Changing the Speed
As long as the pitch control (12) is in center click position, the turntable is operated at quartz controlled rated speed.
The LED display (8) to the left of the Pitch Control Slider (12) will be lit up green.
The speed can be increased or decreased by 10% by the Pitch Control Slider (12). When the slider is moved the LED
(8) will then turn red. If the change of speed does not correspond to the pitch control change, it is possible to correct
with the Trim Control (18). Place a screw driver in the hole where the Trim Control (18) is located. Move the screw
driver left for slower and right for faster (approx. +/-2%).
An incorrect adjustment done on purpose can also be used to have the turntable rotate extremely slow or fast.
The strobe dots (5) at the edge of the turntable are used for speed monitoring.
Remote Control Start/Stop (21)
The Start/Stop function can remotely be controlled by a separate switch via a mixing console with a “Fader Start”
function. Activated the “Fader Start” on the mixing console and the turntable automatically begins Start/Stop.
Future American DJ mixers will be equipped with the “Fader Start” function. (1/4” connection)
Beat Indicator (22)
The Beat output sends a mono pulse signal and may be used with a separate beat analyzer. (RCA connection)
Maintenance
Clean the stylus periodically with a soft brush to prevent the accumulation of dust.
When sound becomes distorted or noisy, check the stylus. If the stylus is worn out, replace it with a new one.
From time to time, the dust cover and turntable cabinet should be wiped down with a soft, dry cloth.
Volatile materials should not be used, such as: alcohol, thinner, benzine etc. They may remove the paint or
damage the luster.
