Very good info on VTA here (be sure to read Risch's followup post for correction of a critical typo):

The Fremer video is good, especially since he demonstrates setup with a VPI arm. He shows rough azimuth adjustment and also adjustment with some special tools. But the video was done before the Fozgometer was invented, which seems like it's much easier to use.
Also google "sra vta fremer" for some additional facts/discussions. You probably won't go too far wrong just listening with the tonearm parallel to the record, at least to start. That's what most cart manufacturers suggest. But eventually, you'll want to set VTA/SRA by ear, as suggested above.
