I'm selling my excellent Technics SL-DZ1200 unit to help free up some cash as I don't use it that much these days.

I first bought this late August 2006 so is under a year old and is still under manufacturers warranty. It is in excellent condition and has very few surface marks. It has been very well looked after and hardly used in the time that I've had it.

It comes complete with all cables such as power, phono leads, instructions and original box required to get started.

These currently retail new for over £600 and I'm selling it for £450 with postage included and sent by recorded delivery. It is also being sold on various other forums and ebay so be quick to snap up a bargain!

I have sold various items through cliosport.net with no complaints and so can be trusted. Feel free to check-out my previous selling threads. My nick on there is Stevo_evo where the item is also for sale.

I would prefer payment via cheque although can do paypal.

Feel free to PM me regarding any questions.

For those not in the know about this superb piece of kit here is the official word.

Technics SL-DZ1200

The Technics SL-DZ1200, the world’s first Direct-Drive Digital Turntable, looksâ€â€and more importantly feelsâ€â€like spinning wax on a classic 1200. The distinctive slip surface on the 10" platter lets you spin, scratch, break, and otherwise work a track in a number of formats, including CD, MP3 and AAC. Along with its realistic vinyl feel and classic direct drive, the SL-DZ1200 also lets you store, playback, scratch and loop sampled media from a removable SD memory card. About the size of a postage stamp, these cards store all your favorite samples, songsâ€â€even whole albums. And although they won't ever be able to replace vinyl, they're a whole heck of a lot easier to carry around than a crate of records. It looks like Technics is about to kick off a whole new era for the DJâ€â€again.

The Technics SL-DZ1200, the world's first Direct-Drive Digital Turntable, looks-and more importantly feels-like spinning wax on a classic 1200. The distinctive slip surface on the 10" platter lets you spin, scratch, break, and otherwise work a track in a number of formats, including CD, MP3 and AAC. Along with its realistic vinyl feel and classic direct drive, the SL-DZ1200 also lets you store, playback, scratch and loop sampled media from a removable SD memory card. About the size of a postage stamp, these cards store all your favorite samples, songs-even whole albums. And although they won't ever be able to replace vinyl, they're a whole heck of a lot easier to carry around than a crate of records.

The new digital turntable allows DJs to play several music formats, including CD-DA, AAC, and MP3. To add to the DJ's performance, the new unit allows sampled data to be digitally stored on a removable and reusable SD Memory Card - a feature that offers high-speed data access, huge storage capacity, and super portability. With the postage stamp-sized card, DJs can transport their music from one location to another or even download music samples* on their personal computer.

The Technics Direct-Drive system, which incorporates the platter as an actual component of the motor, was introduced with the SP-10 in 1969 as a way to eliminate the drag, inevitable breakage and slow start-up speeds associated with belt-driven players. With the reliable rotation, instant response and long life you have come to expect from Technics analog models, the SL-DZ1200 boasts the same quartz crystal controlled Direct-Drive that has been the choice of professional DJs for over thirty years.

It's easy to adjust to the SL-DZ1200. With adjustable break and start-up speeds, a 10" platter, vinyl simulation effects and slip surface combined with its familiar look & feel, the SL-DZ1200 sounds and responds just like your analog decks.

The SL-DZ1200 lets you find a cue point, save it and return to it at the touch of a button. Four self-illuminating cue pads allow you to set, save and seamlessly cue from exactly the point of your choice. It can memorize 50 sets (more if stored on an SD card) of 10 cue points as individual "albums." Each "album" also stores your settings for the four cue pads, loop points, auto cue condition and effects. As soon as your SD memory card or disc is loaded, your pre-saved settings are instantly available.

Sample pads allow for editing, overlapping and playing back multiple samples. By sampling musical phrases, using the editing function to set the In and Out points, looping and mixing various samples, you can play the SL-DZ1200 like an instrument and use it to create original compositions.

The SD memory card is a removable, reusable device about the size of a postage stamp, and is capable of holding hours of media. Using the SZ-CB8 SD Audio Recording Kit, you can store your samples, scratches, breaks-even whole albums-and play an entire set using just a couple SD memory cards.

The big, easy to read central display lets you know your exact BPM, elapsed time, and remaining time, as well as other track and play data. Adjust the display angle for easy reading in traditional or battle style play.

A heavy, die cast aluminum body, rugged CD mechanism and double spring insulator feet provide exceptional vibration resistance.

Change the tempo of a track without affecting its pitch throughout the DZ-1200's entire (±8-±50) pitch range.

Switch from forward to backwards play, and then back again without missing a beat. And you can adjust the precision to suit your needs--use the "Instant Change" button to make the switch instant, or flip it off to drag, stop and spin-up the track.

The Free Wheel, not available on jog dial CD decks, this feature gives you the ability to free wheel or coast like on an analog deck with the push of a button.
