Setting Up the Turntable

Before First Use

1. Place the turntable on a flat and level surface. The selected location should be stable and free from vibration.

2. Remove the tie-wrap that is holding the tonearm.

3. Remove the stylus cover and keep for future use.

CAUTION To avoid stylus damage, make sure that the stylus cover is in place when the turntable is moved or cleaned.

Stylus cover

1. Connect the AC adapter to the DC IN jack on the turntable.

Using the Turntable

1. Turn the power/volume knob clockwise to turn on the turntable.

2. Adjust the speed selector to 33, 45, or 78 rpm, based on the label on your record.

Note: Set your turntable to 33 if the record indicates a speed of 33 1/3 rpm.

1. Turn the mode knob to choose your audio output:

In Phono mode the status indicator is green. If you connect an amp (between the turnable and speaker), use Phono mode. The Phono signal is weaker than a LINE signal and needs the help of a preamp to properly amplify the sound.

In Bluetooth mode the status indicator is blue. See "Connecting to a Bluetooth Device" for pairing instructions.

In LINE IN mode the status indicator is amber. If you connect speakers directly to the turntable, use LINE IN mode. See "Connecting an Auxiliary Device" for instructions.

1. Place a record on the turntable. If needed, place the 45 rpm adapter over the turntable shaft.

2. Release the tonearm from its clip.

Note: After pairing, the turntable stays paired to your device until it is manually unpaired or your Bluetooth device is reset.

Connecting an Auxiliary Audio Device

Connect an audio device to play music through your turntable.

1. Connect the 3.5 mm cable from the AUX IN jack to your audio device.
2. To enter LINE IN mode, turn the mode knob to LINE IN. The LED indicator is amber.

Connecting to RCA Speakers

The RCA jacks output analog line-level signals and can be connected to a pair of active/ powered speakers or your stereo system.

Note: The RCA jacks are not designed to connect directly to passive/unpowered speakers. If connected to passive speakers, the volume level will be very low.

Cleaning and Maintenance

Cleaning the Turntable

Wipe external surfaces with a soft cloth. If the case is very dirty, unplug your turntable and use a damp cloth soaked in a weak dish soap and water solution. Allow the turntable to dry thoroughly before using.
Clean the stylus using a soft brush with back and forth movement in the same direction. Do not touch the stylus with your fingers.

Replacing the Stylus

Caring for Records

Hold records by the label or edges. Oil from clean hands can leave residue on the record surface that gradually deteriorates the quality of your record.

Edge Label Grooves

Store records in a cool, dry place inside their sleeves and jackets when not in use.

EN

• Store records upright (on their edges). Records stored horizontally will eventually bend and warp.
  Do not expose records to direct sunlight, high humidity, or high temperatures. Long exposure to high temperatures will warp the record.
  If a record becomes dirty, gently wipe the surface in a circular motion using a soft anti-static cloth.
