Adjusting the counterweight and stylus pressure on the Crosley K200A-BK turntable is an important step to ensure optimal sound quality and prevent damage to your records. Here is a step-by-step guide on how to adjust these settings:
1. Remove the stylus protector from the cartridge and avoid touching the stylus tip during the adjustment.
2. Release the tonearm Hold Down Clip, gently hold the tonearm, and move it away from the Tonearm Rest. At this point, the tonearm is unbalanced and free to swing.
3. While gently holding the tonearm, carefully rotate the Counterweight towards the front of the turntable until the tonearm is horizontally balanced and hovers freely just above the platter without the stylus touching the platter surface.
4. Return the tonearm to the Tonearm Rest and lock the Hold Down Clip.
5. While holding the counterweight steady without any rotation, rotate carefully only the Downforce Scale Dial until the "0" on the scale lines up with the centerline marked along the top of the tonearm.
6. Rotate the counterweight including the downforce scale dial counter-clockwise (as seen from the front of the turntable) until the scale shows the recommended pressure value for the stylus. The recommended pressure for the factory-installed cartridge is 3.5+0.5g.
By following these steps, you can properly adjust the counterweight and stylus pressure on the Crosley K200A-BK turntable. Remember to handle the tonearm and stylus with care to avoid any damage.
