Frequently asked questions

How do I adjust the turntable speed?

Adjust the belt to the desired motor pulley step using knob 16. The speed is pre-selected when the turntable is off and engages when powered on.

What is the tracking force adjustment range?

The tracking force can be adjusted from 0 to 30 mN (0 to 3 g) using the helical spring in the spring case.

How do I check the platter speed with a stroboscope?

When the platter rotates at the correct speed, the stroboscope lines appear stationary. If they move forward, the speed is too high; if backward, too slow.

What are the power requirements for the turntable?

The turntable operates on AC 50 or 60 Hz, with voltage options of 110–125 V or 220–240 V, and consumes approximately 10 watts per speed.
