1) STROBE DOTS The dots around the edge of the platter are used in conjunction with the light located inside the motor ON/OFF switch. While the platter is in rotation, the dots help to indicate the speed of rotation. The speed is lower than the displayed speed (33,45,78) when the dots are flowing to the right. It is higher than the displayed speed (33,45,78) when the dots are flowing to the left. When the strobe is stopped, the platter is rotating at the displayed speed. 2) MOTOR ON/OFF SWITCH As opposed to analog turntables, this is not the power switch. This switch only turns on or off the motor. Rotate clockwise to turn on the motor. The platter will not start spinning until the start/stop button has been pressed. Rotate counter-clockwise during playback (off position) for a slow winding down effect. 3) START/STOP Press this button to start or stop the platter.
