GENERAL SYSTEM PRECAUTIONS
IMPORTANT INFORMATION...
Please read this entire manual before connecting the unit to
your system.
•
Use appropriate cables throughout your system: Quality
shielded audio cables and terminated shielded video
cables, low-capacitance preferred. Speaker cables must be
14-gauge minimum; 12- or 10-gauge is better.
For optimum performance:
1. Always make sure that AC power is OFF while making
any connections.
•
•
Be sure plugs and jacks are tightly mated. Loose
connections can cause hum, noise or intermittent that
could easily damage your speakers.
2. Do not force the platter to stop moving while the
motor is engaged. Quality slipmats should be used to
hold records in position. Forcing the motor to stop
can damage the motor assembly.
Reliability will be enhanced through the use of banana
connectors on the speaker wires. Observe correct speaker
wire polarity. If in doubt, consult your
or a qualified technician.
dealer
3. Never use spray cleaners or oils on the slide control.
Residues cause excessive dirt build-up and this will
void your warranty. In normal use slide controls can
last for many years. If they malfunction (usually
because of a dirty or dusty environment)
•
•
Take care to connect only one cable at a time. Pay
attention to the color-coded, labeled Input and Output
jacks.
4. Never attempt to make any adjustments or repairs other
than those described in this manual. Take the PRO TT-2
ALWAYS remember: “TURN AMPS ON LAST AND
OFF FIRST”. Begin with master faders or volume
controls on minimum and the amplifier gain/input
control(s) down. Wait 8 to 10 seconds before turning up
the volume. This prevents transients, which may cause
severe speaker damage.
to your dealer or to an authorized
Center.
Service
5. Do not place the unit in a location where it will be
exposed to direct sun light or near a heating appliance.
•
•
Use restraint when operating controls. Try to move them
slowly. Rapid adjustments could damage speakers due to
amplifier clipping.
6. Do not place the unit in a location where there is high
humidity or a lot of dust.
7. Cartridge may pick up slight sound pressure or vibrations
of the speakers coming along the floor or through the air
resulting in howling. Find a location, which is very stable
and free of vibration.
Avoid amplifier “clipping” at all costs: this occurs when
the red LEDs (usually on the front panel of most
professional power amplifiers) start flashing. “Clipping” is
when the power amplifier is distorting and working
beyond it’s limits. Amplifier distortion is THE major
cause of speaker failure.
8. The legs have functions for adjusting the height of the unit
itself. Adjust the legs to stabilize the main body
horizontally.
•
To prevent fire or shock hazard, do not expose the unit to
rain or moisture. Never place cans of beer, soda, glasses
of water or anything wet on top of the turntable!
A NOTE ON CABLES:
Quality cable makes a big difference in audio
fidelity and punch. See your
dealer
or an electronics or audio specialist store if
you are not sure which cables to get.

To fully appreciate the features of the
PRO TT-2, please read this entire manual before you begin operation. The
PRO TT-2 should be placed on a level sturdy surface. Keep in mind that there are a few features you may never have seen before on a
turntable of this type that you will need to read about to use properly.
Start by removing all parts from the package and place on a level surface. Carefully check all packing material for hidden
parts. Use the contents guide for reference. Do not discard any packing materials!

26. Tone Arm Height Adjust - This allows the tone
arm to be properly align with the platter surface.
27. Height Lock - Prevents accidental adjustment of
the height.

34. Removable Lid - Protects the turntable from dirt and dust.
35. Hinge Assembly - Holds the lid and turntable together. Attach now by sliding the bottom tabs of the Hinge
Assembly into the Hinge Holders.
36. Platter Speed Output - This output is to be used with external devices that require platter speed information.
37. Remote Start/Stop - This is used with external control devices.
Tech note: This circuit is normally open. Use a momentary switch and a 1/4” mono plug, to change play
states of the unit.
38. Adjustable Feet - Turn feet to level the platter surface.
39. Phono Output - Plug these into your mixer or preamplifiers’ turntable input.
40. Ground Cable - Attach to the ground screw on your mixer or preamplifier to prevent turntable hum.
41. Power Cord - Plug this into an appropriate power outlet after checking your power setting switch (18) under
the platter. Note: Please refer to CAUTION on page 2 concerning proper use of power.
Your assembly should now be complete. Place your turntable on a vibration free level
surface and attach to your mixer or preamplifier. If you are using the turntable for slip
cueing, scratching, or beat mixing music you will want to use a slipmat and not a rubber
mat. Do not force the platter to stop moving while the motor is engaged. Quality slipmats
should be used to hold records in position. Forcing the motor to stop can damage the
motor assembly.

GENERAL OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
1. Turn the power dial to turn on and the speed indicator and the strobe-illuminator will light up.
2. Turn on and raise the target light for illuminating the stylus tip by pushing the target light button.
3. Place a record on the turntable mat. When playing a 45rpm record with a large center hole; place the 45-
rpm adapter on the center spindle.
4. Set the rotation speed (33/45/78) to match the record.
5. Release the arm clamp.
6. Set the cueing lever to the up position.
7. Press the Start/Stop button and the turntable platter will start to rotate.
8. Move the tonearm over the desired groove.
9. Set the cueing lever to the down position, the tonearm will descend slowly onto the record and play begins.
10. Set the desired pitch adjust range by depressing the QUARTZ button until the desired pitch is reached.
Options are +/-10% or +/-20%.
11. Adjust the pitch to a desirable speed. During play, observe the strobe dots. If the strobe dots appear to the
right, the pitch is slower than the rated speed. If they flow to the left, the pitch is faster than the rated speed.
If the strobe dots appear stationary, which means the platter is in normal turntable speed, move the pitch
control slider up or down to adjust the speed.
12. To suspend play, lift tone arm with cueing lever.
13. When play is finished, raise the cueing lever, move the tonearm to the armrest and secure the tonearm with
the arm clamp.
14. Turn off the target light off by pushing the light back down.
15. Press the Start/Stop button to stop the platter rotating.
16. Turn the power dial to turn off the power.
MAINTENANCE
Routine maintenance should be performed by cleaning the stylus periodically with a soft brush to
prevent the accumulation of dust. When the sound becomes distorted or noisy, check the stylus. If it is worn
out, replace with a new one. From time to time, the dust cover and turntable cabinet should be wiped with a
soft, dry cloth. Use of any volatile materials as alcohol, thinner, benzene, etc., may remove the paint or damage
the luster and should not be used.
