TONEARM ADJUSTMENT
The turntable must be on a level surface while the tonearm is being
adjusted.
Be careful not to damage the stylus tip while making adjustments.
TONEARM BALANCE ADJUSTMENT
It is critically important for good sound reproduction that the stylus
traces the record groove accurately and with the proper tracking
force. To do this, the tonearm must first be balanced so that the
proper tracking force can be applied. Be sure that the power cord is
disconnected.
O Depress the i /JL button to lower the cueing platform.
When the cueing platform
is lowered, there is a
clearance between the
tonearm and the cueing
platform.
