PART NAMES & FUNCTIONS
1) START/STOP
Press this button to start or stop the platter.
2) STROBE DOTS
The dots around the edge of the platter are
used in conjunction with the light located inside
the motor ON/OFF switch. While the platter is
in rotation, the dots help to indicate the speed
of rotation. The speed is lower than the
displayed speed (33,45,78) when the dots are
flowing to the right. It is higher than the
displayed speed (33,45,78) when the dots are
flowing to the left. When the strobe is stopped,
the platter is rotating at the displayed speed.
3) MOTOR ON/OFF SWITCH
As opposed to fully analog turntables, this is
not the power switch. This switch only turns on
or off the motor. Rotate clockwise to turn on the
motor. The platter will not start spinning until
the start/stop button has been pressed. Rotate
counter-clockwise during playback (off position)
for a slow winding down effect.
4) PLATTER REVOLUTION SPEEDS (rpm)

+/-25%, or +/-50% pitch range.

This is a fully manual tone arm. To start
playback, gently place the stylus on the record
using the headshell finger support. Do not drop
the stylus onto the record as it may cause
damage to the diamond tip and to the record.
