Adjusting The Stylus Pressure - Omnitronic DD-4750 Bedienungsanleitung

5.3 Adjusting the stylus pressure

1 Pull down the protective cap of the stylus.
2 Turn the anti-skating knob counter-clockwise to "0".
3 Place the lever for the tone arm lift in the front position.
4 Open the tone arm locking lever to the right. Seize the handle of the tone arm and lead it carefully just
before the turntable platter so that it can be moved upwards and downwards. Attention! The stylus must
not hit against anything.
5 Lead the tone arm with the left hand to the side so that the stylus does not hit against the turntable
platter. With the right hand turn the counterweight so that the tone arm remains exactly in a horizontal
position and does not move upwards or downwards (Fig. 3).
• If the tone arm moves upwards, turn the counterweight counter-clockwise.
• If the tone arm moves downwards, turn the counterweight clockwise.
6 Put the tone arm back onto the tone arm support and secure it with the locking lever.
7 The counterweight is provided with a black rotary ring with a scale. The marking line on the tone arm
points to a value on this scale. Without turning the counterweight, only turn the ring to "0" (Fig. 4).
8 The scale indicates the stylus pressure in grams. A stylus pressure of 3.5 g is required for the supplied
stylus system. For this purpose, turn the counterweight (with the scale) counter-clockwise until the
marking line on the tone arm points to " 3.5" (Fig. 5).

5.4 Adjusting the anti-skating facility
When playing a record, forces occur on the stylus which are compensated by the anti-skating facility. For this
purpose, adjust the anti-skating knob from "0" to the value which equals the stylus pressure, i. e. for the
supplied stylus system to " 3.5". The value is indicated on the knob. (Fig. 6).
