45 FINE SPEED ADJUSTMENT („PITCH“)
Fine Speed Adjustment („Pitch“)
The drive of the TD 124 DD has an integrated
stroboscope for precise adjustment of the plat-
ter‘s rotational speed.
For fine adjustment of the speed, put on a
record and start the turntable drive. Wait a
moment until the platter has reached its full rota-
tional speed and look into the strobe window in
front of the turntable from above. There you will
see several rows of dots. (Fig. 28)
If you have selected 33 1/3 rpm, the outermost
row of dots should appear to be stationary. If
the dots move to the left, turn the pitch control
on the front of the sub-chassis slowly to the
right, starting from the middle position marked
„0“, until the dots no longer move. If the row of
dots seems to move to the right, turn the pitch
control to the left. (Fig. 29)
For 45 rpm, if necessary, also make the adjust-
ment as described above, but in this case pay
attention to the second row of dots from the
outside.
