    LINN BASIK LV-V

    set-up manual
    IMPORTANT CAUTION NOTES
    ==========================

    The bearings used in the LV-V are of very high quality and are precisely adjusted. Care
    should be taken to insure that no unnecessary forces are applied to the bearings that might
    adversely affect the ir adjustment. We have detailed in the notes below some precautions
    that should be followed.

    CAUTION NOTE l

    To derive the best possible performance from this arm, it is necessary that the cartridge
    be mounted as firmly as possible to the headshell. This requires that a considerable
    amount of force be applied to the cartridge mounting screws. If this force is applied while
    the arm is mounted on the turntable, some of this force will be transmitted through the
    arm to the bearings and adversely affect their adjustment. To avoid this problem, after
    you have loosely mounted the cartridge end completed the alignments REMOVE THE
    DETACHABLE HEADSHELL FROM THE ARM, and then fully lighten the cartridge
    mounting screws. This eliminates the possibility of undue force being applied to the
    arm bearings.

    CAUTION NOTE 2

    Never ship a turntable with the arm mounted on it. Always remove the arm and place it in
    its original packing. For short distances; i.e., transporting it across town in your car, you
    may leave the arm on the turntable. But be sure to remove 'the counterweight!

    ARM MOUNTING INSTRUCTIONS

    Note: These instructions are based on the assumption that the arm is being mounted on a
    Linn bonded LP12 turntable.

    l) Mount the arm base on an armboard that has been cut as per the template on the last
    page of this manual.

    NOTE: lf you are using an armboard drilled for the Linn Ittok LV-II tonearm you will
    have to drill a new set of three mounting boll holes, rotated 60 degrees from the original
    holes, per the template. You will also have to use the button head socket screw, washer
    and nut provided with the LV-V to fill the armrest hole for the LV-l1, since the LV-V
    does not use this hole. Precut boards are available from Audiophile Systems.

    The arm base should be positioned on the arm board with the "Linn Basik'' logo facing
    the rear of the board and the height locking screw towards the right. The base is attached
    to the armboard by three socket head cap screws and their associated lock washers. All
    three bolts should be lightened firmly with the allen wrench supplied. Tighten the bolts
    until the lock washers just begin to sink into the wood of the armboard.

    2) Attach the armboard to the turntable. Use only two screws for now. The screw closest
    to the arm will be installed when the arm cable grounding is accomplished.

    3) Mount the cartridge LOOSELY in the headshell. Under no circumstances should nylon
    mounting hardware be used. DO NOT FULLY TIGHTEN THE SCREWS AT THIS
    TIME.

    4) Place the arm mounting template over the turntable spindle. Insert the arm through the
    hole provided in the template and into the arm base. Engage the arm height locking screw
    in the receiver slot and tighten the locking screw sufficiently to hold the arm in position.

    5) Fit the counterweight to the rear of the arm. Place the counterweight in the position
    that balances the army and set the vernier ring to '0'. Apply the appropriate tracking force
    by rotating the counterweight until the vender lines up at the desired figure. (The
    appropriate tracking force for the cartridge supplied with the LV-V is 1.7-2.0 grams-)

    6) Using the templates set the cartridge overhang. Tighten the cartridge mounting screws
    finger tight. DO NOT TIGHTEN THEM FULLY WHILE THE HEADSHELL IS
    MOUNTED ON THE ARM:

    7) Remove the headshell from the arm, and fully tighten the cartridge mounting screws.

    8) Replace headstall on the arm. It is important that the locking collar for the headshe ll be
    tightened very tight, not just snug. Check the tracking force adjustment to make sure it is
    still correct, the counterweight may have shifted. Also check the position of the cartridge
    against the template to make sure that the cartridge did not shift while you were
    tightening it. Remove the template. Replace the arm, again tightening the height locking
    screw sufficiently to hold the arm in position.

    9) Adjust the height of the arm so that the arm tube is parallel to the record. Tighten the
    height locking screw, gripping the alien wrench by the long end and inserting the short
    end into the locking screw.

    10) Place the arm in the armrest. Set the antiskate force to the proper value for the
    tracking force applied.
    11) Complete the set-up of the turntable as per the instructions in the LP12 Technical
    Bulletins; i.e. clamp the arm cable in the P-clip, fit the ground wires to the arm board
    screw closest to the arm, adjust the suspension, etc. In short, go over the entire LP 12 set-
    up check list again.

    12) Check and adjust cueing operation.
