TONEARM AND CARTRIDGE

01. Insert the counterweight on the end of the tone

arm, rotating it until it threads into place.
02. Rotate the antiskating knob clockwise until the

mark is right outside.
03. Place the lever for the tone arm lift in the front

position so that the lift bank lowers. For TD1601

push the lift button so that the lift bank lowers.
04. Open the tone arm lock. Seize the handle of

the tone arm and move it just outside the edge of

the platter so that it can float up and down. Re-

move the protective cap from the stylus. (Be careful

not to hit the stylus against anything.)
05. Turn the counterweight until the tone arm floats

level. If the tone arm moves up: Turn the counter-

weight counter- clockwise. If the tone arm moves

down: Turn the counter clockwise
06. Put the tone arm back onto the arm rest and

lock it.
07. The counterweight has a rotary ring with a

scale. Without turning the counterweight, only turn

the ring until the zero “0” aligns with the indicator

line.
08. The scale indicates the stylus pressure in

Fig. 9

grams. Adjust the stylus pressure and the antiskat-

ing indicated to the corresponding specifications.

Be extremely careful not to damage the stylus

of the cartridge!

Note: The correct tracking force depends on the

cartridge used. Please consult the manual of your

cartridge.

The damping ring (Fig. 9) in the middle of the

tonearm tube must not be moved. It is a res-

onant damper, which is only effective at this

position!
