2. PLATTER: The platter is equipped with a slip mat. This makes it easier to manipulate the record for
scratch performances.
3. MOTOR OFF BUTTON: Normally the platter stops while you press the start/stop button (1). In this case
the platter stops quite fast due to the electronic brake. Press the "motor off" button if you want the
platter to slow down more smoothly. As long as the motor is switched off, the led of the button flashes.
Press the button again to switch the motor back on.
4. TARGET LIGHT: White led target light used to locate the exact place on your record when used in a
dark place.
5. SPEED SELECT BUTTONS: Used to select the desired speed.

Press the "33" button to select the 33rpm speed.

Press the "45" button to select the 45rpm speed.

Press "33" and "45" buttons simultaneously to select the 78rpm speed.
6. REVERSE BUTTON: Press this button to reverse the platter rotation, press this button again to end the
reverse mode.
7. PITCH RANGE BUTTON: Press this button to adjust the range of the pitch slider.

8. QUARTZ LOCK BUTTON: When the QUARTZ Button is pressed, the exact center speed (0%) is
enforced, even when the pitch slider is not in the middle. The blue led in the center of the pitch slider (9)
will be lit.
9. PITCH SLIDER: Use the pitch slider to change the actual speed of the platter. The Range depends on
the Pitch Range button (7). When the slider is in its middle position, the blue led next to the pitch slider
will turn on to indicate that the turntable is locked to the exact center speed. Attention: take care that
the Quartz lock button (8) is switched off.

13. PHONO/LINE SWITCH: Depending on the position of the
phono/line switch, you can connect the turntable to any phono or
line level input.
14. PHONO/LINE OUTPUT: Connect the turntable to any phono or
line level input, using the supplied cinch/cinch cable. Be sure to
put the phono/line switch (13) in the right position.
15. TONE ARM: This is a fully manual S-shaped tone arm. To start
playback, gently place the stylus on the record using the head shell finger support. Do not drop the
stylus onto the record as this may cause damage to the diamond tip and to the record.
16. COUNTERWEIGHT: Use the counterweight to balance the tone arm and to adjust the stylus pressure.
For the correct stylus pressure, please refer to the user manual of your cartridge.
Setting up the stylus pressure:
Make sure the cartridge is well fitted and its
needle protector is removed. Put a record on
the platter and make sure the anti-skate is
set to zero. Put the tone arm lever in "down"
position. Take the tone arm and turn the
counter- weight until the tone arm is in
perfect balance  It floats horizontally
above the record surface, see "OK" picture
at the right. Now set the "stylus pressure
ring" (front section of the counterweight with
markings) to zero by turning the ring while
you take care that the counterweight doesn't
move. Next, turn the complete counterweight
clockwise until the "stylus pressure ring" indicates the correct needle pressure. Don't forget to put
the anti-skate back in place.
17. ANTI-SKATE KNOB: When a record is playing, side forces are generated, pushing the stylus towards
the center or the outside of the record. You can use the anti-skate knob to offset this force and keep the
needle centered in the groove. For standard playback simply turn the anti-skate knob to the same
number as the stylus pressure reads in grams. (Stylus pressure = 3gr.  anti-skate = 3)
18. TONE ARM LIFT: Controls the up and down action of the tone arm.
19. TONE ARM CLAMP & REST: Use this rest for the tone arm while changing a record. Attach the tone
arm to the rest using the clamp when the turntable is not used or when it is transported. This prevents
the tone arm from accidentally turning towards the platter and damaging the needle of the cartridge.
20. HEAD SHELL LOCKING NUT: Attach the head
shell by inserting it into the front end of the tone
arm and then turn the locking nut clockwise.
21. HEAD SHELL: Install the cartridge here. When
installing a cartridge, refer to the installation
instructions supplied by the manufacturer of that
cartridge. During installation, attach the stylus protector to guard the stylus tip from damage.
Attach wires as follows:
White (L+) Left channel +
Blue (L-) Left channel -
Red (R+) Right channel +
Green (R-) Right channel -
