TARGET LIGHT:
1. Push the TARGET LIGHT SWITCH (20) firmly and the
TARGET LIGHT (21) will raise into position and illuminate the
stylus tip.
2. To lower the TARGET LIGHT, push down on it until it locks in
the casing.
3. When not being used, the TARGET LIGHT should be kept in
the lowered position.
XLR LAMP ADAPTOR:
1. Plug a gooseneck light with an XLR base, like the GEMINI GNL-
500, into the XLR LAMP ADAPTOR (22).
2. When the power is turned on, the light will illuminate.
ADJUSTING THE PITCH CONTROL:
1. The PT-2000 is equipped with PITCH CONTROL (23) and
QUARTZ LOCK (25). When the QUARTZ LOCK is activated,
the PITCH LED (24) lights GREEN, and the speed will be
exactly 33 1/3 or 45 RPM depending on which SPEED
SELECTOR BUTTON (17) is pushed. PITCH CONTROL
automatically disengages when QUARTZ LOCK is activated.
2. When the QUARTZ LOCK is off, you can adjust the PITCH
CONTROL(23). When you move PITCH CONTROL (23) off
center, the pitch can vary +/- 10% depending on the position of
the PITCH CONTROL.
3. Push the QUARTZ LOCK (25) button to bring the speed back
to exactly 33 1/3 or 45 RPM when the PITCH CONTROL (23)
is positioned off center. Disengaging the QUARTZ LOCK (25)
will bring the platter speed back to the original pitch setting.
4. The PLATTER (2) is equipped with a STROBE RPM
INDICATOR STRIP (26) and the POWER SWITCH (15)
contains built in STROBE LIGHTS (27). When the PLATTER
(2) is spinning, the STROBE LIGHTS illuminate the STROBE
RPM INDICATOR STRIP (26). The bottom row of dots will
appear to be stationary when the speed of the platter is
exactly 45 RPM. The second row from the bottom will appear
to be stationary at 33 1/3 RPM.
ARM-LIFT HEIGHT ADJUSTMENT:
If the pre-adjusted distance that the CUE LEVER (18) raises the
stylus off the record surface is inadequate, it can be adjusted by
turning the ARM-LIFT HEIGHT ADJUSTMENT SCREW (28) while
simultaneously pushing down on the TONE ARM (5). Clockwise
rotation of the screw will decrease the distance and
counterclockwise rotation will increase the distance.
