cord. Never make a knot in the cord or tie it with other
cords. The power cords should be routed such that they
are not likely to be stepped on. A damaged power cord
can cause a fire or give you an electrical shock. Check
the power cord once in a while. When you find it
damaged, ask your nearest service center or your
dealer for a replacement. S002*_A1_En

Features
This unit is a high-torque direct drive turntable that can be enjoyed in a
variety of applications ranging from home listening to DJing.
High-quality analog record sound
The path from the stylus tip to the PHONO/LINE output has been
designed as the shortest to faithfully reproduce the original sound quality of analog records.
Furthermore, since not only PHONO output but also LINE output is supported, you can easily enjoy high quality analog record sound by simply
directly connecting with powered speakers.
Easy digital recording
A USB-B terminal is provided so you can directly connect this unit and
a PC or Mac and then record analog record sound sources to the PC or
Mac by converting them to data. Digital recording with simple operation
can be performed by using the recording function of the free music management application “rekordbox” (Ver.4.2.1 or later) when recording.
DJ performance capable direct-drive
turntable
The adoption of a high-torque direct-drive system means you can perform track mixing, scratching, and other DJ performances by combining
two of these units with a DJ mixer.

Adjusting the tone arm balance
Because the cartridge and headshell weights differ depending on the
product, the balance of the tone arm is adjusted.
Prepare as follows.
! Remove the stylus cover and arm clamper while paying attention not
to touch the stylus tip.
! Push down the lifter lever.
! Set the [ANTI SKATING] dial to “0”.
Keep the tone arm from the arm rest and adjust the
balance so it is horizontal.
Turn the balance weight until the tone arm becomes almost horizontal.
! When moving the tone arm, make sure that the stylus tip does not
directly touch the turntable and the like.
Adjusting the stylus pressure
To prevent stylus jumping or sound distortion, the stylus pressure is
adjusted to the appropriate stylus pressure value determined for each
cartridge.
The appropriate stylus pressure value for the included cartridge is from
3.0 g to 4.0 g.
Prepare as follows.
! Return the tone arm to the arm rest and secure with the arm clamp.
1 Match the “0” on the stylus pressure adjustment ring
to the center line of the arm rear shaft.
While using your finger to hold the balance weight to keep it from moving, turn only the stylus pressure adjustment ring so that the number “0”
comes to the black center line of the tone arm rear shaft.
2 Adjust the stylus pressure.
Turn the balance weight to adjust to the appropriate stylus pressure
value for your cartridge.
! When turning the balance weight, the stylus pressure adjustment
ring turns together. While observing the adjustment ring, adjust the
stylus pressure to the appropriate value.

Cautions on use
About condensation
Water droplets (condensation) may form inside the unit (on operating
parts and lenses) in the winter, for example, if the unit is moved from a
cold place into a warm room or if the temperature in the room in which
the unit is installed rises suddenly (through heating, etc.). The unit will
not operate properly and will not be playable with condensation inside.
Let the unit stand for 1 to 2 hours at room temperature (though this
time depends on the conditions of the condensation) without turning on
the power. The water droplets will evaporate and the unit will become
playable. Condensation can occur in the summer as well if the unit is
exposed to the direct wind from an air-conditioner, etc. If this happens,
move the unit to a different location.
When transporting the unit to another
location
Use the original packing materials to pack the unit.
If the original packing materials are not available, be sure to perform the
following.
En
16
! Detach the slip mat and turntable before packing.
! Detach the headshell and balance weight from the arm and pack
carefully.
! Use the arm clamper to secure the tone arm and use tape to secure
it so that it does not move.
! Wrap the main unit in a blanket or soft paper so that it will not be
damaged.
! Pack so that a force will not be applied to the tone arm.
Maintenance of each part
When attaching and detaching the headshell, turn off the power of the
amplifier.
If you attempt to do so while the volume is loud, the speaker could be
damaged.
! Remove the shell with cartridge and use a soft tip brush or writing
brush to carefully remove dust, etc. from the stylus tip.
! Use a good quality record cleaner to clean records.
! Use a soft cloth or something similar to clean the headshell terminal
and then reattach it to the tone arm.
Page 17
Cleaning the dust cover, etc.
Use a soft cloth to clean the dust cover and cabinet
! Do not clean the dust cover while playing. Static electricity could
cause the tone arm to be pulled by the dust cover.
