4.3 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 counterweight
onto 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.
4.4 Tonearm output connection
Connect the tonearm cable provided with the accessories to the RCA tonearm output that
is located at the rear of the turntable, behind the tonearm. Connect the grounding cable on
the earth connection screw.
