Скачать или смотреть Adjusting tonearm balance and tracking force on a DUAL 1009 or 1019 turntable

This video shows the basic steps required to set up the tonearm on a DUAL 1000-series turntable. The steps are:
1) Level the turntable platter using a spirit level and an old record
2) If not already fitted, install the cartridge and stylus.
3) Set the tracking force dial to zero
4) Protect the stylus/record from accidental damage by using the stylus guard, if fitted.
5) Insert the counterweight in the rear opening of the tonearm but do not tighten the counterweight clamp screw initially.
6) Un-clip the tonearm from its rest and position the headshell between the rest and the record
7) Move the counterweight on its shaft toward the headshell if the tonearm tube angles up toward the headshell (headshell too high/light), or away from the headshell if the tonearm tube angles down toward the headshell (headshell too low/heavy).
8) When the tonearm tube is more or less parallel to the surface of the record, gently tighten the counterweight clamp screw.
9) To finely balance the tonearm, rotate the counterweight clockwise (viewed from the rear of the turntable) to lower the headshell or counterclockwise to raise the headshell.
10) When the headshell is close to being level, remove the stylus guard and, while making sure you have hold of the finger-lift on the side of the head-shell to stop accidentally dropping the stylus onto the record, position the stylus over the lead-in part of the record (the outer part of the groove).
11) Gently release the finger lift and look to see whether the stylus is close to, but not touching, the record surface. Clearance of around 1/8 inch from the stylus to the record is usually about right, but this will vary with different cartridges. If you need the stylus to move slightly closer to the record, turn the counterweight clockwise just a touch - or counterclockwise if you need to raise the stylus slightly. Caution! Small movements of the counterweight cause big changes in stylus height, so check the stylus constantly and ALWAYS hold the stylus clear of the record (using the finger lift) when adjusting the counterweight!!!.
12) When you are happy with the height of the stylus and see that the tonearm tube is parallel to the surface of the record, replace the tonearm back on its rest and lock it in place.
13) Using the vertical rotary dial on the tonearm pivot assembly, reading from the front of the turntable, adjust until the desired tracking weight (in grams) appears behind the red indicator line. The correct weight will be determined by the make and model of cartridge you are using. For the Shure V15-II used in this video, I set weight to between 1.75 and 2 grams.
14) Other than adjusting the lateral bias (if fitted, e.g. on the DUAL 1019, but not fitted on early 1009 models), you are ready to connect and enjoy your turntable!
