INITIAL SETUP

ESSENTIAL SETUP

1. Place the unit on a flat and level surface. The selected location should be stable and free from vibration.
2. Install the turntable lid on the hinges.
3. Remove the tie-wrap that is holding the tonearm.
4. Install the turntable platter and drive belt accordingly.
5. Place the slip mat on top of the turntable platter.
6. Slide Tonearm Counterweight onto the tonearm and twist it lightly onto the rear shaft of the tonearm.
7. Adjust the counterweight to set proper stylus pressure.
8. Connect the AC adaptor to the Power Jack of the unit.

NOTE
 Do not plug the AC power adaptor to the power outlet before all the assembly is completed. Before turning the power on, make sure again all the connection settings are correct. Always turn off the power when connecting or disconnecting.

TONEARM COUNTERWEIGHT ADJUSTMENT FOR STYLUS PRESSURE

1. Remove the stylus protector from the cartridge and avoid touching the stylus tip during the adjustment.

2. Release the tonearm Hold Down Clip, gently hold the tonearm and move it away from the Tonearm Rest. At this point, the tone arm is unbalanced and free to swing.

3. Lift up the Tonearm from its rest and gently hold it. The tonearm is unbalanced at this point.

4. Carefully rotate the Counterweight towards the front of the turntable until the tonearm is horizontally balanced and hovers freely just above the platter without the stylus touching the platter surface.

5. Return the tonearm to the Tonearm Rest and lock the Hold Down Clip.

6. While holding the counterweight steady without any rotation, rotate carefully only the Downforce Scale Dial until the “O” on the scale lines up with the centerline marked along the top of the tonearm.

7. Rotate the counterweight including the downforce scale dial counter-clockwise (as seen from the front of the turntable) to adjust the pressure to the stylus manufacturer’s recommendations.

NOTE:

• Each mark on the scale represents 0.05 g (gram).
• The recommended pressure for the factory-installed cartridge is 3.5 g.

NOTE
The cartridge only goes up to 1.75g. You will need to make two full rotations to reach 3.5g.

TURNTABLE PLATTER AND BELT SETUP

1. Put the drive belt around the Turntable Hub, and then use the provided drive belt assembly tool to help pull the belt to fit around the slot of the motor pulley.
2. Place the turntable platter through the turntable spindle.

STEREO SYSTEM CONNECTION

RCA JACKS

• The RCA jacks of this unit are shared as both the Phono output jacks and the Line output jacks. They are determined by the Phono/Line Switch.
• When used as a Line Output, the jack’s output analog line-level signals could be connected directly with a pair of active speakers or the appropriate input of your stereo system.
• When used as a Phono Output, they should be connected to the phono pre-amp or the phono input of the stereo system.
• The Red plug connects with the Right channel and the White plug connects with the Left channel.

NOTE

• If the Phono/Line switch is set at LINE position but RCA jacks are connected to the stereo system’s phono input, the sound might be distorted due to input overload and could damage your stereo system.
• If the Phono/Line switch is set at the PHONO position but the RCA jack is connected to the stereo system’s line input, the volume will be very low due to lacking signal pre-amplification.
• RCA Jack is not designed to be connected directly to the passive/unpowered speakers and if it does, the volume will be very low.

SPRING CLIP SPEAKER TERMINALS

The spring-clip speaker terminals deliver amplified, speaker-level signals as output and should be connected with the passive speakers.

BLUETOOTH OPERATIONS

1. Turn the Function Knob to Bluetooth mode, you will hear an activation sound from the unit.
2. Turn on the Bluetooth feature of your audio device, search for “Angelshorn 05” and pair.
3. Once your device is successfully paired with the unit, you will hear a short confirmation sound from the unit.
4. Play and stream music from your device to the unit.

NOTE
Bluetooth version – 4.2

TURNTABLE OPERATION

1. Press the Power Switch to turn on the power.

2. Set the Function Knob accordingly.

3. Place the record on the turntable. Use the 45 RPM Adapter if necessary.

4. Remove the stylus protector from the stylus assembly.
   NOTE
   To avoid stylus damage, make certain the included stylus guard is in place whenever the turntable is being moved or cleaned.

5. Release the tonearm Hold Down Clip.

NOTE
 when the turntable is not in use, remember to lock back the hold-down clip.

6. Use the Cue Lever to lift up the tonearm.
7. Gently move the tonearm over the record where play is desired to begin. Set the Cue Lever back to the down position, the tonearm will descend slowly onto the record and begin to playback.
8. When the record is finished playing, use the Cue Lever again to raise the tonearm and then return it to the Tonearm Rest. Release the lever to let the tonearm sit back at its rest. To suspend the playback, repeat the same steps.
9. Lock the Hold Down Clip to secure the tonearm.

REMOVING NEEDLE

1. Gently pull down the front edge of the needle.
2. Pull needle forward.

Frequently Asked Questions

• What’s the deal with my vinyl not playing?
  While dirt or dust on the record is the most likely cause, you could also have a balance issue. You may need to improve the balance of the arm or the stylus cartridge if it is not balanced properly. The technique of re-balancing your arm or cartridge may differ depending on the record player you own.

• What’s the point of putting a penny in a record player?
  Pennies serve as anchors, allowing the needle or stylus to be grounded to the vinyl record. This “penny on the record” motion usually occurs when the needle in the turntable is damaged or stressed, causing it to not thread properly into the grooves of the vinyl.

• Do you keep the record player’s felt?
  While your record is playing, you can store the felt cover inside the record jacket. Even if your turntable has a plastic cover, it is always a good idea to utilize both when not in use. Using both will ensure that no dust or scratches occur, causing any components to be damaged.

• Are GPO turntables of decent quality?
  For those looking to purchase a new vinyl record player, the GPO Stylo is an affordable and high-quality option. It has a nice appearance, a pleasant sound, and provides excellent value for money. There isn’t anything to criticize about this fantastic product.

• Why isn’t my record player playing music?
  If your turntable does not have an internal preamp, make sure the external preamp is turned on and that all RCA and grounding cables are securely connected. Check to see if your speakers or amplifier are turned on. Remove the stylus protector (1) from the stylus (2) before playing back. Make sure it doesn’t come off with the stylus.

• What’s the best way to get my record player to work?
  Turn on the power and place a record on your turntable. Typically, the power switch is found under the turntable, on top of the turntable, or on the motor. Remove the tonearm from its rest and check that the cueing lever is up. Alternatively, if you have a completely automatic turntable, simply move it.

• How can you tell if your turntable is malfunctioning?
  There are audible and physical signs that indicate when your stylus needs to be replaced. On the audible side, if your stylus is old or damaged, your records will not sound as well. More distortion, crackling, static, and overall fuzziness will be heard.

• Do record players on the cheap skip?
  Again, this degrades the sound quality of your vinyl recordings and damages the grooves. The needle will also skip across the record as a result of this. Crosley, Jensen, 1byone, ION, and other brands that import these cheap turntables from China have a well-known problem.

• Do record players cause records to be ruined?
  These things generate wear and tear that isn’t immediately noticeable. It’s subtle, but if you play a record a lot and put a lot of pressure on the cartridge/stylus/needle, the record may ultimately show noticeable damage in the form of “groove wear,” which appears as white discoloration in the grooves.

• Is it possible to handle vinyl records?
  Only hold the vinyl record at its outside borders to prevent your body oils from transferring onto the record’s surface. If you touch the record’s surface, you run the danger of getting dirt on it and maybe destroying it.
