Your INVICTUS is able to handle up to four tonarms at

The turntable will start with the last used speed. To
change speed press the right button and the speed will

During the speed up of the platter you will hear some
noise which will disappear after some seconds. This is
normal and caused by giving the motors more power
during speed up to decrease the time the platter needs
to reach its final speed.
8. Connecting the motor electronic
Use the provided blue and red cables to connect the
motor electronic and the turntable. Both units have
clearly marked blue and red sockets on their backside.
You can place the motor electronic at any place you
want. Please take care to avoid signal cables to cross
the red or blue cables if possible.
