2.3  Operation and Menu Options

Remove the protective packaging foil from your
TURN-CONTROL. We are now going to put into
the TURN-CONTROL the actual situation of your
layout (turntable model, bridge position and
locations of the track exits).

Advice: It is not necessary to use a digital central
controller or PC to do this. All of the settings are
carried out on the equipment itself.

After first switching on your TURN-CONTROL
you should see the following indication in the
display (Fig. 4). If not, then there may be a fault,
so you can look it up in the "error" appendix. 

Please carry out the following procedure exactly,
step by step, so that it is done correctly.

To  operate your  TURN-CONTROL there are
certain operational controls: 

The  red rotating knob. This has 2
operational functions: 

Rotation

and

DepressionRotating the knob brings up the
"next step" in the menu selection and later to
"set the turntable in motion". As the red knob
is rotated, there are detectable, fine control
setting of "notches". Each notch will select a
new menu option or a new track exit.
Depressing the knob (as  a "key") denotes a
"selection/confirmation" of a chosen menu
option.
Advice: This "selection/confirmationcan also
be similarly carried out by using one of the
relevant green keys.

The  green keys. According to the symbol
shown in the display next to each key, they
are used to carry out the required functions of
the relevant operation.
