Next, assemble the tonearm. Remove the twist tie and protective foam. Temporarily secure the
tonearm to its rest with the locking clamp. Attach the headshe11 with preinstalled AT-VM95E
cartridge by inserting rt into the tonearm socket. While holding the headshell rotate the locking ring
counterclockwise. As the ring rotates, it puHs the headshell into its seated position. Hand-tighten
carefully, but do not overtighten.
Install the counterweight, making certain the stylus force gauge dial is oriented toward the front. As
you rotate the counterweight, it wil I thread onto the tonearm.
Now we will balance the tonearm, set the tracking force, and adjust the anti-skate for the AT-
VM95E cartridge. This important process allows the cartridge to track properly, and faiJure to
perform the process correctly can cause the stylus to wear prematurely and possibly damage your
records. First., set the anti-skate adjustment knob to "O."' Remove the stylus's protective cover. Slide
it straight forward off the front of the cartridge, exposing the stytus. WhHe gently holding the
headshell to stabihze the tonearm., re,ease the locking damp. At this point, the tonearm is
unbalanced and can easily swing. Be careful not to let the stylus drag across the platter. While
gently holding the headshelt rotate the counterweight until the tonearm is horizontally balanced
(floating}. It should hover freely just above the pJatter and not touch the platter's surface. Once the
tonearm is balanced,. without touching the counterweight, carefully move the tonearm to its rest
and secure it with the locking damp.
