@ Adjustment of anti-skating controi
Set the anti-skating control knob to the same vaiue as the stylus
pressure. (See Fig. 12.)
Note:
When a cartridge with integral dust brush is used, follow the cartridge
manufacturer's recommendation for adjusting both stylus pressure and
anti-skating force.
@ Installation of dust cover (See Fig. 13.)
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
Place the unit in a stable and horizontal position, where there is
little or no vibration.
Locate the unit as far away from the speakers as possible and
isolate the unit from sound radiation from them.
Do not place the unit where it is exposed to direct sun, dust,
moisture or heat.
Keep it in a well ventilated piace.
