Interference may be caused by:
1. External vibrations. They occur when the turntable is placed
on a table or shelf in a room with wooden floor. External
vibrations, such as footsteps are transferred from the floor
to the furniture and from there to the turntable. Solution:
rotate the dial rings of the acoustic isolators clockwise (+).
amount.
This will provide optimum acoustic isolation.
Cartridge and stylus
Please refer to the enclosed data sheet supplied separately with
your unit.
Replacing the cartridge (Dual TKS .. . )
You may release the complete cartridge from the tonearm by
pressing the tonearm lift 10 to the rear. When doing this, firmly
grip the cartridge as it will fall off once the locking device has
been released (Fig. 7).
In order to replace the cartridge (Dual TKS .. . ) you must
place it from below against the headshell so that the front edges
are flush. Please ensure that the cartridge lies absolutely flat on
the headshell before pulling the tonearm lift to the front in order
to lock it in position (Fig. 8). You may then, if desired, reinsert
the safety screw 11
Stylus
The stylus is subject to natural wear and tear during normal
playing. Therefore, we recommend you occasionally check the
stylus and, in the case of diamond styli, this should be carried
out after approximately
300
playing hours.
Your specialist
dealer will be pleased to do this for you free of charge. Worn
or damaged
(splintered) styli chisel the modulation from the
grooves and destroy records. Therefore, only use as replacements
the stylus types recornmended
in the technical data of the
cartridge. Imitated styli result in audible quality losses and in-
creased wear and tear of records. Please remember that, for
physical reasons, the stylus holder with the diamond stylus is
extremely fine and must therefore be necessarily sensitive to
impacts, shocks or uncontrolled movement.
Fitting a cartridge
In the case of units delivered without a cartridge, or if you wish
to fit a cartridge of your own choice.
All cartridges having a total weight of 4.5 — 10 g (including the
attachment fittings) may be fitted. Units without a cartridge
are supplied with the necessary fitting accessories (also available
as special accessories under the Dual part No. 269 611 — in the
case of turntables with tuning anti-resonator — Dual part No.
