Install a cartridge
JS-TB297 tonearm is specially equipped with a protractor to set the
cartridge. As shown as the figure below:
Step 1: first, put the protractor into the central pillar of the turntable, and
rotate the protractor until the line "pointing to the arm pivot" is
aligned with the arm pivot center.
Step 2: install the cartridge and connect the four cartridge cords according to
the corresponding color. Red and green are the right channel, white
and blue are the left. Then install the cartridge on the headshell of
the tonearm. Before adjusting the azimuth angle of the cartridge, be
sure to set the tracking force to about 1.5g, so as to prevent the
stylus from being damaged due to excessive pressure.
Step 3: move the cartridge back and forth until the tip of the stylus moves
precisely along the "stylus Path" from the outside to the inside.

that the bottom edge of the cartridge is parallel to the protractor
surface, and the two sides are parallel to the vertical line of the null
point matrix.

make the tonearm tube parallel to the protractor surface.
Step 6: Calibrate the stylus tracking force again according to the specification
of the cartridge！
