Turntable Installation:
1. Do not place the unit in a location where it will be exposed to direct sunlight or near any type of heating appliance.
2. Do not place the unit in a location where there is high humidity or a lot of dust.
3. Cartridge may pick up slight sound pressure or vibrations of nearby speakers. For best results, do not install this unit
too close to speakers.
4. Install this unit on a horizontal surface that is stable and vibration free.
5. The rubber feet have been specially designed to isolate the unit from excess vibration. The feet may also be used to
stabilize the main body horizontally. Adjust the height of the unit by turning the feet in a clockwise or counter-
clockwise direction.
Tonearm Balance and Stylus Pressure:
Adjustment of horizontal zero balance and stylus pressure:
1. Remove the stylus protective cover, if so equipped. Never touch the stylus tip during the adjustment.
2. Lower the TONEARM LEVER.
3. Release the tonearm clamp and release the tonearm from the arm rest.
4. Set the ANTI-SKATE adjustment to zero.
5. Rotate the COUNTERWEIGHT in either direction until the TONEARM is perfectly balanced horizontally (floats freely).
6. Return the TONEARM to the arm rest and lock it in place.
7. Hold the COUNTERWEIGHT stationary with one hand and rotate only the stylus-pressure ring to bring the number “0”
of the ring into alignment with the center line on the tonearm rear shaft.
8. Rotate the COUNTERWEIGHT counterclockwise until the scale value corresponding to the recommended stylus pressure.
Note: The recommended stylus pressure of the optional cartridge that may have been included with your unit is 2 grams.
For all other cartridge systems please refer to the manufactures specification included with the cartridge.
Anti-Skate:
The anti-skate adjustment prevents the TONEARM ASSEMBLY from skipping across the record from the centrifugal force
that is caused spinning rotation of the PLATTER. The ANTI-SKATING control knob should be set to the same value as the
stylus pressure. For example if your COUNTERWEIGHT is set to 2.5 grams the ANTI-SKATE value should also be set to 2.5.
Turntable Quick-Start:
1. Changing Platter Speed
Use the RPM selectors to change the platter speeds. The 33-rpm and 45-rpm speed selectors change the platter
rotation respectively.
2. Starting and Stopping the Platter
Use the START/STOP BUTTON to switch back and forth between platter rotation and pause modes.
3. Pitch Control
(1) The pitch adjustment is a fine adjustment to the platter's RPMs.
(2) The pitch adjustment is variable and may be adjusted between -10% and +10% of the platter-selected speed.
(3) The pitch is changed by sliding the Pitch Slider in an up and down motion.
(4) The STROBE INDICATORS on the rim of the PLATTER can be used to visual approximate the platter pitch. These
indicators are lit by the STROBE INDICATOR PILOT LAMP as they pass by the POWER SWITCH. At different pitch
levels each row of STROBE INDICATORS may appear stand still.
Note: The use of heavy fluorescent lighting directly above the turntable will defeat the STROBE PILOT LAMP affect
indicator accuracy.
