-6-
ARM-LIFT HEIGHT ADJUSTMENT:
If the pre-adjusted distance that the CUE LEVER (19) raises the stylus
off the record surface is inadequate, it can be adjusted by turning the
ARM-LIFT HEIGHT ADJUSTMENT SCREW (28) while simultaneously
pushing down on the TONE ARM (6). Clockwise rotation of the screw
will decrease the distance and counter-clockwise rotation will
increase the distance.
BRAKE AND TORQUE CONTROLS:
The adjustable BRAKE BUTTON (38) allows you to vary the speed at
which the PLATTER slows down to a stop. You can adjust the length
of slowing down by turning the BRAKE BUTTON (38) clockwise or
counter-clockwise. You can then press the button in to keep it held in
that position. Press it again and it will pop up, so you can adjust it
again.
The adjustable TORQUE BUTTON (39) allows you to vary the speed at
which the PLATTER speeds up. You can adjust the length of
speeding up by turning the TORQUE BUTTON (39) clockwise or
counter-clockwise. You can then press the button in to keep it held in
that position. Press it again and it will pop up, so you can adjust it
again.
OUTPUT JACKS:
The PHONO/LINE OUTPUT JACKS (40) are RCA type jacks. They can
be assigned as LINE output or PHONO output by using the PHONO/
LINE SWITCH (41). The DIGITAL OUTPUT JACK (42) allows you to
connect the PDT-6000 turntable to a mixer, recorder, etc. that accepts
a digital signal.
