Guide of actual size
1. Print this guide at actual size, adjusting the printer settings if necessary.
2. Cut a hole in the guide for the turntable's spindle, following the dotted line in the illustration above.
3. Place the guide on the spindle.
4. Loosen the headshell mounting screws just enough so the cartridge can be repositioned, then place the cartridge
stylus over the guide's inner black dot, located 66.2 mm from the spindle at the intersection of lines A and B.
・Do not bring the cartridge stylus into contact with the paper.
5. While keeping the stylus centered over the dot, position the cartridge within the headshell so that the sides of the
cartridge are parallel with the A lines and its front is parallel with the B lines.
6. Next, place the stylus over the guide's outer black dot, located 122.4 mm from the spindle. The sides of the cartridge
should be parallel with the C lines and its front parallel with the B lines, as show in the "Perfect overhang setting"
diagram. If the setting is correct, tighten the headshell screws until snug.
・If the cartridge is not properly aligned at the outer black dot, make the necessary adjustments then repeat steps
4 - 6 until the overhang is consistent at both dots.
