easily tell this by watching for the point where the TONE ARM
(7) "floats" freely.
4. Place TONE ARM (7) on ARM REST (11) and lock it in place
with the ARM CLAMP (10).
5. With the TONE ARM (7) locked on the ARM REST (11), hold
the COUNTERWEIGHT (8) steady with one hand while rotating
the STYLUS PRESSURE RING (9) until the numeral "0" on the
ring aligns with the center line on the TONE ARM (7) rear shaft.
The HORIZONTAL ZERO (0) balance should be completed.
6. Re-float the TONE ARM (7) to ensure horizontal zero (0) bal-
ance. If zero balance has not been maintained, repeat counter-
weight steps 3 - 5.
7. After adjusting the HORIZONTAL ZERO (0) balance, turn the
balanced COUNTERWEIGHT (8) counter clockwise until the
cartridge manufacturer's recommend stylus pressure appears
on the STYLUS PRESSURE RING (9) where it meets the cen-
ter line of the TONE ARM (7) rear shaft.
ADJUSTING THE ANTI-SKATING CONTROL:
Set the ANTI-SKATING CONTROL (12) to the same value as
the stylus pressure.
NOTE: IF YOUR TURNTABLE CAME WITH A CN-1000 CARTRIDGE, IT HAS A
RECOMMENDED TRACKING FORCE OF 3.0 GRAMS AND CAN HAVE RANGE
FROM 2.5-3.5 GRAMS.
ADJUSTING TONE ARM HEIGHT:
The iTT comes with an adjustable TONE ARM BASE (7). This
feature is generally used when a larger or smaller sized head-
shell is used for record playing. You may adjust the height of the
TONE ARM (7) by unlocking the base with the use of the LOCK
SWITCH (20) located next to the ANTI SKATE CONTROL (12).
Then adjust the TONE ARM ADJUSTMENT LEVER (8), locat-
ed below the counter weight, to adjust the height of the TONE
ARM (7) by 6 mm.
CONNECTIONS:
1. Plug the AC power plug into an appropriate outlet.
2. See TABLE A for proper connection of the output RCA plugs
and ground connector. Make sure that all the plugs are firmly
plugged into the appropriate jacks (phono inputs).
NOTE: TO REDUCE HUM, MAKE SURE THE GROUND LUG IS FIRMLY CON-
NECTED TO THE GROUND SCREW.

4. Remove the stylus protector (if applicable to your cartridge).
5. Release the ARM CLAMP (10) found on the ARM REST (11).
6. Push the START/STOP (15) button. The turntable PLATTER
(2) will start to spin.

tion over the record. Lower the TONE ARM (7) slowly, while let-
ting go of the TONE ARM (7) over the record where you want to
play.
8. When play is over, raise the TONE ARM (7), move it onto the
ARM REST (11), and secure it with the ARM CLAMP (10).

the POWER (13) switch to the "OFF" position, or stopping the
PLATTER (2) by pushing the START/STOP (15) button.
INTERRUPTING PLAY:
1. Pushing the START/STOP (15) button will cause the record to
stop exactly when the START/STOP (15) button is pressed
while playing.
2. Press the START/STOP (15) button again to start playback
with a short delay effect.
ADJUSTING THE PITCH CONTROL:
1. The iTT is equipped with a PITCH SLIDE CONTROL (17).
When the PITCH SLIDE CONTROL (17) is in the center posi-
tion, the speed will be 33, 45, or 78 depending on which SPEED
SELECTOR (16) button is pushed.
2. When the PITCH SLIDE CONTROL (17) is positioned off cen-
ter, the pitch can vary ±10% depending on the position of the
PITCH SLIDE CONTROL (17).
