and is applied to the
stylus as a side pressure depending upon the relationship of the
geometrical position of the tonearm.
This force results in an unbalance of the contact pressure be-
tween the stylus tip and each groove wall of the record, an
increase of distortion, a decrease of separation characteristics
and abnormal wear of the stylus tip and the record grooves.
For this reason, it is necessary to compensate this skating force.
This anti-skating force mechanism performs this compensation
function.
The quantity of anti-skating force is in proportion to the stylus
pressure and, therefore, it should be adjusted according to the
stylus pressure.
