Vertical Tracking Force setting (VTF)
Before setting the Vertical Tracking Force, confirm the exact weight of your cartridge.
Depending on your cartridge weight, determine whether to use the counterweight with or
without the additional insert, in accordance with the specifications above.
Pushing carefully, turn the counterweightonto the rear end of the counterweight support rod
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, turning the counterweight counterclockwise (moving it in closer
toward the tonearm) increases the VTF, turning clockwise (away from the tonearm) reduces the
VTF. Turn the counterweight appropriately until the VTF shown on the pressure gauge matches
your cartridge’s recommended vertical tracking force specifications.
