The turntable should rest on a level and stable surface that is clear of obstructions. If a mixer is placed between two turntables make sure that there is at least ¼" (7mm) between the mixer and the turntables to prevent damage to the turntables and to reduce unwanted system noise.

CONTROLS

General Controls

1. Power Button This button turns on the turntable when pressed. It illuminates blue when the turntable is switched on.

2. Platter This turntable has a special edge design that has been optimized for "dragged" platter slow downs. (NOTE: The pattern will appear to stand still when the Pitch Range is set to 0% and the Target Light is being used.)

3. Start/Stop Buttons These buttons start and stop the turntable motor. Both buttons have the same function.

4. Reverse Button Pushing this button down will reverse the rotation direction of the turntable platter.

5. Strobe Target Light and Power Jack This aluminum light can be rotated depending on the head shell position and the amount of light required on the v inyl record surface. The light also strobes against the platter edge making the pattern appear to stand still when the Pitch Range is at 0%.

6. 33 and 45 RPM Buttons These buttons control the RPM of the turntable platter. When both of the 33 and 45 RPM buttons are pressed, the 78 RPM mode will engage.

7. Start Time Adjuster This control can be rotated to increase or decrease the startup time of the motor.
