VRX-2000 VINYL CUTTING MACHINE
Congratulations on your purchase of this quality product from Vestax Corporation: the
sensational VRX-2000 Vinyl Cutting Machine.
The VRX-2000 can give you superb results in the making of long-lasting Vinyl records. To
achieve such results, please remember that the mastering process of Vinyl records requires skill
and a basic understanding of complicated audio waveforms.
Cutting Vinyl from a cassette-based multi-track recording or a stereo cassette recorder should
prove to be straight forward, as the frequency response of cassette-based music is not as
intense as that of a CD.
Cutting from professionally mastered CDs that have good equalization and compression should
also give excellent results.
However, recording from some CDs (for example, CDs from home studio set-ups) may provide
difficulties. This is due to the fact that these recordings sometimes have very wide frequency
ranges, and have not been prepared professionally for mass-production or broadcast.
Please study and understand compressors and limiters and how to use equalizers to get the
best result from your VRX-2000.
GENERAL CAUTION
1. This is a product to cut analogue records. Cutting records requires experience and
technique. If you do not learn how to use the VRX-2000 properly, you may not get the best
possible results. Please read this manual carefully. Vestax will not be responsible for the
problems caused by improper use.
2. Please save the original VRX-2000 carton and padding/packing. Always use them for
transportation. If the unit is transported with improper packing and consequently damaged, the
warranty repair will not apply.
3 VRX-2000 is a very high-tech creation. Please use great caution in moving and setting up.
