Super easy to use! Compare to other products this has got to be almost a plug and play product. Only took 2 minutes to learn how to use it (maybe because the excitement of trying it) also assuming you've used a turntable before. Manual? I only read the cut sheet to set it up and even that only took 3 or 4 steps! Playable? like I said almost a plug and play type of thing.

I like the ffact that it has to start and stop buttons. The only thing i would change are the needles. They went out on me after about a month. No worries though I went and brought the Shure M-44's.

The Srt-8 is hefty 36 lbs 10 more than a Technics 1200.
Excellent design layout for the club or battle dj in mind
The cool blue light for strobe and picth makes it bad meaning good!
Features

The 4.5 Hp motor most powerful in the game super fast start up. Never misses a beat or cue. The pack in Stanton 680 HP cartridge is a plus get's you up and running quick and sounds great. The straight arm is solid. The Pitch controls on the STR-8 is awesome you can even do Screw mixes. Reverse is great cool to use. Simple plug and play stylus light is practical and easy to change if needed And it's digital outs makes it cool for any studio application

After 30 years of being a Dj/Producer I left the industry standard Technics 1200 for the STR-8 and I can say I'm not missing the 1200's at all.
