Tracking force adjustment:

Ensure that the tracking force adjustment knob is set to the zero position.

With the cartridge permanently fitted in the correct position adjust the main balance weight so that the arm is "floating" with the stylus 1mm clear of the record. This adjustment should be made with the antiskating knob to zero.

Rotate the tracking force knob to the specified tracking force given by the cartridge manufacturer. Mostly the best result are achieved by using the upper value of the given range.
