INTRODUCTION:

Congratulations on purchasing the Gemini TT-1000/TT-1100USB high torqe belt driven turntable. This unit is backed by a 1 year warranty*. Prior to use, we suggest that you carefully read all the instructions. TURNTABLE INSTALLATION: 1. Make sure you have placed the platter securely on the spindle and made sure that the MOTOR DRIVE BELT is in place. 2. Put the SLIPMAT on the PLATTER. 3. Set the TURNTABLE BASE on a flat, level surface free of vibration. Use the turntable feet to stabilize the unit horizontally. 4. Try to place the unit as far away from the speakers as possible. 5. Keep the unit away from direct exposure to the sun, heat, moisture or dirt. 6. Keep the unit well ventilated. HEADSHELL INSTALLATION: Insert the HEADSHELL into the front of the tubular TONE ARM. While holding the HEADSHELL firmly in a horizontal position, turn the LOCKING NUT counter clockwise until the HEADSHELL is locked in place. Be sure not to over tighten the LOCKING NUT. COUNTERWEIGHT INSTALLATION: 1. Slide the COUNTERWEIGHT onto the rear of the TONE ARM with the numbered stylus gauge facing forward. 2. Twist the COUNTERWEIGHT counter clockwise lightly, to screw it onto the rear of the TONE ARM. ADJUSTING HORIZONTAL ZERO BALANCE AND STYLUS PRESSURE: 1. Without touching the stylus tip, remove the stylus protector (if your cartridge has a detachable one. 2. Release the ARM CLAMP and lift the TONE ARM off the ARM REST. 3. Counter clockwise advancement of the COUNTERWEIGHT will cause the cartridge side of the TONE ARM to be lowered, turning it clockwise will cause the opposite. Turn the COUNTERWEIGHT clockwise or counter clockwise as needed until the TONE ARM is balanced horizontally. You can easily tell this by watching for the point where the TONE ARM "floats" freely. 4. Place TONE ARM on ARM REST and lock it in place with the ARM CLAMP. 5. With the TONE ARM locked on the ARM REST, hold the COUNTERWEIGHT steady with one hand while rotating the STYLUS PRESSURE RING until the numeral "0" on the ring aligns with the center line on the TONE ARM rear shaft. The HORIZONTAL ZERO (0) balance should be completed. 6. Re-float the TONE ARM to ensure HORIZONTAL ZERO (0) balance. If zero balance has not been maintained, repeat steps 3 - 5.

CONNECTIONS:

MAIN POWER RECEPTACLE: Connect the detachable linecord (included in the box with your TT-1000/TT-1100USB) to the power receptacle, and plug the other end of the linecord into an AC outlet. The TT-1000/TT-1100USB has a universal power supply that can accept any AC voltage from 100 VAC to 240 VAC. No need for voltage select switches. It will work virtually anywhere in the world. It is less susceptable to voltage sags or spikes than conventional power supplies, providing greater electro magnetic isolation and better protection against AC line noise GROUNDING SCREW: You will need to ground the RCA cable(s) by screwing in the grounding fork(s) to the GROUNDING SCREW located on the rear panel of the mixer. PHONO RCA OUTPUTS: This set of outputs carries the audio signal from the turntable portion of the unit and should be connected to an appropriate phono-level input on your audio mixer. ALSO SEE ADDITIONAL TT-1100USB INFO SECTION BELOW.

ASSEMBLY & SETUP:

MOTOR DRIVE BELT 1. Start by placing the rubber DRIVE BELT around the inner bottom ring of the turntable PLATTER. This should come preinstalled, but check to make sure that it is not twisted or damaged. 2. Install the PLATTER on the center spindle and press it down firmly. Check to make sure that it rotates uniformly and does not wobble excessively. 3. Rotate the PLATTER so that one of the holes is aligned with the Start Stop button on the front corner of the turntable. The brass motor spindle should be visible through this hole. 4. Reach into the hole and pull the rubber DRIVE BELT off of the inner ring, and install it over the motor spindle. Be careful not to twist the rubber DRIVE BELT during this step. Check to make sure the PLATTER rotates uniformly. If the DRIVE BELT is properly installed, there should be a slight amount of tension that brings the PLATTER to a stop after spinning it freely.

FUNCTIONS:

POWER SWITCH: The POWER SWITCH turns the unit ON or OFF. Make sure the switch is in the OFF position prior to making any connections. START/STOP BUTTONS: These buttons start and stop the turntable motor. Both buttons have the same function. If they seem to not be functioning, check to make sure that the Motor Drive Belt is properly installed in the SETUP INSTRUCTIONS. MOTOR ON/OFF: This button allows you to start or stop the rotation of the platter. SPEED SELECTOR: Select the desired speed by depressing the 33, 45 or 78 (33 & 45 simultaneously) SPEED SELECTOR button. REVERSE: Push the REVERSE button to play your track in reverse. Push the REVERSE button again to cancel this feature. 45RPM RECORD ADAPTER PITCH SLIDE CONTROL: The TT-1000/TT-1100USB is equipped with a PITCH SLIDE CONTROL. When the PITCH SLIDE CONTROL is in the center position, the speed will be 33, 45, or 78 depending on which SPEED SELECTOR button is pushed. When the PITCH SLIDE CONTROL is positioned off center, the pitch can vary 10% or 20% depending on which Pitch setting was selected and the position of the PITCH SLIDE CONTROL. TARGET LIGHT: Plug the TARGET LIGHT into the RCA STYLE JACK, located adjacent to the PLATTER. Turn the POWER switch to the "ON" position, at which point the TARGET LIGHT will light up. COUNTERWEIGHT: Attach the COUNTERWEIGHT to the back of the tonearm, with the number scale facing forwards, by turning the weight counterclockwise. ANTI-SKATE ADJUSTMENT: This knob is used to compensate for inward tracking forces. HEADSHELL/TONE ARM LIFT: Using the handle on the HEADSHELL to carefully position the TONE ARM over the desired position on the record. Lower the TONE ARM slowly, while letting go of the TONE ARM over the record where you want to play. You may also use the TONE ARM LIFT to raise and lower the TONE ARM. ARM CLAMP: Release the ARM CLAMP found on the ARM REST When play is over, raise the TONE ARM, move it onto the ARM REST, and secure it with the ARM CLAMP.
