Adjusting tone arm and pick-up cartridge

Turn the tracking force adjuster (1) to „0“ and the

anti-skating knob (2) counter-clockwise until it

stops (Fig. 6).

Screw the tonearm counter weight (3) onto the

rear tonearm tube (Fig. 5).

Unlock the tone arm (4) and move it a bit towards

the centre of the platter. Bring the lift-lever (5) into

position DOWN while holding back the tone arm

(Fig. 6). By turning the counter weight (3) the tone

arm can be precisely balanced in order to make it

hover freely above the platter. Move the tone arm

back to its rest. You can now adjust the tracking

force (1) and the anti-skating force (2). Adjust to

1.5 mN (MilliNewton) for the factory-installed pick-

up cartridge Thorens TAS 267. As for the required

anti-skating force refer to the table below:
