I had two ZYX cartridges (Fuji and Airy 3) that had the same 'needle out off axis' problem (see pictures above). Now I understand the AS was too high (2.0 on my SME4 corresponding to the requested VTF). Just installed my nex ZYX Atmos/D4 with zero AS, I hope this will avoid the 'out off axis syndrom'.
