NOTE
If the total weight is in excess of
30grs the arm cannot balance.

weight set for up to 40grs (weight set
DV7D).
4. Tone arm height adjusting
This adjustment can be made by
releasing the height adjust screw as
shown in Fig 6.
Height adjustment is correct when
sub arm is parallel to record surface.
Always hold the arm securely to avoid
to fall when releasing the adjust
screw.
5. Tracking force setting
DV501 has static balance type
tracking force. Insert the sub weight
onto the sub arm with the weight
screw facing towards you (it will not fit
if the screw faces the main arm )
With the headshell and cartridge in
place slide the weight along the sub
arm until it balances precisely.
When this position is reached slide
the weight forward by the required
number of dots to obtain tracking
weight.
Each dot represents 0.5g of tracking
force (see Fig 7)
Caution
The larger marks on the sub arm are for use only
with optional weight set DV7D.
