T3 TURNTABLE
9. PITCH SLIDER:
Use the pitch slider to change the actual speed of the platter. The
Range depends on the Pitch Range button (7). When the slider is in its middle
position, the blue led next to the pitch slider will turn on to indicate that the
turntable is locked to the exact center speed.
Attention:
take care that the Quartz
lock button (8) is switched off.
10. SINGLE ADAPTER:
Place this adapter on the platter for playing 7” records with
large center holes.
11. POWER ON/OFF SWITCH:
Used to turn the turntable on an off.
12. POWER CORD CONNECTOR:
Used to connect to the mains, using the supplied
power cord.
13. PHONO/LINE SWITCH:
Depending on the
position of the phono/line switch, you can connect
the turntable to any phono or line level input.
14. PHONO/LINE OUTPUT:
Connect the turntable to
any phono or line level input, using the supplied
cinch/cinch cable. Be sure to put the phono/line
switch (13) in the right position.
15. TONE ARM:
This is a fully manual S-shaped tone arm. To start playback, gently
place the stylus on the record using the head shell finger support. Do not drop the
stylus onto the record as this may cause damage to the diamond tip and to the
record.
16. COUNTERWEIGHT:
Use the counterweight to balance the tone arm and to adjust
the stylus pressure. For the correct stylus pressure, please refer to the user
manual of your cartridge.
Setting up the stylus pressure:
Make sure the cartridge is well
fitted and its needle protector is
removed. Put a record on the
platter and make sure the anti-
skate is set to zero. Put the tone
arm lever in “down” position. Take
the tone arm and turn the counter-
weight until the tone arm is in
perfect balance
Æ
It floats
horizontally above the record
surface, see “OK” picture at the right. Now set the “stylus pressure ring” (front
section of the counterweight with markings) to zero by turning the ring while you
take care that the counterweight doesn’t move. Next, turn the complete
counterweight clockwise until the “stylus pressure ring” indicates the correct needle
pressure.
Don’t forget to put the anti-skate back in place.
17. ANTI-SKATE KNOB:
When a record is playing, side forces are generated,
pushing the stylus towards the center or the outside of the record. You can use the
anti-skate knob to offset this force and keep the needle centered in the groove. For
standard playback simply turn the anti-skate knob to the same number as the
stylus pressure reads in grams. (Stylus pressure = 3gr.
Æ
anti-skate = 3)
18. TONE ARM LIFT:
Controls the up and down action of the tone arm.
19. TONE ARM CLAMP & REST:
Use this rest for the tone arm while changing a
record. Attach the tone arm to the rest using the clamp when the turntable is not
used or when it is transported. This prevents the tone arm from accidentally turning
towards the platter and damaging the needle of the cartridge.
