WEIGHT (8) will cause the cartridge side of the TONE ARM (7) to be lowered; turning it clockwise will cause the opposite. Turn the COUNTERWEIGHT (8) clockwise or counter clockwise as needed until the TONE ARM (7) is balanced horizontally. You can easily tell this by watching for the point where the TONE ARM (7) “floats” freely.

4.Place TONE ARM (7) on ARM REST (11) and lock it in place with the ARM CLAMP (10).

5.With the TONE ARM (7) locked on the ARM REST (11), hold the COUNTERWEIGHT (8) steady with one hand while rotating the STYLUS PRESSURE RING (9) until the numeral “0” on the ring aligns with the center line on the TONE ARM (7) rear shaft. The horizontal zero (0) balance should be completed.

6.Re-float the TONE ARM (7) to ensure horizontal zero

(0) balance. If zero balance has not been maintained, repeat counterweight steps 3 - 5.

7.After adjusting the horizontal zero (0) balance, turn the balanced COUNTERWEIGHT (8) counter clockwise until the cartridge manufacturer’s recommend stylus pressure appears on the STYLUS PRESSURE RING (9) where it meets the center line of the TONE ARM (7) rear shaft.

ADJUSTING THE ANTI-SKATING CONTROL:

Set the ANTI-SKATING CONTROL (12) to the same value as the stylus pressure.

NOTE: IF YOUR TURNTABLE CAME WITH A CN-1000 CARTRIDGE, IT HAS A RECOMMENDED TRACKING FORCE OF 3.0 GRAMS AND CAN HAVE RANGE FROM 2.5-3.5 GRAMS.

CONNECTIONS:

1.Plug the AC power plug into an appropriate outlet.

2.See Table A for proper connection of the output RCA plugs and ground connector. Make sure that all the plugs are firmly plugged into the appropriate jacks (phono inputs).

NOTE: TO REDUCE HUM, MAKE SURE THE GROUND LUG IS FIRM- LY CONNECTED TO THE GROUND SCREW.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS:

BASIC OPERATION:

1.Place a record on the SLIPMAT (4) which sits on the PLATTER (2).

2.Select the desired speed by depressing the 33 or 45 SPEED SELECTOR (16) button.

3.Turn the POWER (13) switch to the “ON” position, at which point the TARGET LIGHT (14) will light up, TAR- GET LIGHTS (14) are an optional accessory available at your local retailer.

4.Remove the stylus protector (if applicable to your car- tridge).

5.Release the ARM CLAMP (10) found on the ARM REST (11).

6.Push the START/STOP (15) button. The turntable PLATTER (2) will start to spin.

7.Carefully position the TONE ARM (7) over the desired position over the record. Lower the TONE ARM (7) slow- ly, while letting go of the TONE ARM (7) over the record where you want to play.

8.When play is over, raise the TONE ARM (7), move it onto the ARM REST (11), and secure it with the ARM CLAMP (10).

9.You now have the option of turning off the power by turning the POWER (13) switch to the “OFF” position, or stopping the PLATTER (2) by pushing the START/STOP (15) button.

INTERRUPTING PLAY:

1.Pushing the START/STOP (15) button will cause the record to stop exactly when the START/STOP (15) button is pressed while playing.

2.Press the START/STOP (15) button again to start play- back with a short DELAY effect.

ADJUSTING THE PITCH CONTROL:

1.The TT-02 MKII is equipped with a PITCH CONTROL (17). When the PITCH CONTROL is in the center posi- tion, the speed will be 33 or 45 depending on which SPEED SELECTOR (16) button is pushed.

2.When the PITCH CONTROL (17) is positioned off cen- ter, the pitch can vary ±10% depending on the position of the PITCH CONTROL (17).
