[. . . ] music hall mmf-5. 1se INSTRUCTION MANUAL music hall http://www. musichallaudio. com august 2007 CONGRATULATIONS ON YOUR PURCHASE You have selected an exceptional turntable. Each component used in the construction of the mmf-5. 1se was selected to provide you with superior performance and the highest level of sound reproduction available today. We know of no turntable that costs as much to produce yet sells for so little. The precise and elegant design of this turntable makes it easy to install and operate. [. . . ] Don't worry about the number on the tracking force scale, you will soon calibrate and set it properly. Once you have balanced the tonearm, return it to the tonearm rest. You are now going to set the ring with numbers on the counterweight to zero. This is called the tracking force scale. The tracking force scale (6a) turns independently of the counterweight. IMPORTANT With your right hand hold the rear part of the counterweight to make sure that it does not move. With your left hand, lightly grip and turn the tracking force scale until the number zero is in the twelve o' clock position (dead center on top of the counterweight). Check it, by once again floating the tonearm between the tonearm rest and the platter. If the tonearm doesn't float parallel to the platter at zero, return to the previous steps and make the necessary adjustments. IMPORTANT Do not touch the tracking force scale again. Turn the counterweight counterclockwise with your right hand. You will notice that the tracking force scale will also turn. Turn it through numbers 5, 10, 15 to the position centered between 17 and 18 on the scale). The correct tracking force has now been set. Every arm and cartridge combination has an optimum tracking force. Increments of 0. 1g can produce significant differences. Once the cartridge has run-in (usually about 24 -50 hours of playing time) feel free to experiment with a slightly higher or lower tracking force and pick the one you prefer. 8 12. You will notice a small fishing line attached to the anti-skating weight (16). Slip the looped end of the fishing line over the antiskating rod (15) and into notch number 2 (See diagram below). Lift the anti-skating weight (16) over the anti-skating hanger (17) and feed the fishing string through the looped end of the anti-skating hanger (17). The anti-skating weight (16) should now be dangling in free space to the left of the hanger. If it is not dangling, simply bend the anti-skating hanger (17) by pushing it away from the tonearm pillar with your finger. 13.
