About
stylus
pressure
(tracking
force)
The
tracking
force
is
already
set
to
1.25
g
so
no
adjustment
is
necessary.
(Fig.
4)
When
records
with
a
high
modulation
level
are
played
or
when
the
turntable
is
used
where
the
temperature
is
low
or
in
a
location
subject
to
vibrations,
sound
may
be
distorted
and
the
stylus
may
skip.
If
this
occurs,
rotate
the
stylus-pressure
adjustment
knob
at
the
rear
to
the
‘4
5’
setting.
(Fig.
5)
If
the
knob
is
set
to
‘'1.0”’
the
tracking
force
will
be
lighter.
@
Adjusting
the
anti-skating
control
(Fig.
6)
This
is
set
to
the
same
level
as
the
tracking
force
(1.25);
there
is
no
need
to
adjust
it
yourself.
However,
if
the
index
mark
()
is
off
center,
reset
it
to
the
proper
position.
If
the
tracking
force
is
set
to
1.5
g,
the
anti-skating
control
also
must
be
set
to
‘‘1.5”’.

sides
of
the
cover
and
lower

slots.
To
remove
the
cover,
open
it
and
pull
upward.
Note:
Opening
or
closing
the
cover
during
play
may
cause
vibrations
and
groove
skipping.
if
you
must
open
the
cover
during
play,
do
so
very
gently.
