Adjusting tonearm height

The counterweight is attached to the rear end of the tone-
arm by some slight pressure and a clockwise rotation to-
wards the tonearm's bearings (Fig. 3).
ATTENTION: Great care is necessary for the fol-
lowing mounting and adjust-ment procedures,
because the slightest mistake may damage the
stylus and cantilever of your pickup cartridge.
Carefully detach the stylus guard from the cartridge. Low-
er the lift lever and move the tonearm to a position in be-
tween tonearm rest and the outer rim of the platter. Now
balance the tonearm by rotating the counterweight either
clockwise or counter-clock-wise until total equilibrium has
been achieved. Hint: anti-skating force as well as tracking
force (unless it is generated by the counterweight like with
the TP 250) must in any case be set to "0".
Put an old, worn record onto the platter and lower the
tonearm by the lift lever. The tonearm tube should then be
parallel to the record (to be visualised from the side). If this
is not the case the so-called Vertical Tracking Angle (VTA)
should be adjusted.
A special clamp mechanism (Fig. 3) however allows to
individually adjust the VTA according to the size of the
mounted pickup cartridge. Adjustments are made by
simply loosening the screw of the clamp mechanism and
carefully sliding the entire tonearm slightly up or down. Be-
fore doing so we advise to move the tonearm back onto
its rest. After the correct position for the VTA has been
found the clamp screw is to be tightened again.
