BEFORE USE

1. Choose the unit installation location carefully. Avoid placing it in direct sunlight or close to a source of heat. Also avoid locations subject to vibrations and excessive dust, cold, or moisture. Keep away from sources that hum, such as transformers or motors.
2. Do not open the cabinet as this may result in damage to the circuitry or electrical shock. If a foreign object should get into the set, contact Customer Service.
3. Be sure not to handle records with dirty fingers. Never play a record that has a crack on the surface.
4. When removing the power plug from the wall outlet, always pull directly on the plug, never pull the cord.
5. To protect the stylus, don’t forget to put on the white protective needle cover after use.
6. Do not attempt to clean the unit with chemical solvents as this might damage the finish. Use a clean, dry cloth.
7. In order to shut off the power to this product completely, unplug the power cord from the wall outlet. Be sure to unplug the unit if you do not intend to use it for an extended period of time, such as a vacation.
8. Keep this manual in a safe place for future reference.

ASSEMBLY

7. Remove the 45rpm adapter and place it in its new home located in the top right corner of the record player.

POWERING YOUR STIR-IT-UP TURNTABLE

Your Stir It Up turntable uses an AC power supply and is powered by a standard wall outlet.

1. Insert the AC power supply into Stir It Up.
2. Insert the wall plug into an appropriate wall outlet.

EASY TO USE

1. Connect the AC power supply to the household outlet.

4. Lift and move the tonearm to the turntable. Place the tone arm on the edge of the record and the record starts playing.

5. Assemble the balance weight and set it to a proper position.
   NOTE: The balance weight is to adjust the pressure of the needle. If the pressure is too much, the sound will become distorted; if the pressure is too little, track skipping will easily happen. Please adjust the balance weight by turning the balance weight clockwise or counter-clockwise.

6. To pause or stop playing, you need to lift and move the tone arm back to the tone armrest manually.

7. When the end of the record is reached, the tonearm and rotation stop. Lift the tone arm and place it on to the tone armrest manually.

NOTES:

• Remove the needle cover before you balance the tone arm.
• Hold the tone arm whenever you make any adjustment or action so as to protect its tonearm.
• Do not try to adjust the balance weight while playing a record as this could break the needle and scratch the record.

• Do not stop or turn the platter manually. Moving or jarring the turntable without securing the Tonearm clamp could result in damage to the Tonearm.

ANTI-SKATING

Normally the anti-skating should be set to its minimum setting. Anti-skate compensates for inward tracking forces that occur with certain pick-ups when the stylus nears the center of the record. If the turntable is experiencing excessive skipping while nearing the center spindle, try increasing the anti- skating in the increments indicated on the dial. Start by adding an increment of 1, test its performance, then increase it more, and so on.
NOTE: During adjusting the anti-skating knob, leave the tone arm and balance weight alone to prevent damaging the stylus (needle).
