Cartridge Down force Adjustment
The Counterweight supplied is suitable for cartridges weighing between 3.0-6.0g.
•
Gently push and turn the Counterweight onto the rear of the tonearm (with the scale facing towards the front of
the turntable).
•
Remove the cartridge protection cap.
•
Lower the tonearm lift and position the cartridge in the space between tonearm rest and platter.
•
Carefully rotate the Counterweight until the tonearm balances out. The tonearm should return to the balanced
position if it is moved up or down. This adjustment must be done carefully.
•
Once the tonearm is correctly balanced return it to its' rest. Hold the Counterweight without moving it, and
gently rotate the Down force Scale ring until the zero is in line with the black line on the rear of the tonearm.
Check whether the arm still balances out.
•
Rotate the counterweight counter clockwise (seen from the front) to adjust the down force according to the
cartridge manufacturer's recommendations. One mark on the scale represents 0.05g of down force.
NOTE: The recommended down force for the factory fitted cartridge is 3.5±0.5g.
Anti-skating force adjustment
The anti-skating force must be adjusted corresponding to the down force as follows:
