Ensure correct AC line voltage selector is used before connecting the AC power cord.
Rotor is connected directly to the turntable platter; avoid external force on spindle to maintain performance.
Select desired speed (33 or 45 RPM); powers the unit and lights the strobo illuminator.
Variable pitch controls adjust speed by 10%; use adjustment screws for fine speed correction.
Use only the provided special oil for lubrication of bearing parts to maintain performance.
Absorb vibration entirely; adjust height and level of the player system by turning legs.
Raise to use; recommended to remove if causing 'Howling'. Clean with provided cloth.
Connect pickup cords to the same channel of the amplifier (R, L, GND).
High-quality universal tonearm with easy operation, durable structure, and automatic stylus pressure control.
Insert head shell into tonearm end, secure with locking nut; connect cartridge wires correctly.
Compensates for skating force caused by stylus contact with groove; adjust to match stylus pressure.
Adjust zero balance; set stylus pressure by turning knob according to cartridge weight (4.5-11.5g).
Adjust arm height with screw; use cueing lever to raise/lower tonearm slowly for playback.
Adjust fine adjustment screw for stylus tip to record surface distance (6-10mm) or arm lift height.
Features a 33cm ultra-large diameter platter and a direct drive brushless DC motor for stable speed.
Electronic stabilization ensures speed stability; speed is unaffected by power supply fluctuations.
No reduction or transmission mechanisms reduce wear; high-performance efficiency is maintained.
Easy balancing and stylus pressure control with a smooth mechanism; feather-touch cueing for gentle descent.
Details include direct drive system, platter size, speeds, motor type, power consumption, and dimensions.
Details include type, effective length, overhang, tracking error angle, and stylus pressure range.
Place on stable surface, away from speakers and heat sources, to ensure optimal performance.
