Trouble shooting
1. Depending on the condition of the record disc, it may not be possible to measure correctly.
(End groove position deviates significantly from the record standard, color record
Label is close to the end groove.Sound groove is close to the end groove, etc.)
2. If the warp of a record disc is too large, the stabilizer may be shaken too much and accurate
measurement may not be possible.
3. Since this product is a manual adjustment of the record position by the customer, there is a limit
to the adjustment.
Button
Used to turn on the power. Push to turn on the power.
The unit is equipped with an automatic power off function.
The power can also be turned off from the display panel. (See P8)
Display panel
Used for displaying and adjusting eccentricity status and various settings.
It is a touch panel, so please operate it with your own fingers.
Details of the software are explained in the software description page.
Rear Screw
Use the supplied wrench (Allen wrench 1.5mm) to open the main body of the stabilizer when

Software1
When the record player is rotated, the upper part of the stabilizer is held to stop the rotation of the
stabilizer, and the stabilizer detects the rotation and shifts to the measurement mode.
When switch to the measurement mode, the display on the outer circumference of the stabilizer
starts to rotate and the [Tap to start measure] button is displayed.
Next, when you press the [Tap to start measure] button, the display changes to the [Measuring]
button and the measurement is completed in about 2 seconds.
If the end groove detection rate is low, a detection error warning mark appears.
Stop the record player when the measurement is complete.
Next, while looking at the stabilizer screen, press the record board to bring the cross mark (center of
rotation) as close as possible to the absolute center position.
The degree of eccentricity of the record is indicated by the color of the screen (outer circumference,
cross mark & display bar at the bottom).
Measuring Measurement Completed
*Please be sure to rotate the record player (33rpm or 45rpm) when measuring eccentricity.
If the record player is not rotating, the stabilizer will not enter the measurement mode.

variably according to the amount of eccentricity.
If the color is red, the eccentricity is more than 300µ, if yellow, it is about 150µ, and if the mark
"The center is ok" appears, the eccentricity is less than 20µ.
