Adjustment

AUTO-RETURN POINT ADJUSTMENT

Auto-return Point ls Slightly Deviated.

1. If stylus leaves the disk after passing the desig-
nated spot, tu m the adjusting screw clockwise.

2. If stylus leaves the disk before reaching the desig-
nated spot, turn the adjusting screw counter-
clockwise.

N.B. Auto-return function is normal when rejection

point is within a range designated on the test record

ES-1008 (NEC).

Auto-return Point ls Largely Deviated.

1. Screw in the adjusting screw midway.

2. Loosen two set-screws on restore lever. Position
the lever so that the distance between the actuat-
ing arm and the tip of restore lever is about 7mm.
Fix the lever only provisionally by lightely tight-
ening the set-screws. Then, make adjustment as
described in phase A above.

3. Secure the set-screws firmly after completing
adjustment.

ADJUSTMENT 0F TONE ARM HEIGHT IN
RETURN ACTION

Tone arm, when returning automatically to rest,
normally points slightly upward (headshell is slight-
ly higher than level). If the inclination of tone arm
is excessive, either upward or downward, follow the
procedures below.

1. Lift the tone arm from its rest and place it on the
top of the elevation arm. Press reject button.
Gently rotate the turntable clockwise by hand,
and the elevation arm will begin to rise gradually.
Stop turning turntable when elevation arm stops
rising.

2. Maintaining this state, rotate the adjusting screw
(Fig. 2) so that distance between stylus tip and
disk surface is about 6mm: turn the screw coun-
terclockwise to raise the position of stylus tip,
and clockwise to lower it.

3. After completing adjustment, gently rotate the
turntable clockwise again to lower the elevation
arm to the original position.

N. B. Distance between stylus tip and record surface

should be within a range from 5 to 10mm. If the

height of stylus tip is inadequate, it may scratch the
record, and if too large, it may not come in contact
with the record.

Ill. SPEED ADJUSTMENT

1. Set the speed control to mid-position.

2. Adjust by turning the potentiometer on the

motor p-c board to obtain the specified speed

(the stroboscopic marks on the rim will stand
still when correct speed is obtained). Use poten-
tiometer VRl for 45 rpm adjustment and VR2

for 331/3 rpm.

Troubleshooting Guide

A. Turntable does not rotate even when tone arm is po-

sitioned over the lead groove.
1. Power switch is faulty.

2. Power cord is faulty.

3. Motor is faulty.

Tone arm does not return to its rest when reject

button is pressed.

1. Movement of actuating arm is incorrect.

2. Return gear (R gear) and turntable gear (TT gear)
are not properly engaged.

a) Mesh between R gear and TT gear is improper.

b) Gear(s) is worn out.
3. Protruded portion of TT gear is worn out.

Tone arm returns to its rest before reaching the end
of play.
1. Restore-lever fitting position is incorrect.

a) Distance between restore lever and actuating
arm is too small (Refer to section I for
proper adjustment.)

N.B. The same symptom may be seen when
the unit is tilted .to the left (as you see the
front of the unit).

Tone arm does not return to its rest at the end of
