Operation

Reverse mode can be switched on and off when the platter is completely stopped, OR while it is already spinning / rotating.

To switch between forwards and reverse ( and vice versa ), the start-stop switch is pressed for > 1 second / 1000ms.

At first glance, this may not seem very long, but in normal use, you barely press the start-stop switch for 1/10 of this duration.

When in reverse, the 33 or 45 RPM speed switch LED's, which are usually lit steadily, will flash on and off twice a second.

This is your visual cue that the turntable is in reverse mode - this indication is essential to the DJ if the platter is stationary :

Audio notification mode

In addition to the visual (blinking LED) cue, you can be alerted of the platter direction, whether reverse or forwards, with tones.

This is particularly useful if you are not looking directly at the turntable, or you are playing or practising in a home enviroment.

To disable, or conversley enable audio notification mode, the start-stop switch must be tapped very, very briefly ( <20ms ).

Normal operation of the start-stop function is unaffected, as it is virtually impossible to toggle the audio mode by accident.

When changing direction from forwards to reverse direction, two short tones will be heard in quick succesion : ---- ----

Conversley, when changing the platter direction from reverse to forwards, a single long tone will be heard : --------

By default , audio notification is active when the turntable is switched on - the sounder can be removed, if it is not required.
