Function Instructions

This is a vinyl record player specially made for vinyl records. When you use it for the first time, you need to assemble the vinyl record player. This vinyl record player has no built-in speakers. To listen to the sound on a vinyl record, connect to an audio device with an audio cable, or use the BLUETOOTH function to connect to an audio device that supports BLUTOOTH wireless technology, such as wireless speakers or wireless headphones.

Power on/off

Use of record player

• Remove the stylus protection cover 7;
• Lift up the tonearm lift lever 5;
• Move the tonearm so that the stylus position is in the vinyl disc; lower the lift lever.

Maintenance and Cleaning

• Your turntable requires little of no regular maintenance. Remove dust with a slightly damp antistatic cloth. Never use a dry cloth, this will create static electricity and attract more dust!
• Antistatic cleaning agents are available at specialist stores, but must be applied sparingly to avoid damage to rubber parts. It is recommended to install the needle cover before cleaning or maintenance is carried out to avoid damage.
• If the turntable is not used over a long period of time, the drive belt should be removed to prevent unequal stretching.

Cartridge Replacement

1. Before replacement, put the stylus protector back on the stylus to prevent damage to the stylus during the replacement process.
2. Carefully remove the wire leads from the original cartridge.
3. Loosen the two screws on the head shell that are securing the cartridge and then remove the original cartridge.
4. Mount the new cartridge to the head shell and tighten it lightly. Do not completely tighten the screws at this moment.
5. Connect the wire leads to the new cartridge’ s terminals.
6. Adjust the cartridge’ s position to make sure it is precisely aligned on the head shell so that the stylus will be tracking the grooves in parallel perfectly. Fine tune the cartridge’s position on the head shell until the cartridge is perfectly in parallel with the the reference lines at both points.
7. Tighten the screws completely once the perfect alignment is achieved.

Note: If you are unfamiliar or uncomfortable with completing this procedure, we recommend consulting with a professional to perform the installation.
