   2.3 Launch Audacity.
   If Audacity is already running when you connected the cable, choose Transport

   Rescan Audio Devices or restart Audacity.
   2.4 Project Rate
   Set the Audacity Project Rate in Selection Toolbar at the bottom left of the Audacity screen to 44100 Hz:2.5 Devices
   Use Device Toolbar to set the recording and playback devices and to set the recording channels to “2 (Stereo) Recording Channels”, as in the below example on Windows 10:
   • The Recording Device is set to the USB device (in this case the device name, but often called or including the phrase “USB Audio CODEC”).
   • Recording Channels is set to stereo.
   • The Playback Device is set to the named speakers of the built-in computer sound device.
   • These settings can also be changed in Devices Preferences.
   Windows calls most USB external devices “microphones”. Some higher-end USB recording interfaces may appear as their explicit manufacturer’s name.

3. Software Playthrough
   Use Transport > Transport Options > Software Playthrough (on/off) and click “Software Playthrough” to turn it “on” (the checkmark is shown when it is “on”).
   This setting can also be enabled or disabled in Recording Preferences. Software Playthrough lets you hear the turntable through the computer speakers when recording. It also lets you hear the turntable without recording if you turn on monitoring (see the next section below).

4. Monitoring
   Enable monitoring to set the recording level
   • Turn monitoring on by clicking once on the microphone icon in the Recording Mete• In Mixer Toolbar, turn up the left-hand playback volume slider (by the speaker icon).• The right-hand recording volume slider (by the microphone icon) can often be used to vary the loudness of the recording, but it may not function with all turntables.
   If it does not, try adjusting the output level on the turntable (often, there is a gain control under the chassis).
   Alternatively, you may be able to adjust the input level on Windows and Linux only, usually by looking for the speaker icon by the system clock. On Windows, right- click over the speaker icon > “Recording Devices”. Then right-click over USB Audio Codec, choose “Properties” and click the Levels tab.
   • Try to aim for a maximum peak of around –6 dB, which corresponds to around 0.5 on the waveform. You can always boost the level later with Effect > Amplify… or Effect > Normalize… after you have completed editing.

5. Recording
   Then, ignoring any instructions in the manufacturer’s guide to select “stereo mix”, simply press the Record button in Transport Toolbar to start recording from the turntable.
   6. Recording, editing and exporting
   Once your USB turntable is set up and working properly, go to the Basic Recording, Editing and Exporting section of Audacity’s Tutorial – Copying tapes, LPs or MiniDiscs to CD for instructions on how to:
   • make and edit your recording
   • export it to an audio file
   • import it to iTunes or Windows Media Player

Care

Turntable Body

• When the turntable body is dirty or dusty, first disconnect the AC adapter and then wipe off the dirt and dust with a soft, dry cloth.

• Do not use benzenes, thinners, etc.

• When storing the product for a long time, disconnect the AC adapter from the outlet and wrap the product in plastic; do not allow it to become damp; the drive belt should be removed to prevent unequal stretching.
  Tips for Stylus Cleaning

• If dirt and grime are stuck to the stylus tip, clean it with a commercially sold brush.

• We recommend using a stylus cleaner (not included) if the stylus tip is considerably dirty.
  Clean the stylus tip by moving the brush from the rear to the front of the stylus tip.

Replacing the Stylus

It’s suggested to replace the stylus after 400 hours of use.
Removing the Stylus

• In addition to the deterioration of sound quality, records may also be damaged as the cartridge’s stylus tip wears down.
• Be sure to disconnect the product’s AC adapter from the outlet.
• When replacing the stylus, hold the headshell and the cartridge body tightly.
  Rotate the front of the stylus in a forward and down motion.

Installing a New Replacement Stylus

1. Mount the new replacement stylus to the cartridge.
2. Lift the stylus up until you hear a click.
3. Make sure there is no gap between the headshell and the cartridge.

Replacing the Belt

• The belt is a consumable part. Replace the belt if the speed of playback slows down or irregular rotation occurs. As a rule of thumb, we suggest replacing the belt once a year.
• Before replacing the belt, be sure to disconnect the product’s AC adapter from the outlet.

1. Remove the slip mat.
2. Remove the main platter and then remove the old belt.
3. Loop the new belt around the sub-platter and motor pulley.
4. Using your hands, slowly rotate the platter ten times in the direction of the arrow.
5. Place the main platter back onto the sub-platter.

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 headshell that are securing the cartridge and then remove the original cartridge.

4. Mount the new cartridge to the headshell and tighten it lightly. Do not completely tighten the screws at this moment.

5. Connect the wire leads to the new cartridge’s terminals .The wire lead color codes are as below:
   Wire| Channel
   ---|---
   White| Left channel positive (L+)
   Black| Left channel negative (L–)
   Red| Right channel positive (R+)
   Black| Right channel negative (R-)

6. Adjust the cartridge’s position to make sure it is precisely aligned on the headshell so that the stylus will be appropriately tracking within the grooves.
   To achieve this, place the included paper cartridge alignment protractor over the turntable spindle, carefully lift the tone arm, and place the tip of the stylus on the points marked 130mm and 250mm respectively. Fine tune the cartridge’s position on the headshell until the cartridge is perfectly in parallel with the reference lines at both points.

7. Tighten the screws completely once 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.

When the Turntable is Moved

Using the product’s original packing materials, wrap the turntable in the reverse order from when you unwrapped it. If you do not have the packaging materials, take the following measures:

• After disconnecting the AC adapter from the outlet, remove the felt mat and platter, and then wrap them so that they do not get damaged.
• Attach the protector to the cartridge.
• Use a string or something similar to tie the tonearm to the rest so that it does not become dislodged.
• Wrap the turntable body with paper or a soft cloth so that it does not get damaged.
