Pioneer PLX-1000 Manual

Before start

Features

This unit is a professional turntable that provides functions, durability, operability and sound quality suitable for a wide range of occasions, from listening at home to disco or club scenes

Direct drive system that achieves high torque
The unit turns at a constant speed with 0.1% or less wow and flutter, 4.5 kg·cm or more starting torque and start time of 0.3 seconds (at 33 1/3 rpm).

Design focused on high sound quality

• For the RCA terminal, we adopted a gold plated component made of the same cutting product as the TAD player, which is our flagship brand. A stable connection directly transmits the PHONO signal.
• External vibration effects are suppressed by the use of vibration suppression material between the top and bottom cabinet.

Highly accurate, 3-level adjustable tempo control

• Tempo variable width can be adjusted to ±8%, ±16%, and ±50%.
  This provides highly flexible playback.
• Pressing the [RESET] button instantly returns the tempo to ±0% constant rotation.

Detachable power cord and audio cables

• Cables are not obstacles when the main unit is moved, thus preventing disconnection problems.
• By replacing the audio cable, it is possible to customize the unit to deliver the preferred sound.

Adjustment

Adjusting the tone arm balance

• Because the cartridge and headshell weights differ depending on the product, the balance of the tone arm is adjusted.

Prepare as follows.

• Remove the stylus cover and arm clamper while paying attention not to touch the stylus tip.
• Push down the lifter lever.
• Set the [ANTI SKATING] dial to "0".

Keep the tone arm from the arm rest and adjust the balance so it is horizontal.
Turn the balance weight until the tone arm becomes almost horizontal.

• When moving the tone arm, make sure that the stylus tip does not directly touch the turntable and the like.

Adjusting the stylus pressure

• To prevent stylus jumping or sound distortion, the stylus pressure is adjusted to the appropriate stylus pressure value determined for each cartridge.

Prepare as follows.

• Return the tone arm to the arm rest and secure with the arm clamp.

1. Match the "0" on the stylus pressure adjustment ring to the center line of the arm rear shaft.
   While using your finger to hold the balance weight to keep it from moving, turn only the stylus pressure adjustment ring so that the number "0" comes to the black center line of the tone arm rear shaft.
   
2. Adjust the stylus pressure.
   Turn the balance weight to adjust to the appropriate stylus pressure value for your cartridge.
   
   • When turning the balance weight, the stylus pressure adjustment ring turns together. While observing the adjustment ring, adjust the stylus pressure to the appropriate value.

Using the balance weight attachment scale
It is recommended to remember the balance weight scale position of your shell with cartridge because you can set the appropriate stylus pressure by simply setting to the set balance weight scale position without adjusting the tone arm horizontal balance.

1. Attach your shell with cartridge to the tone arm.
2. Using the value set for the balance weight, adjust the balance weight attachment scale position.

Adjusting anti-skating

This adjustment is made to prevent stylus jumping.

Match to the same scale position as the stylus pressure value.
Turn the [ANTI SKATING] dial to match the reference line to the same value as the cartridge stylus pressure value.

When scratch play is performed
To prevent stylus jumping, adjust the scale position to match the play action.

Adjusting the arm lifter height

If necessary, perform adjustment to match the cartridge being used.
Prepare as follows.

• Place a record on the turntable sheet.
• Remove the stylus cover and arm clamper while paying attention not to touch the stylus tip.
• Pull up the lifter lever and move the tone arm onto the record.

Adjust the height by turning the screw while the arm lifter is pushed down.

• Turing clockwise narrows the distance between the record and stylus.
• Turing counterclockwise widens the distance between the record and stylus.

The arm lifter height (the distance between the record and stylus when the lifter lever is pulled up) is factory-adjusted in a range between approximately 8 mm and 13 mm.

Adjusting the arm height

1. Turn the [HEIGHT ADJUST] lock to unlock the lock.
   
2. Push down the lifter lever and place the stylus on the record, then adjust the [HEIGHT ADJUST] dial to make the tone arm and record parallel.

Cautions on use

About condensation

Water droplets (condensation) may form inside the unit (on operating parts and lenses) in the winter, for example, if the unit is moved from a cold place into a warm room or if the temperature in the room in which the unit is installed rises suddenly (through heating, etc.). The unit will not operate properly and will not be playable with condensation inside. Let the unit stand for 1 to 2 hours at room temperature (though this time depends on the conditions of the condensation) without turning on the power. The water droplets will evaporate and the unit will become playable. Condensation can occur in the summer as well if the unit is exposed to the direct wind from an air-conditioner, etc. If this happens, move the unit to a different location.

When transporting the unit to another location

Use the original packing materials to pack the unit.
If the original packing materials are not available, be sure to perform the following.

• Detach the turntable sheet and turntable and pack carefully.
• Detach the headshell and balance weight from the arm and pack carefully.
• Use the arm clamper to secure the tone arm and use tape to secure it so that it does not move.
• Wrap the main unit in a blanket or soft paper so that it will not be damaged.

The Safety of Your Ears is in Your Hands
Get the most out of your equipment by playing it at a safe level – a level that lets the sound come through clearly without annoying blaring or distortion and, most importantly, without affecting your sensitive hearing. Sound can be deceiving. Over time, your hearing "comfort level" adapts to higher volumes of sound, so what sounds "normal" can actually be loud and harmful to your hearing. Guard against this by setting your equipment at a safe level BEFORE your hearing adapts.

ESTABLISH A SAFE LEVEL:

• Set your volume control at a low setting.
• Slowly increase the sound until you can hear it comfortably and clearly, without distortion.
• Once you have established a comfortable sound level, set the dial and leave it there.

BE SURE TO OBSERVE THE FOLLOWING GUIDELINES:

• Do not turn up the volume so high that you can't hear what's around you.
• Use caution or temporarily discontinue use in potentially hazardous situations.
• Do not use headphones while operating a motorized vehicle; the use of headphones may create a traffic hazard and is illegal in many areas.
