minimum will allow the platter to decrease to stop gradually.
8) REVERSE
This button is used to reverse the direction of the platter rotation
9) ±10%
Press this button to select ±10% pitch range on the pitch slider
(13). Button is lit when selected.
10) ±20%
Press this button to select ±20% pitch range on the pitch slider
(13). Button is lit when selected. Press ±10% & ±20% buttons
simultaneously to select ±50% pitch range on the pitch slider (13).

during play. The slider will adjust at ±10,20 & 50% selectable.
14) TONE ARM
This is a fully manual S-shaped tone arm of metal construction.

The tone arm rest holds the tone arm when not in use. There is a
locking catch to secure the tone arm to avoid damage by
accidentally knocking the deck.
16) ANTI-SKATE
Use this dial to adjust the amount of anti-skate to be added. When
a record is playing, a force is generated drawing the stylus towards
the centre of the record. Set this knob to the same value as the
stylus pressure to offset this force.
17) HEIGHT ADJUST
Adjust the height of the tone arm to the depth of the cartridge so
the tone arm is level.
18) COUNTERWEIGHT
Use this to balance the tone arm and to adjust the stylus pressure.
19) OUTPUT
Phono connections to any mixer’s phono inputs.
20) POWER
IEC connection socket for a 90° kettle type lead included.
21) SLIPMAT
High quality custom slipmat design to give grip on the record and
minimum resistance on the platter.
Installing a Cartridge
To install a cartridge into the headshell provided, 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:

Placement
•
Do not place the unit in a location where it will be exposed to direct
sunlight or near a heating appliance.
•
Do not place the unit in a location where there is high humidity or
a lot of dust.
•
Cartridge may pick up sound pressures or vibrations from the
speakers coming along the floor or through the air resulting in
howling. Find a location, which is very stable, and vibration free.
•
The legs have functions for adjusting the height of the unit itself.
Adjust the legs to stabilize the main body horizontally.
Connections
1. Connect the power cord to the household AC outlet.
2. Connect the unit output terminals to the PHONO jack of your
amplifier or receiver.

If this connection is not made or is loose, a power source "HUM" will
result.
Maintenance
•
Clean the stylus periodically with a soft brush to prevent the
accumulation of dust.
•
When the sound becomes distorted or noisy, check the stylus. If
worn out, replace it with a new one.
•
From time to time, the turntable cabinet should be wiped with a
soft, dry cloth.
