CONNECTIONS  
1) Connect the power cord to an AC outlet.  
2) Connect the RCA cable to the PHONO input of your mixer. You can also use a line input by setting the phono/line  
switch at the rear of the turntable to Line.  
Note: This turntable has separate analog and digital circuits. If you are looking for a purely analog signal, use the  
Phono output. For access to the Key Lock feature use the Line output or S/P DIF output.  
TONE ARM AND CARTRIDGE SETTINGS  
The major cause of problems in sound and skipping on the vinyl is the lack of proper set up of the needle and  
turntable adjustments. The needle is designed to operate at a specific angle to the vinyl. The T.80 has several  
adjustments to correctly position the needle to the vinyl.  
The first adjustment is the correct installation of the cartridge.  
Your cartridge is to be mounted into the headshell as pre the mounting instructions included with the cartridge. The  
Stanton 500,680 and 890 series of cartridges require the use of the two screws mounting into the headshell. For your  
convenience, some of these products can be purchased already mounted and pre-adjusted from your local Stanton  
dealer. If you are using these 1/2” mounted products with a headshell in a mobile application or you are doing heavy  
scratching, May want to use an extra shell weight. The Master series of products (Trackmaster, Groovemaster, etc.)  
are designed with their own mounting that eliminates the need for a separate headshell and the wiring to the  
cartridge.  
The body of the cartridge should be parallel with the centerline of the headshell-tone arm, when viewed from the  
front to the back.  
The second adjustment is at the installation of the cartridge-head-shell assembly into the tone arm tube lock.  
Holding the tone arm tube in one hand, insert the cartridge-headshell into the tube lock with the other hand. Turn  
the lock ring clockwise (when viewed from the rear) until the headshell is locked tightly into the tone arm. Remove  
the needle protector from the cartridge and place the needle on record. View the needle from the front and insure  
that the needle is perpendicular to the record surface. If some adjustment is needed, simply loosen the lock ring and  
rotate the cartridge-headshell until the needle is perpendicular to the record surface. Then re-tighten the lock ring.  
The third adjustment is the needle (or stylus) pressure. Start with the cartridge-headshell assembly mounted into  
the tone arm. Remove any needle protectors provided. With tone arm free, adjust the tone arm counterweight by  
rotating the rear section until the tone arm floats in a balanced condition above the record or mat. Do not allow the  
needle to drop onto the mat or the turntable platter during this adjustment. You might damage the needle tip. Now,  
carefully hold the tone arm in one hand while rotating the numbered ring on the front of the counter-weight with the  
other hand to the “0” setting. Next, without touching the numbered ring, Rotate the rear counterweight until the  
desired needle pressure reading is next to the line on top of the tone arm tube, see the instructions. Included with  
your cartridge for proper settings.

3) 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.  
4) SLIP MAT

6) MOTOR ON/OFF SWITCH  
As opposed to fully 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.
