Operation
For best results, do not install or operate this unit near
conditions of heat, moisture, dust, or heavy vibrations.
(Note: Bright fluorescent lights may affect the visibility of the
speed-indicating strobe dots. If this is a problem, simply cover
the area with your hand, an album cover, etc.)
Preparing to Play
1. Remove the stylus guard from the stylus assembly and
unlock the tone arm rest if it is locked.
2. Turn the power dial to the ON position. The speed
selector and strobe illuminator will light up.
3. If desired, push the stylus target light button to raise and
turn on the light for illumination of the stylus tip position
on the record.
4. Place a record on the slip mat, lining up its center hole
with the center spindle. For 45 RPM records, place the
45 RPM adapter on the center spindle before placing the
record on the platter.
5. Set the platter rotation speed (33/45/78) to match that of
the record. (Note: To set the platter speed for 78 RPM,
push both the 33 and 45 RPM buttons simultaneously.)
Playing the Record
1. Press the start/stop button; the platter begins to rotate.
2. Raise the tone arm by lifting the tone arm lift control
lever to the UP position.
3. Position the tone arm over the desired location (groove) on
the record.
4. Lower the tone arm by moving the tone arm lift control
lever to the DOWN position. The tone arm descends
slowly onto the record and play begins.

Use the finger-lift on the headshell assembly to position
the tone arm over the desired location on the record.
Carefully lower the tone arm to the record surface.
Checking and Adjusting Pitch
1. If desired, select a +/– 10% or +/– 20% pitch adjustment
range by pressing the pitch button. Then move the
pitch adjust slide control up or down to make pitch
adjustments. (Note: The pitch adjust slide control has
center detent position for 0% pitch variation.)
2. As illuminated by the red light coming from beneath the
power dial, observe the strobe dots on the edge of the
platter. If the appropriate row of strobe dots appears to be
stationary, the platter is moving at the precise rated speed.
If the dots appear to be moving to the right, the platter is
moving below rated speed; if they appear to be moving to
the left, the platter is moving above rated speed.
3. If the quartz speed lock button is pressed, the internal
quartz lock will hold the platter at precise rated speed
regardless of the position of the pitch adjust slide control.
(Note: The LED indicator to the left of the pitch adjust
slide control’s center position will illuminate GREEN when
the quartz lock is active and RED when variable pitch is
active.)
4. If desired, press the direction button to reverse the
rotation of the platter. The appropriate direction LED will
illuminate.
Suspending or Ending Play

2. When play is finished, raise the cueing lever, move the
tone arm to the rest position and secure the tone arm with
the tone arm locking clamp.
3. If using the stylus target light, turn it off by pushing the
light down.

the platter rotation.
