Confirming levelness and fine-tuning
In order to confirm the level placement of the turntable, we
recommend using, for example, a commercially-available
turntable leveling device. If the turntable is not level, follow
the procedures below to adjust the heights of the feet to level
the unit.
o If the slant is too great, the following method might not
be able to correct it.

Turn the foot on the low side counter-
clockwise to remove it.
