Frequently Asked Questions - Pureness Auna

How to install the tonearm counterweight?

Slide the counterweight onto the back of the tonearm until it stops, then turn it clockwise until it clicks. Then turn it to align the marker with '0' (force 3 g), then turn it inward to increase force (1 g per turn). The recommended force is 4 to 6 grams.

Why is there no sound when I play a vinyl?

Check that the Phono/Line switch is correctly positioned: if you are using a line input (auxiliary) on your amplifier, set it to 'EQ ON'. If you are using a phono input, set it to 'Phono Thru'. Also ensure the tonearm is not locked and the stylus is not protected.

How to record a vinyl record to my computer?

Connect the turntable to your PC via the USB cable. Install the free software Audacity. In Audacity, go to Preferences > Devices, select 'Audio device 2-USBPnP' for input and output, and set channels to '2 (Stereo)'. Start recording with the red button, then play the record.

How to adjust the turntable speed?

During playback, turn the treble adjustment knob (3): turn clockwise to increase speed, counterclockwise to decrease. Adjust until you get the desired sound.

What to do if the turntable stops before the record ends?

Set the auto stop switch (6) to 'OFF'. The record will play to the end, but you will need to manually lift the tonearm and return it to its rest, then turn off the device.

How to clean the stylus or turntable?

Use a soft, dry cloth to clean the casing. For the stylus, use a special brush or stylus cleaning fluid. Never wet the device or put any liquid into openings.

Can I connect the turntable directly to speakers?

No, the Line Out output requires an amplifier or hi-fi system with an auxiliary input. Connect the turntable to your amplifier's auxiliary inputs with RCA cables. The Phono/Line switch must be set to 'EQ ON' if using a line input.

What type of stylus is provided?

The manual indicates a cartridge with stylus in micro ceramic. The manufacturer's recommended tracking force is 4 to 6 grams. If you change the stylus, follow the cartridge specifications.

Can the device play 45 RPM records?

Yes, the turntable supports both speeds: 33 1/3 and 45 RPM. Use the speed selector (4) to choose the correct one.

How to reset the tracking force after moving?

Turn the counterweight back to the '0' position (force 3 g), then turn it forward to reach the desired force (4-6 g). Refer to the manual diagram for precise alignment.

Listening and exporting to mp3

To listen to your digitized audio, you will need a third party application that can play wav files. You can also use any standard audio CD burning software to burn your wave files to an audio CD.

If you would like to save your vinyl recordings as MP3 files after recording them using AUDACITY, you will need to install the optional "LAME MP3 ENCODER" plug-in to the software provided on the CD. Once a file is in MP3 format it can be played on any MP3 compatible mobile digital device.

In AUDACITY, when you attempt to EXPORT AS MP3... for the first time after installing the lame MP3 encoder plug-in, you will be asked for the location of the plug-in file. Browse to the LAME MP3 PLUGIN FOLDER you copied the plug-in file to and select the file. Subsequently, audacity will remember the location of this file.
