Before playing any records, make the following adjustments
to ensure proper tracking. Incorrect tracking causes hum
and distortion, and generally produces inferior stereo
sound reproduction.
A. STYLUS PRESSURE ADJUSTMENT
1. Disconnect the Power Cord.
2. Set the ANTISKATING Adjuster to 0.
3. Unlock the Tone Arm and bring it towards the Platter.
* Remove the Stylus Guard being careful not to damage the
Stylus.
4. With the Tone Arm held midway between the Tone Arm
Rest and the rim of the Platter, adjust the Main Weight
until the Tone Arm is in perfect horizontal balance.
5. Without moving the Main Weight, rotate the Stylus Pres-
sure Scale Ring only to match the "O" mark with the mark
on the weight shaft.
6. Return the Tone Arm to the Tone Arm Rest.
7. Lock the Tone Arm in place and rotate the Main Weight
counterclockwise, as viewed from the front (the Stylus
Pressure Scale Ring will move with it), until the desired
Stylus Pressure Scale indication is at the mark on the
shaft. The range of adjustment is from 0 to 2.5 grams.
* For AP-D210C only: The recommended stylus pressure for the
cartridge supplied, PC-85, is 2 grams.
8. Set the ANTISKATING adjuster to the corresponding
stylus pressure.
B. OVERHANG (Not necessary for AP-D210C)
The distance between the Spindle and the Stylus when the
Tone Arm is centered over the Platter is known as the over-
hang. Different cartridges require different overhang adjust-
ments. For your convenience, the Rubber Mat has indicator
grooves at the center to facilitate overhang adjustment.
1. Disconnect the Power Cord.
2. Center the Tone Arm over the Platter.
3. Adjust the cartridge so that the Stylus position is even
Hi the Groove for Overhang Adjustment (middle groove
ring).
The cartridge position can be adjusted by resetting the Ca rtridge
Re-setting Screws in the Head Shell.
