Adjusting the height of the insulators

Turn the insulators to adjust their height so that the
turntable is placed level.
Turning an insulator foot clockwise increases height, and turning it
counterclockwise decreases it.
Using a commercial level allows more accurate adjustment.

Adjusting the height of the tone arm

This adjustment is for the stylus tip of the cartridge so that it will trace
the groove of a record correctly. Adjust the height of the tone arm
so that it will be parallel to the record when the stylus is placed on a
record.
Adjust it for the cartridge or head shell to be used.
When the included head shell and cartridge are to be used, adjust
the arm height adjustment ring to “0”.
1Place the stylus tip on a record, and check that the
tone arm is parallel to the record.
If it is not parallel, perform steps 2 to 5.
2Return the tone arm to the armrest.
3Turn the arm height x knob fully counterclockwise.
The lock of the arm height adjustment ring is released.
