INSTALLING THE DUSTCOVER:
1. Mount the hinges onto the dustcover.
2. Hold the dustcover in position, directly above the turntable, and slide the
hinge bases into the holders mounted on the rear panel.
3. Always raise the dustcover before removal.
4. Avoid opening and closing the dustcover during play. Undesirable
vibration and stylus skipping can result.
CONNECTIONS:
1. Plug the AC power plug into an appropriate outlet.
2. See Table A for proper connection of the output RCA plugs and ground
connector. Make sure that all the plugs are firmly plugged into the
appropriate jacks (phono inputs). To reduce hum, make sure the ground
lug is firmly connected to the ground screw.

Operating Instructions
BASIC OPERATION:
1. Place a record on the NEOPRENE MAT (4) which sits on the
PLATTER (2).
2. Select the desired speed by depressing the 33 or 45 SPEED
SELECTOR (15) button.
3. Turn the POWER (13) switch to the “ON” position, at which point the
strobe illuminator (built into the POWER switch and the speed indicator
(for the selected speed) will illuminate.
4. Remove the stylus protector (if applicable to your cartridge).
5. Release the ARM CLAMP (9) found on the ARM REST (10).
6. Push the START STOP (14) button. The turntable PLATTER (2) will
start to spin.
7. Push the CUE LEVER (16) to the “UP” position.
8. Position the tone arm over the desired position on the record and push
the CUE LEVER to the “DOWN” position. The TONE ARM (6) will
slowly lower onto the record at which time play will begin.
9. When play is over, raise the TONE ARM (6), move it to the ARM REST
(10), and secure it with the ARM CLAMP (9).
10. You now have the option of turning off the power by turning the POWER
(13) switch to the “OFF” position, or stopping the PLATTER (2) by
pushing the START STOP (14) button and engaging the electronic
brake.
INTERRUPTING PLAY:
1. Pushing the CUE LEVER (16) to the “UP” position will cause the TONE
ARM (6) to lift, stopping play.
2. Pushing the CUE LEVER to the “DOWN” position will cause the TONE
ARM to slowly lower onto the record at the point where play was
interrupted.
PLAYING 45 RPM RECORDS:
1. When playing a 45 RPM record with a large center hole, first place the
45 ADAPTER (17) on the center spindle.
2. Be sure that the 45 SPEED SELECTOR (15) button is pushed and the
45 speed indicator is illuminated.
TARGET LIGHT:
1. Push the TARGET LIGHT SWITCH (18) firmly and the TARGET LIGHT
(19) will raise into position and illuminate the stylus tip.
2. To lower the TARGET LIGHT, push down on it until it locks in the
casing.
3. When not being used, the TARGET LIGHT should be kept in the
lowered position.
ADJUSTING THE PITCH CONTROL:
1. The PT-1000 II is equipped with PITCH CONTROL (21) and QUARTZ
LOCK (23). When the QUARTZ LOCK is activated, the QUARTZ
LOCK LED (22) lights GREEN, and the speed will be exactly 33 1/3 or
45 RPM depending on which SPEED SELECTOR (15) button is pushed
regardless of the position of the pitch control. PITCH CONTROL
automatically disengages when QUARTZ LOCK is activated.
2. When the QUARTZ LOCK is off, you can adjust the PITCH CONTROL.
When you move PITCH CONTROL off center, the pitch can vary +/-
10% depending on the position of the PITCH CONTROL.
3. Push the QUARTZ LOCK (23) button to bring the speed back to exactly
33 1/3 or 45 RPM when the PITCH CONTROL is positioned off center.
Disengaging the QUARTZ LOCK will bring the platter speed back to the
original pitch setting.
4. The PLATTER (2) is equipped with a STROBE RPM INDICATOR
STRIP (24) and the POWER (13) switch contains built in STROBE
LIGHTS (25). When the PLATTER (2) is spinning, the STROBE
LIGHTS illuminate the STROBE RPM INDICATOR STRIP. The bottom
row of dots will appear to be stationary when the pitch is -3.3%. The
second row of dots from the bottom will appear to be stationary when
the speed is exactly 33 1/3 or 45 RPM depending on which SPEED
SELECTOR (15) button is pushed. The third row of dots from the
bottom will appear to be stationary when the pitch is +3.3%. The top
row of dots will appear to be stationary when the pitch is +7.2%.
PITCH BEND:
1. Pushing the PITCH BEND (20) buttons will temporarily raise or lower
the pitch without changing the slide setting. Releasing the buttons will
return the pitch to the slide setting.
ARM-LIFT HEIGHT ADJUSTMENT:
If the pre-adjusted distance that the CUE LEVER (16) raises the stylus off
the record surface is inadequate, it can be adjusted by turning the ARM-
LIFT HEIGHT ADJUSTMENT SCREW (26) while simultaneously pushing
down on the TONE ARM (6). Clockwise rotation of the screw will decrease
the distance and counterclockwise rotation will increase the distance.
