A properly balanced tonearm has a tracking force
of zero. Therefore, rotate the tracking force scale
ring until “0” is aligned to the index line.
Adjusting the Turntable
Before attempting to play any records, be sure to
complete the following steps to properly adjust the
tonearm balance, tracking force and anti-skating dial.
Failure to complete these adjustments will result in
inferior sound quality and may cause permanent
damage to the stylus and record.
Restrain the counterweight with your other hand so
that it does not rotate along with the scale ring.
Turn this ring so that the
“0“ lines up w ith the index
line.

Make sure the turntable is level.
Set ANTI-SKATING to “0.”
Index line
8
When you use the supplied cartridge, turn the
counterweight counterclockwise one full rotation,
and then continue turning it until the index line
comes to 1. Since one full rotation of the
counterweight yields a tracking force of 3 grams,
this adjustment results in a tracking force of
4 grams, which is the normal requirement for the
supplied cartridge.

You can set a tracking force of 3 to 7 grams.
Turn the counterw eight
counterclockw ise one full
rotation, and then a little
more until the index line
is aligned to 1.

Set the cueing lever to the down position.
When optionally available cartridge is used
The tracking force scale ring is marked in 0.1-gram
units. One full rotation yields a tracking force of
3 grams.

5
Turn up the protective cover to expose the stylus,
and move the tonearm to the space between the
arm stand and the platter.
9
Set ANTI-SKATING to the same value as the
tracking force scale ring.
The numbers on the ANTI-SKATING dial indicate
the number of grams in tracking force.
Take care not to damage the stylus.
Balance the tonearm by turning the counterweight
either clockwise or counterclockwise.
When the tonearm is properly balanced
It will remain level with the platter when released.
It should not tilt in the direction of either the headshell
or the counterweight.

If you want to change the pitch, press the
QUARTZ lock button (the QUARTZ indicator will
turn off). Then adjust the pitch by moving the
PITCH ADJ. knob.
The distance from the center position to the
farthest point on the scale represents a change of
10% in the pitch. You can also use the
PITCH BEND + and – buttons to change the pitch
(see “Using the PITCH BEND + and – buttons” on
page 8).

Before playing a record, be sure the PHONO/ LINE
switch on the mixer is set to PHONO.

If you wish, you can return to normal speed
(33 1/ 3 or 45 rpm) while the PITCH ADJ. knob is

(the QUARTZ indicator will turn on).
Press the QUARTZ lock button again to go back to
the previous pitch setting (the QUARTZ indicator
will turn off).
Note
Place only one record on the platter at a time. If two or
more records are stacked on the platter, the stylus will
not make proper contact with the grooves and the
quality of reproduction will be impaired.
Note
The PITCH ADJ. knob does not function while the
QUARTZ lock is on (i.e., while the QUARTZ indicator is
on).

Turn the POWER switch to ON.
The strobo lamp, the QUARTZ lock indicator, and

Maintenance
Stylus and Record Care
To prevent premature stylus and record wear, clean
the stylus and record before the start of play.
3
Grasp the stylus holder and pull it away from the
body of the cartridge.
Clean the stylus by brushing it from back to front with
a good-quality stylus-cleaning brush. Do not clean the
stylus with your fingertip. If you use a liquid stylus
cleaner, take care not to moisten the stylus excessively.

Insert the new stylus by pushing it into the
cartridge receptacle until it is firmly attached.
Reattach the shell to the tonearm.
Replacing the Cartridge
When it is necessary to replace the cartridge, detach the
headshell from the tonearm and follow the directions
below.
Clean the record by wiping it thoroughly with a good-
quality record cleaner.
1
Remove the screws securing the cartridge to the
headshell.
2
Detach the four wires from the cartridge with a
pair of pinchers.
Cleaning the Shell Terminals
If you notice a drop in sound quality, excessive noise,
or hum, this may be a result of incomplete contact
caused by dust or dirt on the shell terminals. Remove
the shell from the tonearm and wipe the terminals
lightly with a soft cloth, and then reattach the shell to
the tonearm.
Then detach the cartridge completely from the
headshell.
Shell terminals
3
Confirm the polarity of each of the terminal pins
on the new cartridge and connect the wires to
them accordingly.
Cleaning the Turntables and the Mixer
Clean the cabinet and dust cover of the turntables and
the cabinet and panel of the mixer periodically with a
soft dry cloth. Moisten the cloth with a mild detergent
solution to clean difficult-to-remove stains. Do not use
solvents such as alcohol, benzine or thinner, as this will
damage the finish.
The polarity of the wires on the supplied headshell
are as follows:
Red:
Right channel
White: Left channel
Green: Right channel earth
Blue:
Left channel earth
Replacing the Stylus
Make sure not to connect the wires to the wrong
polarities.
The life expectancy of the stylus tip is about 500 hours.
To maintain optimum sound quality and prevent
damage to your records, we recommend replacing the
stylus before the end of this time duration.
Obtain a replacement stylus (D5107AL) from your
Sony dealer.

Overhang Adjustment
Troubleshooting
The arm overhang is factory adjusted.
After replacing the cartridge, however, you should
adjust the overhang as follows:
Before referring to the check list below, first verify that:
• The power cord is securely connected.
• The speaker cords are securely connected.
1
Loosen the screws of cartridge as shown below.
Should any problem persist after taking the specified
remedial actions, consult your nearest Sony dealer.
The tonearm skips, skates or fails to advance.
b The turntable is not level. Place the turntable on a
level surface.
b The tracking force is incorrect. Follow the
instructions on page 6 and set the tracking force to
the appropriate value for the cartridge being used.
(The supplied cartridge requires 4 grams of tracking
force.)
2
Slide the cartridge backward or forward until the
distance between the stylus and the spindle is
15 mm (3/ 4 inches).
b The anti-skating adjustment is incorrect. Make sure
the ANTI-SKATING dial is set to the value indicated
on the tracking force ring (see page 6).
b The record is dirty or scratched.

Clean the record with a commercially available
record cleaning kit, or replace the record.

Make sure to retighten the screws after completing
the adjustment.
Poor sound quality, excessive noise, intermittent sound,
etc…
b Inspect the locking ring on the tonearm and verify
that the headshell is firmly secured (see page 4).
b Make sure the ground wire is connected to U
(ground) terminal on the mixer (see page 5).
b The tracking force is incorrect. Follow the
instructions on page 6 to set the tracking force to the
appropriate value for the cartridge being used. (The
supplied cartridge requires 4 grams of tracking force.)
b The stylus is dirty or worn. Remove dust on the
stylus with a stylus-cleaning brush, or replace the
worn stylus (see page 9).
Replacing the crossfader in the mixer
If the crossfader knob on the mixer makes a noise
when you are moving it, you should replace the
crossfader as follows:
1
Pull up the fader knob, unscrew the exterior
screws on the fader plate, and remove the fader
knob.
