pitch adjust allows you to speed up or slow down the platter speed so that you can adjust it to exactly 33 1/3 or 45 RPM as desired.
Use the provided stroboscope to adjust the pitch as you slide it up/down. When the speed it correct, the squares on the side of the platter will become stationary; when the speed is wrong, you'll see the squares either moving right or left.
Pitch reset should allow you to bring back this adjustment to the factory settings.

So to play safe should I press the RESET Button on everytime I play so that it plays at perfect speed?

Jani, if you are located in India, the frequency of the mains varies VERY significantly, from time to time, making the Strobe practically useless.
