Anti-Skate Adjustments:
46. Viewing the turntable from the front, take the anti-skate string attached weight
and place the loop over the notched bar attached to the left of the arm pivot.
Position the loop in the notch nearest to the front of the arm.
47. Hang the string over the adjacent notched bar with the string in the notch
nearest to the front of the tonearm.
The anti-skate string should always be placed in the corresponding notched
positions on the two notched bars. The farther toward the rear of the tonearm
the string is set, the more anti-skate compensation you will have.
48. Make sure that the string and weight are hanging freely and are not obstructed
nor obstructing free movement elsewhere. You can now adjust the degree of
anti-skate compensations for your choice of cartridge.
49. For correct operation the height of the two notched bars should be
approximately the same. The notched bar attached to the arm base assembly
can be adjusted in height by loosening an Allen screw at its base and then re-
positioning the height of the bar.
In the interest of simplicity of operation we have provided the following table
of approximate anti-skate values. Please note that these are nominal values and
the exact anti-skate setting selected can vary from these general
recommendations. Due to extremely low friction offered by the unipivot
design, the amount of anti-skate compensation needed for your particular
cartridge may be less than would be neccessary with another tonearm.
Where it is necessary to choose between two settings that both seem
to work, the lower setting will generally produce better sound.
