TONEARM DROP-POINT ADJUSTMENT
The tonearm’s drop-point during auto play has been adjusted at the
factory. If this needs to be readjusted, proceed as follows.
@
Be
sure
that
the
turntable
is
turned
off
and
the
tonearm
is
secured to the arm rest.
@
Remove
the
rubber
cap
over
the
tonearm
drop-point
adjustment
opening located at the right side of the arm base.
© Insert the supplied adjustment key into the opening
-To move the drop-point inward... turn the screw in direction A.
To move the drop-point outward ... turn the screw in direction B.
@ Be sure not to turn the screw in direction B so far that the stylus
tip cannot make contact with the record.
@ Start auto play and check that the stylus lowers on the correct
drop-point.
:
@ If the drop-point is correct for 30 cm (12 inch) records, it will also
be correct for 17 cm (7 inch) records. |
OVERHANG CHECK*
Check
that
the
cartridge
is
correctly
installed,
using
the
alignment
gauge
on
the
underside
of
the
rubber
mat.
If
the
installation
is
in-
correct,
the
tonearm
drop-point
during
auto
play
will
be
incorrect.
@ Place the rubber mat upside down, and turn on the power.
@ Bring the tonearm over the point where the two fine lines cross
and carefully lower the stylus to this point by pressing the V/V
button. | =
© Check to see that the head shell is parallel to the lines marked on
the rubber mat, as shown in the illustration. If it is not, loosen the
cartridge mounting screws and slide the cartridge to the required
position. Tighten the screws and recheck the balance and stylus
force.
Correct
overhang
;
*
Overhang
While
record
grooves
are
cut
by
a
head
which
tracks
a record's
radius
in
a
line,
a
tonearm,
because
it
is
pivoted,
traces
an
arc
on
a
record.
To
compen-
sate
for
this
difference
in
movement,
the
head
shell
is
angled
and
the
car-
tridge
is
installed
with
a
16.5
mm
overhang.
(See
the
illustration.)
The
cor-
rect
overhang
is
obtained
by
installing
the
cartridge
with
a
37.5
mm
space
between
the
stylus
tip
and
the
end
of
the
cartridge
shell
and
by
checking
the
installation
with
the
alignment
gauge.
