How to prepare the record player for operation
13
Note:
Turn clockwise to lift the tone arm.
Turn anti-clockwise to lower the tone arm.
When adjusting the horizontal balance "0" setting take
care that the pick-up stylus does not come into contact
with the turntable mat or any other objects.
è
Hold the counterweight firmly with one hand and turn
the counterweight adjuster scale until the "0" mark is
at the 12 o'clock position (vertical).
è
Now turn the counterweight together with adjuster
scale anti-clockwise (to the left) to set the correct
tracking weight.
The tracking weight can be read off directly from the
adjuster scale.
Note:
The recommended tracking weight for the cartridge pick-
up system supplied is 3.0 - 3.5 grammes. If in doubt follow
the recommendation of the pick-up cartridge
manufacturer.
Anti-skating adjuster
The skating force exerts a pull on the tone arm towards
the centre of the disc that increases the force on the inner
edge of the record groove. To compensate for the skating
force and the negative effect it has on the sound pick-up
from stereo records in particular, the record player has an
anti-skating mechanism.
è
Set the anti-skating adjuster
16
to the
same figure
as the tracking force. See Fig. on page 12.
