Adjusting the stylus pressure and anti-skating
Adjust the stylus pressure for the cartridge to be used. Anti-skating
adjustment is for negating the affect of centrifugal force on the stylus
tip caused by rotation of a record during playing.
1Set the ANTI-SKATING knob to “0”.
2Lower the lifter lever and move the tone arm over
the turntable.
• For a cartridge with a removable stylus cover, remove the stylus
cover.
3Turn the counterweight so that the tone arm will be
parallel to the turntable when the head shell is gently
released from holding status.
To protect the stylus tip, turn the counterweight slowly and
move it in the direction of the arrow.

Counterweight
• If the cartridge to be used is too light or too heavy, the tone arm will
not be level. For such a cartridge, use an optional counterweight
(sold separately) made by our company. For details, consult your
nearest repair outlet.
4Return the tone arm to the armrest.
5Holding the counterweight with a nger so that it
does not move, turn the stylus pressure adjustment
ring so that it’s “0” mark is lined up with the black
line of the tone arm's rear shaft.
Turn the stylus pressure
adjustment ring only.
6Turn the counterweight in the direction of arrow
and set to the appropriate stylus pressure for the
cartridge.
• The appropriate stylus pressure for the included cartridge is 2.5 g.
Set to “2.5”.
• For the appropriate stylus pressure for the cartridge to be used,
refer to the operation manual for the cartridge.
7Turn the ANTI-SKATING knob and set to the same
value as for the cartridge’s stylus pressure.
For the cartridge of the stylus pressure of 3.0 g or more, set
to “3”.
The proper anti-skating value can be achieved.
