In looking at the mmf-5.1 instructions, the only thing odd is that they say to use a clockwise turn to remove the anti-skating post with the three notches that the weight loop attaches to, so that post may have a reverse thread.
"Azimuth Adjustment: Azimuth is the angle of the stylus to the record groove. Viewed from head-on, you want the stylus to be perpendicular to the record groove so as to not favor one channel over the other. Keep in mind that azimuth is properly set at the factory and rarely needs to be adjusted. You can check the azimuth by performing a visual inspection. Place the tonearm (9) in the middle of a non-spinning record and look to see that the stylus is perpendicular to the record groove. If it is off to one side or the other, you will need to adjust the azimuth. To adjust azimuth, simply loosen the setscrew located on the top of the tonearm (9) under the anti-skating rod (15). To adjust the setscrew, you will need to first remove the anti-skating rod (15). Start with the tonearm (9) in the tonearm rest (
. Remove the anti-skating weight (16) from the anti-skating rod (15). Hold the anti-skating rod (15) between your thumb and forefinger and unscrew it using a clockwise rotation. Lift the tonearm (9) up about 2 ? 3 inches out of the tonearm rest (
. Look carefully on top of the tonearm (9) near the area previously occupied by the anti-skating rod (15). You will see a small setscrew. Slightly loosen this screw. This will loosen the tonearm (9) and allow you to twist it from side to side. Position the tonearm (9) so that the stylus is perpendicular to the record groove. Tighten the setscrew. Replace the anti-skating rod (15) and anti-skating weight (16). Listen. You are listening for a balanced soundstage with the greatest area and depth. You may need to go back and forth a couple of times to achieve the best setting. Please note that small changes in azimuth make a big difference in the sound."
