Yes it is manual; it is a good looking tt.
Specs are quite similar to the YP-D6, a smaller engine, the arm is 0,4mm shorter 221,6mm (YP-D6 222mm).

Dates to 1978/79.

My YP-D6 has a dot on the side of the headshell that you line up the needle with. Check and see if you have this "dot" on the side of the D3 headshell.

Plugged the arm data into my calculator. It coincides exactly with Stevenson null points. Download Stevenson protractor from VE and you're on your way.

.3 x .7 elliptical, 1-2g tracking force. Looks pretty decent, possibly the precursor or runner up to the 681 series of carts.
