Pioneer PL-12D User Manual

HOW TO OPERATE THE TURNTABLE
1. Put the record to be played on the turntable.
2. Remove the stylus cover.
3. Set the function lever to position ON/UP. The turntable
begins to rotate.
4. Set the speed selector at the correct position: 33 or 45rpm.
5. Take the tonearm off its rest and move it over the initial
record grooves, or the section from which you want to
play the record.
6. Set the function lever to position DOWN. Playing begins.
7. At the end of the record, move the function lever to positi-
on OFF. The tonearm will lift from the record and can then
be returned manually to its rest position.
IMPORTANT! OBSERVE CAREFULLY
1. Never touch the speed selector lever unless the turntable
is rotating. The speed can be changed only while the turn-
table is rotating.
2. Never obstruct the turntable by hand while it is rotating.
This may cause damage.
3. Always keep the stylus clean. Remove dust with a soft
brush.
4. Always keep your records scrupulously clean, too. Clean
them with a commercially available record cleaner or cloth.
5. Never touch the stylus with your finger. Hands off.
