Can I connect the turntable to external speakers?

How do I record vinyl to a computer via USB?
Connect the turntable to your computer using the included USB cable. Install Audacity or similar recording software. Select 'USB Audio Device' as input and start recording while playing a record.
How should I clean and maintain the stylus?
Use a stylus brush (included or purchased separately) to gently brush the stylus from back to front. Clean it before each play to remove dust and debris. Avoid touching the stylus tip.
The turntable is not spinning. What should I do?
Check that the belt is properly fitted around the platter and motor pulley. If loose or broken, replace the belt. Ensure the power adapter is connected and the switch is on. If still not spinning, contact support.
