e Arm-lift height adjustment
The arm-lift height (distance between the stylus tip and
record surface when the cueing control is set to the “ V"
position) has been adjusted at the factory to approximately
5 mm (3/16"). (Fig. 9)
If the clearance is too narrow or too wide (because of
different cartridge dimensions, for example), turn the
adjustment screw clockwise or counterclockwise.
(See Fig. 10)
Clockwise rotation
—distance between the record and stylus tip is decreassed.
Counterclockwise rotation
—distance between the record and stylus tip is increased.
e Adjustment of automatic start position (Fig. 11)
Note:
The auto-start and auto-return adjustment screw. are locat-
ed together. When the tonearm is in or near the arm rest,
the auto-start adjustment screw is visible; (See Fig. 11)
when the tonearm is near the center of a record, the auto-
return adjustment screw is visible. (See Fig. 12)
If the stylus does not land in the lead-in groove, adjust as
follows.
1. Clamp the tonearm to the arm rest.
2. Take off the rubber cap covering the adjustment screw
section.
Turn the screw with a screwdriver, clockwise or counter-
clockwise as necessary.
If the stylus lands too far in,
—turn counterclockwise.
If the stylus descends outside the record,
—turn clockwise.
Adjust so the stylus tip lands 1 ~ 2mm in from the edge
of the record.
e Adjustment of automatic return position (Fig. 12)
. Put the stylus protector on the cartridge.
2. Take off the rubber cap covering the adjustment screw
section and move the tonearm toward the center of the
record,
Then, the auto-return position adjustment screw will
appear.
If the tonearm tends to return to the arm rest before the
play has finished,
—turn counterclockwise.
If the tonearm fails to return after the final groove,
—turn clockwise.

e Overhang adjustment (Fig. 13)
15 mm is the correct overhang for this tonearm.
Loosen the screws and move the cartridge forward or
backward until the distance between the stylus tip and the
plug becomes 52 mm (2-3/64").
Tigthen the screws without moving the cartridge.
Adjust the horizontal zero balance, stylus pressure and arm-
lift height whenever you change the cartridge.
Approx. 5mm (3/16)
