between ±12%, ±6%, ±3%.

MOTOR OFF function is provided to cancel servo

brake

of the motor and REVERSE MODE will reve rse the
turntable thus provided.

STICK CONTROLLER is provided for the functions of
p i t ch  bend  and  FA S T

S L OW, so that it is possible to

Before detaching or attaching the headshell, be sure to turn
the power of the amplifier or mixer off.

D e t a ching  or  at t a ching  of  the  headshell  with  the  vo l u m e

When play is finished, be sure to secure the tone-arm with
the arm clamp. After play is finished, if the unit is not to be
used for some time, care should be taken to secure the
tone-arm to protect the stylus tip. For the same reason, the
stylus protector should also be attached.

Wipe the headshell terminals from time to time. Dust and
d i rt  at  the  headshell  terminals  may  result  in  incre a s e d
"HUM" noise or intermittent sound. Use a soft dry cloth to
clean the heashell terminals.

Dust and dirt should be carefully removed from stylus tip
or records.  Dust and dirt on the stylus tip or record may
not only result in deteri o ration of tone quality, but also
cause undue wear of the record and the stylus tip itself.

Transportation of the unit to distant places for removal and
the like. Pa ck up the unit in the reve rse order to that fo r
unpacking, using the packing materials furnished when the

materials, be sure to take the following steps. Remove the
turntable platter together with the turntable mat, and wrap
it up to prevent any damage to them. Return the tone-arm
to the arm rest, and affix it with tape or the like. Remove
the balance weight and the headshell/cart ri d ge from the
t o n e - a rm  and  then  wrap  them  up  to  avoid  and  damage  to
them. Wrap up the turn t able base with a bl a n ket or soft
paper also to prevent any possible damage to it.

ACOUSTIC FEEDBACK AND HUM
Acoustic Feedback is usually cause by vibration of speaker,
which affects the sensitive cartridge. If such a phenomenon
occurs, relocate the turntable or speakers as far apart from
e a ch other as possibl e.  Hum is usually cause by nearby
appliances  that  use  tra n s fo rmer  or  therm o s t at.  Relocat i n g
the unit further away from the noise sources will re a d i ly
s o l ve the pro blem. Hum may also be produced if the
gr ounding wire extendi ng from the unit is secure ly
connected to the GND terminal on the amplifier of mixer.
