Preparatory Adjustments; Horizontal Balance - Onkyo CP-1050 Instruction Manual

Preparatory adjustments

Handling the stylus
The tip of the stylus is extremely delicate. Be careful
not to break or bend the stylus when removing the
stylus cover. If the stylus tip is damaged, promptly
replace it with a new stylus. If a damaged stylus is
used, it will result in damage to the record.

1. Horizontal balance

The horizontal balance of the tone arm needs to be
adjusted first in order to ensure that an appropriate stylus
pressure is applied on the record. Carry out the
adjustment with the power turned off.
1. Set the anti-skating knob to "0".
2. Remove the translucent stylus cover, taking care not to
damage the stylus.

Ensure that the tone arm is balanced, so that the end of the tone
arm is neither too high nor too low.
