METHOD OF ADJUSTMENT
1. Relationship between belt and pulley.
Check that the belt is not touching the collars
(A) of the motor pulley. If it is, remove the turn-
table and reattach the belt at the center of the
turntable skirt.
2. Speed adjustment
If the speed is off, adjust it with the variable
resistor on the motor control board.
Adjust for 33 r.p.m first, then set at 45 r.p.m
and check.
After adjusting, check the two speeds (33 and
45 r.p.m) once again.
3. Lead in and lead out adjustment
(1) Lead in
(Test record: Hitachi HT-5 (30cm))
Check that the stylus lowers at 5 to 25
counts for both 17 cm and 30 cm records.
(2) Lead out
(Test record: Nippon Columbia EM-1001
(17cm))
Check that the pickup returns at 3 to 15
counts (3mm pitch).
If the counts are off , adjust as follows:
(a) Fasten the pickup to the arm rest.
(b) Insert a screwdriver into the lead in or lead
out adjustment holes and adjust.

4. Stylus tip height adjustment
(1) Adjust the stylus tip height under standard
conditions.
(Standard conditions: with the turntable,
turntable sheet, and record set)
(2) The styus tip height should be adjusted to
about 6mm when returned (5-7mm at the
outermost position for 17cm records).
(3) If the stylus tip is too high, sound may be
distorted and the stylus may not advance.
If it is too low, it may scratch the record
when returning.
(4) Adjust using the lifter screw.
Turn clockwise to lower the stylus tip.
Turn counterclockwise to lift the stylus tip.
