point (120.9mm) once you have managed to get the �inner� zero-point (66.08mm) right. The armwand set screw (e) should be tightened now, making shure that the headshell mounting plate as seen from the front remains parallel to the platter surface. Sliding the armwand back or forth alters the tracking force. Slide the counterweight until the recommended tracking force has been set and lock it in place by tightening the counterweight set screw (d) If you find the overhang to be off by just a �hair� you might want to try turning the armbase ever so slightly until the diamond is spot on (then tighten the tonearm mounting screw (a) really well. Next, check the tangency of the cantilever as seen from above � with the stylus not quite touching the alignment gauge - and if neccessary turn the headshell mounting plate after loosening screw (c) in the right direction. Finally, tighten screw (c) again. 4.4) VTA-Adjustment As a starting point you should raise or lower the tonearmblock until the armwand appears to be parallel to the record surface with the needle in the groove. Just unscrew the VTA-set screw(f) une full turn, insert a 3mm Allen key into the center hole and turn the(hidden) VTA-adjustment screw (g) clockwise to lower the arm or counterclockwise to raise the arm (make shure that the Allen key caught the screw). Don�t forget to tighten the VTA-set screw(f) again. This adjustment is NOT to be carried out during play! 4.5) Antiskating To compensate for the skating force turn the antiskating-adjustment-disc (h) counterclockwise to increase force and clockwise to reduce it. A good compromise will be achieved once mistracking occurs in both channels simultaneously while playing the tracking ability test tracks on the ORTOFON test record (0002 or 0003). In case you have no access to any such test record just put the diamond on the space between the leadout grooves (or a �blank�record, i.e. Cardas sweeper record) and adjust antiskating until the arm/cartridge combo wanders slowly towards the center of the record. From then on, use your ears... 4.6) Adjusting the gap between the magnets With a decent light source placed behind your record player it is easy to make out (and control) the gap between the magnets which facilitates friction-free movement of the tonearm. The distance between the magnets determines the effectiveness of damping both tonearm/cartridge resonance and �parasitic� energy, generated by the cartridge or the turntable. The smaller the gap the higher the damping and vice versa. The gap between the magnets is altered by first inserting a 1.5mm Allen key into set screw (i) , sitting in the middle of disc (h). You then hold the Allen key steady while turning the disc clockwise to widen the gap or counterclockwise to close it.
