ADJUSTMENT
Adjustment of Overhang
As shown in the illustration, overhang indicates the distance from the stylus tip to the center of the turntable spindle when the stylus tip falls on the extension of a straight line from the pivot of the tonearm to the center of the spindle. If this adjustment is not correct, the stylus will not track the grooves properly.
q Loosen the two cartridge mounting screws. w Position the tonearm over the center spindle. e Slide the cartridge until the stylus tip is at specified distance from the center of spindle. (see illustration) r Once proper distance is obtained, tighten the cartridge mounting screws.
Note
Adjustment of Horizontal Zero(0) Balance
Be careful not to touch your finger to the stylus tip during the adjustment.
q Release the tonearm clamp. w Allow tonearm to float freely and adjust balanceweight until tonearm is level. This is the zero position.
e See illustration a) When the balanceweight and cartridge are balanced, the tonearm is held horizontal. b) Excessive forward advancement of the balanceweight causes the cartridge side to be lowered. c) Excessive backward retreatment of the balanceweight causes the cartridge side to be raised.
r Return the tonearm to the armrest. t While holding the balanceweight steady, rotate the numeric disc on the front of the balanceweight until the center line marker and the "0" meet. Now that the zero point is set the stylus pressure is represented by the numbers on the dial.
Note
In case the balanceweight is moved, do the adjustment of horizontal zero balance again.
