The Safety of Your Ears is in Your Hands
Get the most out of your equipment by playing it at a safe level – a level that lets the sound come through clearly without annoying blaring or distortion and, most importantly, without affecting your sensitive hearing. Sound can be deceiving. Over time, your hearing “comfort level” adapts to higher volumes of sound, so what sounds “normal” can actually be loud and harmful to your hearing. Guard against this by setting your equipment at a safe level BEFORE your hearing adapts.

ESTABLISH A SAFE LEVEL:

Set your volume control at a low setting.
Slowly increase the sound until you can hear it comfortably and clearly, without distortion.
Once you have established a comfortable sound level, set the dial and leave it there.

BE SURE TO OBSERVE THE FOLLOWING GUIDELINES:

Do not turn up the volume so high that you can’t hear what’s around you.
Use caution or temporarily discontinue use in potentially hazardous situations.
Do not use headphones while operating a motorized vehicle; the use of headphones may create a traffic hazard and is illegal in many areas.

How to read this manual
In this booklet, the names of the buttons and terminals of the main unit appear in square brackets ([ ]).
Examples:

Press the [START/STOP] button.
If this product is connected to a pre-main amplifier or component that does not have a [PHONO] terminal, sufficient volume and sound quality cannot be obtained. In this case, use the PHONO equalizer.

Before start

Features

This unit is a professional turntable that provides functions, durability, operability and sound quality suitable for a wide range of occasions, from listening at home to disco or club scenes.

Direct drive system that achieves high torque
The unit turns at a constant speed with 0.1 % or less wow and flutter, 4.5 kg·cm or more starting torque and start time of 0.3 seconds (at 33 1/3 rpm).

Design focused on high sound quality

For the RCA terminal, we adopted a gold plated component made of the same cutting product as the TAD player, which is our flagship brand. A stable connection directly transmits the PHONO signal.
External vibration effects are suppressed by the use of vibration suppression material between the top and bottom cabinet.

Highly accurate, 3-level adjustable tempo control

Tempo variable width can be adjusted to ±8 %, ±16 %, and ±50 %. This provides highly flexible playback.
Pressing the [RESET] button instantly returns the tempo to ±0 % constant rotation.

Detachable power cord and audio cables

Cables are not obstacles when the main unit is moved, thus prevent-ing disconnection problems.
By replacing the audio cable, it is possible to customize the unit to deliver the preferred sound.

Cautions on use

About condensation
Water droplets (condensation) may form inside the unit (on operating parts and lenses) in the winter, for example, if the unit is moved from a cold place into a warm room or if the temperature in the room in which the unit is installed rises suddenly (through heating, etc.). The unit will not operate properly and will not be playable with condensation inside. Let the unit stand for 1 to 2 hours at room temperature (though this time depends on the conditions of the condensation) without turning on the power. The water droplets will evaporate and the unit will become playable. Condensation can occur in the summer as well if the unit is exposed to the direct wind from an air-conditioner, etc. If this happens, move the unit to a different location.

When transporting the unit to another location
Use the original packing materials to pack the unit.
If the original packing materials are not available, be sure to perform the following.

Detach the turntable sheet and turntable and pack carefully.
Detach the headshell and balance weight from the arm and pack carefully.
Use the arm clamper to secure the tone arm and use tape to secure it so that it does not move.
Wrap the main unit in a blanket or soft paper so that it will not be damaged.

Maintenance of each part
When attaching and detaching the headshell, turn off the power of the amplifier. If you attempt to do so while the volume is loud, the speaker could be damaged.

Remove the shell with cartridge and use a soft tip brush or writing brush to carefully remove dust, etc. from the stylus tip.
Use a good quality record cleaner to clean records.
Use a soft cloth or something similar to clean the headshell terminal and then reattach it to the tone arm.

Cleaning the dust cover, etc.
Use a soft cloth to clean the dust cover and cabinet Do not clean the dust cover while playing. Static electricity could cause the tone arm to be pulled by the dust cover.
