STEP

4/

Installing

the

Turntable

Take

note

of

the

following

points

and

install

the

turntable

properly.

Find

a

location

which:

@!s

horizontal

and

flat.

@/s

characterized

by

minimal

floor

vibration

or

is

not

affected

by

any

vibrations

transmitted.

@ls

affected

sound

pressures

vibrations

from

speaker

system.

:

(Do

not

install

the

turntable

front

of,

or

on

top

of,

the

speakers.)

@Allows

easy

operation

and

gives

visible

access

to

the

record

and

styius.

After

having

carried

out

steps

[1]

through

[4],

read

through

the

following

checkpoints.

Check

the

tracking

force

and

anti-skating

adjustments.

|

@The

ANTI-SKATE

control

must

be

aligned

with

the

same

number

as

the

tracking

force.

The

following

troublé

is

apparent

when

the

number

does

not

tally

with

the

tracking

force:

Too

high:

The

sound

is

distorted

and

the

tonearm

slides

toward

the

outside

of

the

record.

Too

low:

The

tonearm

slides

toward

the

inside

of

the

re-

cord

when

the

stylus

descends

onto

the

record.

©The

tracking

force

must

be

adjusted

within

the

correct

tracking

force

range

of

the

cartridge.

The

following

trouble

is

apparent

when

the

tracking

force

is

not

properly

adjusted:

Excessive

tracking

force:

The

sound

is

distorted

and

the

cartridge

itself

touches

the

record.

Insufficient

tracking

force:

The

sound

is

distorted

and

interrupted.

®The

tracking

force

must

be

adjusted

with

the

ANTI-

SKATE

control

at

[0].

Unless

this

control

is

set

to

the

[0]

position,

a

force

is

generated

by

the

anti-skating

mechanism

which

pulls

the

tonearm

to

the

right

(toward

the

arm

rest).

Therefore,

when

attaining

the

horizontal

balance,

the

tonearm

is

not

at

rest

and

so

the

operation

is

difficult

to

perform.

Even

at

the

[0]

position

there

may

be

some

movement.

This

is

due

to

the

increased

rotational

sensitivity

of

the

tonearm

enabling

the

stylus

to

trace

efficiently

the

sound

grooves

on

the

record,

and

it

does

not

indicate

that

there

is

anything

wrong

with

the

turntable.
