[. . . ] Anti-Skate Adjustment This knob is used to compensate for inward tracking forces. See tonearm setup for more details on its settings. Secondary Tube Lock Collar This collar is used to secure the tonearm tubes (straight or sshaped) to the tonearm assembly. WARNING: DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN THIS LOCK COLLAR!WARNING: CONNECTING HEADSHELLS TO THIS COLLAR MAY DAMAGE THE INTERNAL PIN HEIGHTS OF THE CONTACTS!ONLY CONNECT NUMARK TUBES TO THE SECONDARY TUBE LOCK COLLAR. Arm Clip This specially designed arm clip secures the tone arm while it is being transported or not in use. The arm clip has been designed to remain in the up position while unlocked. Tonearm Cue System This cueing system allows the tone arm to be positioned at a certain point above the record and slowly engaged. When the lift lever is in the up position the tone arm should rest on the armrest. When the lift lever is lowered, the tone arm is slowly lowered until the stylus is resting on the record. Tone Arm Lock Nut This Aluminum nut is used to secure the head shell and cartridge assembly to the tone arm tube. Start by inspecting the bottom of the aluminum platter to check that both locking pins have rubber fittings on them. Next, rotate the platter spindle so that two holes are aligned parallel with the front of the turntable. Carefully install the platter onto the center spindle and motor assembly making sure that the Numark logo and the two holes are aligned parallel with the front of the turntable. The two locking pins should drop into the top of the spindle assembly for a stable and secure fit. If they do not, grasp the center spindle with one hand while rotating the platter with the other until the locking pins drop into place. If the platter is properly installed, it should not wobble and should rotate smoothly without any noise. 1. Locking Pins 2. ALIGNED 3. 4.

NOTICE: Interchanging tonearm tubes unnecessarily may shorten the life of the tonearm tubes and/or tonearm components. This turntable features the world's only tonearm assembly capable of accommodating two different tonearm tube styles: S-Shaped and Straight. The S-Shaped tube produces a higher signal to noise ratio with most cartridge assemblies. The Straight tube is ideal for heavy back-cueing or scratching. [. . . ] Too much weight on a cartridge may cause erratic skipping or stylus damage. Another guideline that may reduce skipping is back cueing and adjusting playback tempo by applying pressure towards the center of the record near the spindle as indicated below. Skipping induce by rapid cueing or scratching may be reduce by applying inward pressure to the side of the record instead of applying pressure down on the record (see diagram below. ) PAGE 13 OPERATION Problem Turntable does not turn on.
