• A.S.T.S - anti skipping tone arm system - the most reliable and strongest tone arm system available for professional turntables of
this kind. This system when combined with Tracking Hold (TH) technology can reduce skipping and needle vibration by up to 90%.
• Adjustable tone arm height and weight.
• Start and brake speeds can be adjusted and pre-set for improved performance.
• Reverse play is possible with the quick easy one touch reverse play button.

the best possible acoustic sounds but also reduces feedback.

• In addition to the above-mentioned feature, the dynamic balance tone arm system is adopted.
By improving the trace performance of tone arm, playback sound quality becomes better and it makes playback possible even if the
disk have some curvature.
• Ensure that the power to any mixer or amplifier that the turntable is connected to is turned OFF before attaching or detaching the
head shell. Failing to do so may damage your mixer, amplifier or speakers.
• Whilst the platter is detached DO NOT TURN ON THE TURNTABLE.
• When you have finished using the turntable please ensure that the tone arm is secured with the tone arm clamp. If the unit is not to
be used for an extended period it is also sensible to ensure that the stylus tip is protected. Most conventional cartridges come with
an attached stylus protector.
• Dust, dirt and other surface grime should be removed from the unit, the stylus tip and any records to be played on the unit. Take
care so as to avoid damage. We suggest using a dry soft cloth.
• Please take care when transporting this unit, or packing for storage. It is best to use the original packaging materials provided in
either case. Should this not be possible, then please take care to wrap the platter and the unit separately, and to ensure that the entire
unit is kept in a dry place out of direct sunlight. Before wrapping please remove the stylus and to avoid damage to the tone arm,
please set the tone arm in the tone arm clamp and apply a reasonable amount of tape to ensure that it does not move.
• To avoid feedback or hum, locate the speakers and the turntable is a suitable position. Feedback is often caused by the vibration of
speakers, which in turn affects sensitive cartridges, producing a poor sound. If such occurs, relocate the turntable or speakers so as
to be as far apart from each other as possible. Hum is often caused by nearby appliances that use a transformer or thermostat.
Relocating the units again as far away as possible to the source will help with this problem. Hum may also be produced if the
grounding wire is not securely fasted to the mixer or amplifier.
