OVERHANG ADJUSTMENT
Overhang adjustment is the positioning Of the
stylus tip at the optimal distance from the ful-
crum of the tonearm that enables the stylus tip
to trace the record grooves properly. Poor
adjustment of the overhang will render the
stylus tip incapable of tracing the groove cor-
rectly.
1. Loosen the two cartridge mounting screws.
2. Put the center spindle through the hole on
the overhang gauge, printed side up.
3. Position the overhang gauge so that the
arrow on the points to the fulcrum of the
tonearm.
4. Place the tonearm above the silhoutte
printed on the overhang gauge. Shift the car-
foward or backward until the stylus tip
is exactly above the point indicated by "tip".
5. Gently lower the arm lift and place the
tonearm onto the gauge. Check for correct
alignment. If misaligned, raise the tonearm, and
readjust the cartridge position.
6. After completing the adjustment, slowly
return the tonearm to the arm rest. Tighten the
mounting screws.
Caution: When shifting the cartridge forward Or
backward, be careful not to let fingers or turn-
table surface touch stylus tip.
The overhang has been factory-adjusted to fit
units equipped with Rotel cartridge.
STYLUS FORCE ADJUSTMENT
Appropriate stylus force must be obtained to
let the stylus. trace the grooove correctly, Incor-
rect setting Of the stylus force may cause the
system to skip grooves or affect the reproduced
sound quality.
1.. Lower the cueing stick.
2. Move the counterweight forward and
backward so that the tonearm will be-balanced
horizontally, When balanced, the head shell is
raised and the tonearm parallels the rrvin body
with the tonearm base as fulcrum. (Cautiori:
Be careful not to drop the stylus or hit it
against the platter or other objects.) 5. Turn and Set the anti-skating knob to the
value same as the stylus force of your cartridge.
3. Return the tonearm onto the arm rest.
Stylus force adjustment is now complete.
Turn the ring of the counterweight so
that O point falls on the reference marker on
the tonearm.
4. Turn the counterweight to preset the
reading on the gauge to the designated stylus
force Of your cartridge. DO not touch the gauge
ring, as it will turn with the counter weight,

PLAY
1. Place a record on the platter. use the EP.
when playing records with a large
cmter hole.
2. Set the speed selector to the rpm of the
1.5
record to be played.
3. Release the arm ræt clamp.
4. Lift the cueing stick and swing the tone-
arm carefully to a position directly over the
lead-in groove of the record. This will start the
turntable rotating.
5. Check to see that the"stylus is over the
record. Lower the cueing stick to start play.
If you wish to stop the turntable midway
through a record, press the REJECT button.
The tonearm sill return to the arm rest
matically and the power will go off.
6. When the play is finished, the tonearm
will return to the arm rest automatically
the power will go off.
ADJUSTING TURNTABLE SPEED
The turntable speed can be fine-adjusted.
During play the strobe light projects light onto
the stroboscopic bars on the platter rim. Turn-
ing the speed control knob will drift the strobo-
scopic bars: turning the control knob to •'+' '
direction will move the bars in the same direc-
tion of the turntable rotation, and turning to
direction will move in the direction
posite to that of the turntable rotation. Proper
turntable speed is obtained when the strobo-
scopic bars remain stationary. The four rows of
stroboscopic bars correspond to respective turn-
table speed vs. frequency of household AC as
shown in the figure,
