3 Applications

The turntable DJP-300USB is suited both for pri-
vate applications and for professional DJ appli-
cations. It is equipped with a phono preamplifier
and therefore also allows connection to a line
input.
For digitizing records, the DJP-300USB has
a USB interface to connect a computer. An audio
recording software will also be required. Various
programs are available as freeware on the Inter-
net.
4 Mounting and
Basic Adjustments
The turntable platter, the headshell, the counter-
weight for the tone arm and the turntable are
wrapped individually to prevent damage during
transport. After unpacking all parts of the turn -
table, it is recommended to save the original
.
packing material for any future transport.
With the recessed handles (15) on its sides,
the turntable can be carried conveniently. Place
the turntable on a flat, horizontal surface.

4.1 Assembling the turntable

1) Put the turntable platter on the axle of the
turntable.
2) Turn the platter with your hand until one of the
two outer holes is near the front Start / Stop
button
motor is visible (fig. 2).
3) The rubber drive belt (b) is visible through the
hole in the platter. Seize the drive belt and
wrap it around the drive axle.
4) Put the felt slipmat supplied on the platter.
Due to the felt slipmat, scratch effects will be
created when the record is turned manually.
(19) and the drive axle (a) of the
4.2 Mounting the counterweight for the
tone arm and the headshell
1) Remove the counterweight (8) from its wrap-
ping and put it on the rear end of the tone arm
(13) until it engages. The counterweight is
used to adjust the stylus pressure (
ter 4.3).
2) Remove the headshell (17) from its wrapping,
put it on the front end of the tone arm and fas-
ten it with the cap nut (16).

4.3 Adjusting the stylus pressure

1) Set the anti-skating knob (9) to "0".
2) Remove the protective cap from the stylus
towards the front.
3) Set the tone arm lever (10) to the front posi-
tion.
4) Open the lock (11) for the tone arm (13) to the
right. Seize the handle (22) of the tone arm
and carefully lead it just before the turntable
platter so that it will move up and down freely.
Caution! The stylus must not hit against any-
thing.
5) With your left hand, lead the tone arm to the
side so that the stylus will not hit the turntable
platter. With your right hand, turn the coun-
terweight (8) so that the tone arm will stay
exactly in a horizontal position without mov-
ing up or down (fig. 3).
– If the tone arm moves upwards, turn the
counterweight counter-clockwise.
– If the tone arm moves downwards, turn the
counterweight clockwise.
6) Return the tone arm to it support and secure
it with the lock (11).
7) The counterweight is provided with a black
rotary scale ring. Without turning the counter-
weight, set the ring to "0" (fig. 4), i.e. the "0"
must be at the top.
8) The scale indicates the stylus pressure in
grams. For the phono cartridge system pro-
vided, a stylus pressure of 3.5 g is required.
For this purpose, turn the counterweight
including the ring counter-clockwise until
"3.5" is at the top (fig.5).
For other phono cartridge systems, adjust
the stylus pressure according to the corre-
sponding specifications.
4.4 Anti-skating adjustment
The skating force occurring when playing a
record will slightly pull the tone arm towards the
centre. This will be compensated by the anti-
skating adjustment. For this purpose, turn the
anti-skating knob (9) so that the arrow next to the
rotary knob will point to the value corresponding
to the stylus pressure, i. e. 3.5 for the phono car-
tridge system provided.
5 Connecting the Turntable
Switch off the turntable before making connec-
tions or changing any existing connections.
1) Connect the stereo output OUT (6) via an
audio cable with RCA plugs to the correspond-
ing input on the amplifier or mixer:
a When connecting an input for a turntable
with magnetic system, set the sliding
switch PHONO / LINE (5) to the position
PHONO.
b When connecting an input for units with
line level (possibly marked LINE, CD, AUX),
set the sliding switch PHONO / LINE to the
position LINE.
