easily tell this by watching for the point where the TONE ARM

(7) "floats" freely.

4.Place TONE ARM (7) on ARM REST (11) and lock it in place with the ARM CLAMP (10).

5.With the TONE ARM (7) locked on the ARM REST (11), hold the COUNTERWEIGHT (8) steady with one hand while rotating the STYLUS PRESSURE RING (9) until the numeral "0" on the ring aligns with the center line on the TONE ARM (7) rear shaft. The HORIZONTAL ZERO (0) balance should be completed.

6.Re-float the TONE ARM (7) to ensure horizontal zero (0) bal- ance. If zero balance has not been maintained, repeat counter- weight steps 3 - 5.

7.After adjusting the HORIZONTAL ZERO (0) balance, turn the balanced COUNTERWEIGHT (8) counter clockwise until the cartridge manufacturer's recommend stylus pressure appears on the STYLUS PRESSURE RING (9) where it meets the cen- ter line of the TONE ARM (7) rear shaft.

ADJUSTING THE ANTI-SKATING CONTROL:

Set the ANTI-SKATING CONTROL (12) to the same value as the stylus pressure.

NOTE: IF YOUR TURNTABLE CAME WITH A CN-1000 CARTRIDGE, IT HAS A RECOMMENED TRACKING FORCE OF 3.0 GRAMS AND CAN HAVE RANGE FROM 2.5-3.5 GRAMS.

ADJUSTING TONE ARM HEIGHT:

The TT-03comes with an adjustable TONE ARM BASE (7). This feature is generally used when a larger or smaller sized headshell is used for record playing. You may adjust the height of the TONE ARM (7) by unlocking the base with the use of the LOCK SWITCH (20) located next to the ANTI SKATE CON- TROL (12). Then adjust the TONE ARM ADJUSTMENT LEVER (8), located below the counter weight, to adjust the height of the TONE ARM (7) by 6 mm.

CONNECTIONS:

1.Plug the AC power plug into an appropriate outlet.

2.See TABLE A for proper connection of the output RCA plugs and ground connector. Make sure that all the plugs are firmly plugged into the appropriate jacks (phono inputs).

NOTE: TO REDUCE HUM, MAKE SURE THE GROUND LUG IS FIRMLY CON- NECTED TO THE GROUND SCREW.
