Use and adjustments:
Platter rotation& Speed selection:
1.Press firmly the power button the front panel. After 10 sec the PS is ready. The display will
show 33 and above the start button a red LED will be shown. You can keep the PS switched
on all the time.
2.By pressing the start button the red LED will turn green and the platter should start rotating.
To stop platter simply press the start button again. The red LED will show and the platter will
stop rotating.
3. Press the speed button and the selected speed will change from 33 to 45. Press again and it
will return to 33. But for speed 45rpm, first always start up with 33rpm and then switch to
45rpm.
4.Do not hold pressed start button before mains switch is on.
Fine Speed adjustment:
Observe on a strobe disc if the bars are stationary. If not ( bars move in the same direction as
platter rotation then the speed is too high) then press few times( there are very small steps- so
keep pressing) the plus or minus buttons until the bars are stationary. On the display you will
see a green dot in the right bottom corner indicating that change is in process. Using a sharp
pen, press the store button and the green dot will disappear. Check speed independently for
both speeds. When using the strobe disc, be sure that you use properly. Check that you are
looking at the correct speed and are using the correct strobe light ( household light which
depends on mains frequency).
Clamp:
The clamp can be used without washers. Gently screw down the clamp on top of the record.
Put a washer under the LP (thin for thick records and thick for thin records) and start
screwing the clamp down. Observe the outer edge of the LP. To start with, this edge will be
above the mat but will slowly lower to touch the mat. With fingers hold the LP so that it
does not rotate. If the clamp is further screwed, the outer edge will rise. Pressure should then
be released by slightly unscrewing the clamp until the outer edge is touching the mat again.
This is the position in which the record is held in firmest contact with the mat.
With practise there is no need to stop spinning the platter while changing LPs or using the
clamp.
VTA change:
Rotation of the toothed knob at the base of tonearm tower raises and lowers the top part of the
tonearm tower (seen from the top, counterclockwise rotation raises VTA). Adjustments can
be in repeatable increments below 0.01mm. Rigid construction allows for this to be done
while records are playing, without changing azimuth. For more details see the sections on
tonearm tower and VTA clock.
