Let’s Get Started Attach the Counterweight The counterweight controls how much pressure the stylus will put on a record. If there is too much pressure, the sound will become distorted. If there is too little pressure, the stylus will skip out of the grooves on a record. The tone arm should be balanced without the protective cover over the stylus, as it will affect the weight. Be careful not to damage the stylus while the cover is removed.
Power Plug the DC power adapter into a standard wall outlet and the DC Power Input on the unit. Loading a Record • Place your record on the platter, aligning it with the center spindle. • Set the speed selector dial to match your record type - 33, 45, or 78. If you are playing a 45rpm record, be sure to place the 45rpm adapter on the platter first, so that it is between the platter and the record. • Remove the protective cover on the stylus, then release the lock on the tone arm.
Connecting to a Bluetooth Speaker 10 • Start by enabling Pairing Mode on the Bluetooth Speaker you want to use. Before beginning the pairing process, be sure no other devices are connected to the speaker. • On the turntable, turn Bluetooth Mode ON by adjusting the switch on the back of the unit. • Press the Pair button on the turntable to begin pairing to your speaker. The indicator light on the turntable will quickly flash blue while it attempts to connect to the speaker.
Connecting to External Speakers • Use an RCA audio cable to connect to a pair of external speakers. Connect the Line Out ports on the turntable to the corresponding color-coded ports on the speakers. • Set the selector switch on the back of the turntable to Line Out to send audio to the speakers. • IMPORTANT! If you are connecting the turntable to speakers through a preamp, set the switch on the back of the turntable to Phono.
Hints and Tips Anti-Skating The Anti-Skating dial adjusts the inward tracking of the tone arm on the record. Usually, the dial should be left in its lowest setting. However, if the turntable is experiencing excessive skipping as the record plays, increase the anti-skating effect in increments of 1 using the dial. Pitch Adjustment The Pitch Adjustment dial will increase or decrease the speed of the platter as it spins. This can be used to fine tune the speed of the record as it plays.
