TRACKING-FORCE ADJUSTMENT
Turn the counterweight as illustrated so that the recommended
tracking-force figure for the supplied cartridge (1.7 g) is aligned
with the center line on the tonearm. The maximum tracking force
available is 3 grams.

ANTI SKATING
Tracking force
Tracking force is the vertical force applied to the styius tip so that it
accurately traces the record groove.
The tracking force is applied after the tonearm is first balanced.
Since the proper tracking force differs from cartridge to cartridge,
be sure to apply the tracking force recommended for your cartridge.
If the tracking force is too light, the stylus will skip grooves and
when it is too heavy, the stylus tip and the record will wear ex-
cessively. However, if you play a record at a temperature below
10°C (50°F), or if the record to be played is badly warped, increase
the tracking force by 20 to 30%
Anti-skating compensator
While the record is being played, friction between the record groove
and the stylus produces a force that tends to drive the tonearm
toward the center of the record.
The anti-skating compensator cancels this force. The anti-skating
force should be adjusted to the same value as that of the tracking
force.
Incorrect anti-skating compensator adjustment results in sound
distortion and uneven wear on both the stylus and the record.
AFTER THE TONEARM ADJUSTMENT
When the tonearm adjustments are completed, turn on the power
and press the START/STOP button to raise the cueing platform. The
turntable is now ready for record playing.
Press the POWER switch again to turn off the unit.
