1. Power Input: Use the included power
cable to connect this input to a power
outlet, and then power on the unit.

2. RCA Outputs: Use standard RCA cables
to connect this output to a mixer, speaker
or amplifier system. Use the Phono/Line
switch to set the level of the output.

3. Phono/Line Switch: Set this switch to the appropriate position, depending on the device you
are connecting the RCA Outputs to. When connecting to a phono-level input, set this switch to

Phono. When connecting to a line-level input, set this switch to Line.
Note: When set to Line, audio is lost when the power is turned off. When set to Phono, audio

continues when power is turned off, allowing for motorless performance from the platter.

4. USB Port: Use a standard USB cable to connect this USB port to your computer. You can listen
to your records through your computer as long as you have configured your computer’s sound
input and output options correctly.

Note: When NTX1000 is connected to a computer via USB, the Phono/Line switch must be set
to Line.

Top Panel

1. Power Switch & Strobe Light: Turn this
dial at the top of the strobe light to power
NTX1000 on or off.

The strobe light illuminates the edge of the
platter, which indicates whether or not the
phase of the platter’s rotation is constant.
As the platter rotates, look at the vertical
lines on its edge under the light’s strobing.
If the phase is constant, the lines will
appear to be still. If the rotation is out of
phase, the lines will appear to move or
“drift.”

2. Start/Stop: Press this button to start and
stop the platter’s motor. If the platter
appears not to be functioning, make sure it
is properly secured (see Setup > Platter).

3. 33 & 45 RPM Buttons: Press one of these buttons to set the rotation speed (RPM) of the platter.
The lit button indicates the current selection.

4. 45 RPM Adapter Holder: Place the 45 RPM adapter here when not using it.

5. Platter: Place the platter onto the motor before using it. See Setup > Platter for detailed
information on securing the platter.

6. Target Light: This light illuminates the platter so you can view the grooves on your record (for
placing the stylus). To turn it on, press the smaller button next to it. To turn it off, push the light
downward into the base until it locks in place.

7. Start Time: Controls the rate at which the platter regains its normal playback speed.

8. Stop Time: Controls the rate at which the platter slows to a complete stop (“brake time”).

9. Pitch Fader: Move this fader to increase or decrease speed of the platter (and therefore
the pitch of the track). In the center position, the pitch is at 0%. Use the Pitch Range
button to set the full range of the pitch fader.

10. Pitch Range: Press this button to cycle through the available ranges of the pitch fader:
±8%, ±16%, and ±50%. The lights above the button indicate the current selection.

11. Pitch Reset: Press this button to return the speed of the platter to 0% pitch adjustment
immediately, regardless of the position of the pitch fader.

Tonearm

See Setup > Tonearm for additional details on these controls.

12. Tonearm: With the tonearm lever in the “raised” position, gently
move the tonearm so it rests over your record on the platter. To
play your record, move the tonearm lever to the “lowered”
position, which will lower the tonearm onto your record.

13. Tonearm Lock Nut: This nut secures the headshell and cartridge
assembly to the tonearm. Turn the cartridge clockwise to loosen it
or counterclockwise to tighten it. Do not over-tighten it.

14. Headshell: Mount your cartridge (not included) on this headshell,
and then attach the headshell to the tonearm lock nut.
(Remember to remove the plastic cover from your cartridge
before using it.) The headshell is user-replaceable and compatible
with many standard cartridges.

Note: To prevent damage, we recommend removing the
headshell and cartridge assembly before packing or transporting
NTX1000.

15. Tonearm Clip: Close this clip to secure the tonearm while it is not
being used. The clip remains in the “up” position while open.

16. Tonearm Lever: Move this lever between its two positions to
raise or lower the tonearm. Raise the tonearm before moving it
toward or away from the record, and lower it once it is in place.

17. Anti-Skate Dial: Turn this dial to compensate for inward tracking forces that occur with
certain cartridges as the stylus nears the center of the record. In most cases, set this to 0.
If you experience excessive skipping during back-cueing or scratching while nearing the
center of the record, increase this dial’s setting in small increments and test its
performance.

18. Height Adjustment & Lock Lever: Turn this large dial to set the height of the tonearm.
Move the small Lock lever (above the Anti-Skate Dial) counterclockwise or clockwise to
unlock or lock the height adjustment, respectively. See Setup > Tonearm to learn how to
set the appropriate height.

19. Counterweight & Scale Ring: The counterweight balances the headshell and cartridge
assembly so the tonearm can apply the proper amount of stylus pressure to the record.
See Setup > Tonearm to learn how to properly balance the tonearm.

Note: If your headshell is heavier than expected, there is an additional counterweight
included, which you use with this counterweight to balance your tonearm properly.

Setup

Platter

Place the platter onto the motor by aligning the pins in the bottom of the
platter with the holes in the motor. Press it down firmly. Check to make sure
that it rotates uniformly and does not wobble excessively, and then place the
slipmat onto the platter.

Important:

• Incorrect platter setup can lead to poor turntable performance, platter
instability or permanent motor damage.

• Make sure that the felt slipmat is always placed on top of the platter while
using the turntable. Failure to use the slipmat may cause damage to your
media as well as damage to the turntable.

0 360° 1

4 g

Important: Refer to the documentation for your cartridge to determine the proper stylus

pressure/weight (in grams) and tonearm height (in millimeters).

1. Make sure the cartridge is on the tonearm. Turn the tonearm lock nut clockwise to loosen it or
counterclockwise to tighten it. Do not over-tighten it! Remove the plastic cartridge cover (needle
cover) before operating the turntable.

2. Attach the counterweight and scale ring to the tonearm, and then rotate the counterweight
counterclockwise (while you are facing the scale ring) until it is in the complete forward position.

Note: This is also the maximum amount of pressure that can be applied to the cartridge.

3. Now there should be a feeling of weight and resistance when the headshell is raised and
lowered. Begin rotating the counterweight clockwise (while you are facing the scale ring) until
the weight and resistance feeling is gone. If done properly, the tonearm will pivot with very little
resistance back and forth indicating that there is exactly 0 grams of stylus pressure.

4. With the counterweight in its new position further away from tonearm pivot point, grasp the
scale ring only and rotate it until 0 is in the vertical position.

5. Finally, rotate the counterweight and scale ring counterclockwise until you reach the desired
weight. A complete revolution of the scale ring corresponds to 3 g, so if the scale rotates 360°
beyond the 0 point, add 3 to the new scale ring reading.

If you cannot achieve the desired weight during this step, remove the counterweight and scale
ring from the tonearm entirely, attach the additional counterweight (included) to the end of the
tonearm, and then start again from Step 2 above. This is not a common occurrence, though
there may be some DJ headshells and cartridges that are heavier than normal.

6. Push the small Lock lever (above the Anti-Skate Dial) counterclockwise to unlock the height

adjustment dial. Place the stylus on your record, and then move the tonearm lever to raise or
lower the tonearm so it is parallel with the record. Push the Lock lever clockwise to lock the
height adjustment dial.
