PITCH ADJUSTMENT
The pitch control is variable in a range of +/-10%. During play, observe the strobe dots. If the strobe dots appear
to the right, the pitch is slower than the rated speed. If flow to the left, the pitch is faster than the rated speed If the
strobe dots appear stationary, which means the platter is in normal turntable speed, move the pitch control slider up
or down to adjust the speed.
PLACEMENT

Cartridge may pick up slight sound pressure or vibrations of the speakers coming along the floor or through
the air resulting in howling. Find a location, which is very stable and free of vibration.
