Just an indicator of when you should take your tt's in for tuning. When they spin irregularily you need to get them repaired/tuned.

if you put your pitch to zero and the biggest circle is still moving then it needs a reset or somthing like that.

The dots on the platter co-relate with the pitch control.
They've been around before the Technics 1200 was in existance. :)

I use them when mixing, for I find it faster to match two songs together then, relying on the percentage reading next to the slider.
