4. Place TONE ARM (7) on ARM REST (11) and lock it in place with
the ARM CLAMP (10).
5. With the TONE ARM (7) locked on the ARM REST (11), hold the
COUNTERWEIGHT (9) steady with one hand while rotating the
STYLUS PRESSURE RING (12) until the numeral "0" on the ring
aligns with the center line on the TONE ARM (7) rear shaft. The hori-
zontal zero (0) balance should be completed.
6. Refloat the TONE ARM (7) to ensure horizontal zero (0) balance. If
zero balance has not been maintained, repeat counterweight steps 3-5.
7. After adjusting the horizontal zero (0) balance, turn the balanced
COUNTERWEIGHT (9) counter clockwise until the cartridge
manufacturer's recommend stylus pressure appears on the STYLUS
PRESSURE RING (12) where it meets the center line of the TONE
ARM (7) rear shaft.
ADJUSTING THE ANTI-SKATING CONTROL:
Set the ANTI-SKATING CONTROL (13) to the same value as the sty-
lus pressure.

play was interrupted.
3. Pushing the START/STOP (17) button stops the PLATTER (2) and
leaves the TONE ARM (7) at the last play position on the record.
PLAYING 45 RPM RECORDS:
1. When playing a 45 rpm record with a large center hole, first place
the 45 ADAPTER (21) on the center spindle.
2. Be sure that the SPEED SELECTOR (19) switch is set to the 45
position and the 45 SPEED INDICATOR (18) is illuminated.

16), one for each speed.
2. When the selected speed's PITCH CONTROL (15, 16) is positioned
off center, the pitch can vary +/- 6%.
