VTF stands for Vertical Tracking Force. It's the amount of weight that the cartridge sits on the record. It's important to get this correct because if it is not correct you can ruin your records, your needle or both. See the link below for a Shure Gauge. Each cartridge has a specific range that it must be set too. Order the Shure gauge, find out what the tracking force is for your cartridge and use the gauge to make sure it is correct. I wouldn't play any records until you set this correctly.

Hope this helps.
