Introduction

Read this manual thoroughly before using the product, and keep it handy for future reference.

The TT-M1 is a special controller for the TAS-CAM CD-X series of CD players (hereafter referred to as CD-X). When a record player equipped with the TT-M1 is being used to conduct scratching, the controller detects the turntable's rotating direction and speed and transfers them to the CD-X. The CD-X then plays back the scratching on a CD with great accuracy.
