4. After the tonearm is horizontally zero (0) balanced, tem-
porarily refasten the tonearm with the arm clamp.
5. Hold the balance weight stationary with one hand as
shown in the picture, and rotate only the stylus-pressure
ring to bring the numeral “0” of the ring into alignment
with the center line on the tonearm rear shaft. (See Fig. 13.)
The adjustment of the horizontal zero (0) balance is now
completed.
6. After adjusting the horizontal zero (0) balance, turn the
balance weight in the direction of the arrow and align to
the correct stylus pressure. (See Fig. 14.)
(Follow the cartridge manufacturer's recommendation.)
As the stylus-pressure ring moves in step with the balance
weight, proper stylus pressure can be selected by directly
reading the graduated ring.
@ Adjustment of anti-skating control
Set the anti-skating control knob to the same value as the
stylus pressure. (See Fig. 15.)
™ Adjustment of tonearm height (See Fig. 16.)
The height of the tonearm can be adjusted up to 6mm, anda
scale is provided on the adjust ring in 0.5 mm increments.
Be sure to set the proper arm height using the adjust ring
scale and referring to the table.
Before adjusting the tonearm height, unlock the tonearm lock
by turning the arm lock knob. (See Fig. 16.)

Installation of dust cover (See Fig. 17.)
Place the dust cover into position from directly above, holding
it at both sides. For detaching the dust cover, be certain first
to raise it as illustrated before removal.
Note:
Opening or closing of the dust cover during play should
be avoided. This may not only cause undesired vibrations,
but also result in skipping of the stylus.
If you must open the dust cover during play, do so as
gently as possible.
Placement
M Place the unit in a stable and horizontal position, where there
is little or no vibration.
The unit has the superior feature of double-isolator const-
ruction. For obtaining the maximum effect of this feature,
place the unit in a stable, level place. In addition, be careful
not to put anything under the turntable base.
Make certain that the surface on which the turntable rests is
large enough to accommodate the legs fully.
