with your cartridge.
Connect the cartridge as indicated below:
•
White

•
Red

•

•
Blue

For correct cartridge alignment, use the two-point cartridge alignment protractor provided with
your E-Flat accessories. If unfamiliar with two-point setup, please refer to your dealer.
c)
Vertical Tracking Force setting (VTF)
Before setting the Vertical Tracking Force, confirm the exact weight of your cartridge.
Loosen the locking nut and set correct VTF as shown in the following illustration.
Pushing carefully, move the counterweight
in the counterweight groove as shown in the
illustration below. Place the stylus pressure gauge (not supplied) onto the platter. To set the
required VTF, lower the tonearm lift lever as indicated in the illustration and place the tip of the
stylus on the pressure gauge.
As viewed from the headshell, moving the counterweight closer toward the tonearm increases
the VTF, moving away from the tonearm reduces the VTF. Move the counterweight
appropriately until the VTF shown on the pressure gauge matches your cartridge’s
recommended vertical tracking force specifications. Tighten the locking nut.
