To achieve the best sound reproduction, the cartridge must be positioned
precisely in the head shell. To do this, fit the tangency guide (you'll find this in
the parts bag. It's a white rectangular piece of cardboard with black lines) over
the spindle at point 'A’ and onto the platter, black lines side up (See diagram
below). Remove the stylus guard. Move the tonearm (9) (adjusted for the correct
tracking force of your cartridge) to the pattern. When the stylus tip of the
cartridge at the two points shown, the front of the cartridge should be parallel to
the lines on the pattern. If necessary, slide the cartridge back and forth until the
stylus tip is positioned correctly. Tighten the cartridge mounting screws.
VTA Adjustment: The VTA for the installed cartridge has been properly set at
the factory. To adjust the VTA for other cartridges, lay a record on the platter (5).
Slacken the horizontal adjustment screws (two Allen screws located near the
plinth on the back of the tonearm pillar) with the Allen Key provided.
IMPORTANT
Do not loosen the vertical screws that hold the anti skate arm to the base.
Move the tonearm (9) up or down until it is parallel to the record surface when
viewed from the side. Tighten the horizontal adjustment screws.
VTA like Tracking Force can also be set by ear. Feel free to experiment with
VTA positions slightly above or below parallel and choose the position you prefer.
If you have any further questions regarding the adjustment of your turntable,
please contact your music hall dealer.
Azimuth Adjustment: Azimuth is the angle of the stylus to the record groove.
Viewed from head-on, you want the stylus to be perpendicular to the record
groove so as to not favor one channel over the other. Keep in mind that azimuth
is properly set at the factory and rarely needs to be adjusted. You can check the
azimuth by performing a visual inspection. Place the tonearm (9) in the middle of
a non-spinning record and look to see that the stylus is perpendicular to the
record groove. If it is off to one side or the other, you will need to adjust the
azimuth. Start with the tonearm (9) in the tonearm rest (8). To adjust
azimuth, slightly loosen the setscrew located towards the rear of the tonearm (9).
This will loosen the tonearm (9) and allow you to twist it from side to side. The
top of the tonearm headshell should be flat and not tilted up to the right or left.
