5. Set the platter rotation speed (33/45/78) to match that of the record.
• To set the platter speed for 78 RPM, press both the 33 and 45 RPM buttons simultaneously.
Playing a record
Lower the volume of the amplifier, speakers, etc. sufficiently.
1. Press one of the start/stop button.
• The platter begins to rotate.
2. Raise the tonearm by lifting the tonearm lift control lever to the UP position.
3. Position the tonearm over the desired location (groove) on the record.
4. Lower the tonearm by moving the tonearm lift control lever to the DOWN position. The tonearm descends slowly onto the record and play begins.
• Alternatively, you can skip steps 2 to 4, and use your fingers to lift the headshell, move the tonearm over the desired location on the record, and then place the headshell down to
begin playing the record.
• Do not subject the product to strong impact during playback.
Setting pitch
1. Press the quartz button to turn the pitch function off.
• The internal quartz lock holds the platter at the precise rated speed (0 % pitch), regardless of the pitch slider position and speed range control settings when the quartz button is on.
2. Use the pitch adjust slide control in conjunction with the pitch buttons to vary the platter’s rotational speed by as much as +/- 50%.
• When the pitch adjust slide control is in the center detent position, the quartz lock is active.
Measuring pitch
Four rows of strobe dots on the platter edge are designed to measure and verify the platter speed (pitch). Confirm the moves of strobe dots illuminated by the stroboscopic light located
under the power dial. When the corresponding row of strobe dots appears to be stationary, the turntable will be at the operating speed percentage indicated below. 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.
