How do you adjust the stylus drop on Denon DP7F?

I've got a Denon DP7F in storage and I'm getting it ready to move on to a friend. It's always had a tendency to drop the needle on the very outside edge of the record. Once in a while it would drop off the record before catching the first groove. I'd like to adjust it "in" a little bit. When I used the TT in the past, I used the "lift" button and manually placed the stylus on the first groove. Anybody know how to adjust the drop? I'd like to try to fix that before moving it along. Thanks.

Is the cueing mechanism silicone damped? If the stylus moves and misses the leading edge,it could be possible that the silicone has leaked...Could be the anti skate is set wrong too...

Don't know about that. I was told once that there is a screw that can be adjusted but I cannot seem to find a reference. Its an automatic TT with no manual cueing mechanism. It has a "lift" button that will lift the tonearm and you can then manually move it over and then hit the lift button again to drop the arm. Or you can simply hit the start button and it automatically starts, which is what I would like it to do properly. Most of the time it hits the outside of the LP, but once in a while it drops off and I don't want to give it to my friend like that if I can do anything about it.

Here is the service procedure for adjusting the DP7F arm lead in position.
