VTA adjustment on technics

[kusum65]

Can anyone tell me the correct way to set VTA on my technics 1200. Am i supposed to be looking at the tonearm to see if it is parallel to the platter or am i looking at a straight edge on the underside of the cartridge? Thanks.

Arm parallel to record surface when playing.

Here are the instructions
