Rotation Speed Fine Tuning (5)
With this regulator, you can fine-tune the rotation speed of
the turntable.
+ = faster – = slower
With the help of the stroboscopic mirrors, you can select the
right rotation speed for the selected record size. (Please refer
to the figure on page 3)
• When the turntable is rotating, adjust the PITCH
CONTROL regulator until the respective stroboscopic
mirrors reach an optical standstill.
• The turntable is now rotating in the ideal speed for the
selected record size.
PHONO / LINE Switch (14)
• If the switch is in the PHONO position, audio signal
output happens directly via the cinch connectors. For the
connection to an amplifier with a PHONO input.
• If the switch is in the LINE position, audio signal output
happens via the integrated amplifier. For the connection
to an amplifier without a PHONO input.
