FEATURES The PMC-26 is a high end performance turntable designed for the beginners and the professionals with the same basic quality as the best selling turntable, the PDT-5000. ANTI SKIPPING TONE-ARM SYSTEM, TRACING HOLD BALANCE SYSTEM New designed A. S. T. S(Anti Skipping Tone-arm System) and TH(Tracing Hold) balance TONE-ARM system protect skipping performance in hard scratching. And this TONEARM provide adjustment mechanism of tone-arm height which Vestax Turntable series have generally. FAST STARTS BY HIGH TORQUE Using high-torque direct motor, the integral motor delivers 1. 6kg· cm start torque. The high-torque gives quick starts that enables the platter to reach 33-1/3 rpm within 0. 3 second. FLOATING SUSPENSION TONEARM The tone-arm is mounted on the deck plate using a floating suspension system with the drive motor. Acoustic feedback is minimized by this advanced system. QUARTZ-PHASE-LOCKED CONTROL The pitch is variable continuously by up to approximately 10% and returned automatically to the predetermined speed (33-1/3 or 45 rpm) by on/off switch even if the pitch control is employed. NON-CENTER-CLICK PITCH FADER P i t ch fader has no center cl i ck, and it allows delicat e adjustment easily. Should there be no such pack i n g materials, be sure to take the following steps. Remove the turntable platter together with the turntable mat, and wrap it up to prevent any damage to them. Return the tone-arm to the arm rest, and affix it with tape or the like. Remove the balance weight and the headshell/cartridge from the tone-arm and then wrap them up to avoid and damage to them. Wrap up the turntable base with a blanket or soft paper also to prevent any possible damage to it. ACOUSTIC FEEDBACK AND HUM Acoustic Feedback is usually cause by vibration of speaker, which affects the sensitive cartridge. If such a phenomenon occurs, relocate the turntable or speakers as far apart from each other as possible. Hum is usually cause by nearby appliances that use transformer or thermostat. Relocating the unit further away from the noise sources will readily s o l ve the pro blem. Hum may also be produced if the grounding wire extending from the unit is secure ly connected to the GND terminal on the amplifier of mixer. 3 A. S. T. S(Anti Skipping Tone-arm System) A. S. T. S(Anti Skipping Tone-arm System) has been developed with years of experience and a number of trials, searching for the innovative tone-arm for professional DJ's. This system breaks all of the historic common sense, achieving its non skipping performance in hard scratching. A. S. T. S consists of two inventions, short/straight arm and TH (Tracing Hold) balance system. TH balance system gives horizontal movement in addition to vertical. [. . . ] but the value of span has error 0. 9% because of limit of electric function. The display indicate the value of pitch exactly. So that value will be indicated of the display than the position of PITCH FADER VOLUME. 2 PITCH BEND RANGE SELECT Moving the stick controller down, the pitch speed is set in minus direction. Moving the stick controller up, the pitch speed is set in plus direction. [. . . ]
