RCA audio cable

B PHONO EQ (audio output setting) switch

ON
Audio signals that have been amplified by the built-in phono equalizer amp are output from the analog audio output connectors (L/R).
THRU
The signal from the stylus is output directly through the analog audio output connectors (L/R). Use this when connecting to equipment that has PHONO inputs.

• When shipped new from the factory, this is set to ON.

ATTENTION
When set to ON, if connected to the PHONO inputs of an amplifier, for example, the output from speakers and headphones will be very loud, which could damage equipment or harm hearing.

C DC input connector

After completing audio cable connections, connect the included AC adapter here. Confirm that the power plug of the AC adapter is plugged into a power outlet.

• Do not use any AC adapter other than the one included.
• The included AC adapter has plugs that can be changed. Attach the plug that suits the region where it is being used.

Be sure to connect the power cord to an AC outlet that supplies the correct voltage. Connection to an outlet that supplies incorrect voltage could cause fire or electric shock.

Handling records

Holding records
When holding a record or removing it from its sleeve, avoid touching the grooves by holding the record by its label and edge with one hand or by holding it by its edge with both hands.

Cleaning

• Fingerprints and dust on a record can cause noise and the sound to skip, as well as damage the record itself and the stylus. Use a commercially available record cleaner to
  clean records. Do not use thinner or anything other than a record cleaner. Such chemicals could harm the surface of the record.

• When using a record cleaner, wipe the surface of the record in a circular motion, following the grooves.

Precautions

• Do not leave records in places that are exposed to direct sunlight or are very hot or very humid. Leaving a record in such a condition for a long time could result in warping, mold growth, or other damage.
• Do not stack multiple records or place heavy objects on top of them. Do not leave records at an angle for long amounts of time, either. Doing so could result in warping or other damage.
• Do not allow hard objects to directly touch the audio grooves. Doing so could cause scratches.
• After you finish playing a record, always put it back into its sleeve for storage. Leaving a record unprotected could result in warping or scratching.
• Do not use cracked records.

Dust cover

Attaching the dust cover

1. Insert the hinges completely into the hinge holders at the left and right ends of the back of the main unit.
2. Align the tops of the hinges with the dust cover hinge holders and insert them.
   o Close the dust cover during playback. Doing so prevents stylus skipping caused by unintended contact and protects the stylus tip from outside sound pressure.
   o Do not open or close it when a record is playing. Doing so could, for example, cause the stylus to skip.
   o Keep it closed whenever possible to keep dust out.

Removing the dust cover
Hold both edges of the dust cover and lift it slowly to remove it along with the hinges from the unit. Then, remove the hinges from the dust cover.
Opening and closing the dust cover

Opening
Hold the front edge of the dust cover and gently lift it open completely until it stops.
The dust cover will stay open in this position.
Closing
Gently lower the dust cover until it is closed.
**** Be careful not to pinch your fingers, for example, when opening and closing the dust cover.

Basic operation

Playing records

ATTENTION
Do not vibrate the unit during playback. Doing so could cause the sound to skip and damage the record and stylus.

1. Press the STANDBY/ON button on the back of the unit to turn it on.

2. Open the dust cover slowly.
   **** Be careful not to pinch your fingers, for example, when opening and closing the dust cover.

3. Place a record on the platter.
   When playing a 45 RPM large-hole single record, use the included adapter.

4. Select the rotation speed indicated on the record.
   The rotation speed can be set to 33 1/3, 45, or 78 RPM.

5. Move the tonearm clasp to the right to release the tonearm.
   

6. Push the tonearm lifter lever toward the back (up position).
   o You can also move the tonearm above the record when the tonearm lifter lever is in the down position. Slowly lower it to start playback.

7. **Move the tonearm to the track when you want to start playback.

ATTENTION
**o Always remove the protective cover (white) before use. Keep this protective cover to protect the tip of the stylus during transportation.
o The first song starts at the outer edge of the record. Lower the stylus to the outer edge of the record if you want to listen to the first song.

8. Use the tonearm lifter lever to lower the tonearm.
   The tonearm lowers slowly until the stylus touches the record and playback begins.
   o Close the dust cover during playback. Since doing this prevents skipping caused by unintended contact and blocks external sound pressure, it makes noise less likely to occur.
   

Do not place anything on the dust cover.

ATTENTION

• During playback, do not touch the tonearm or the rotating record. Doing so could damage the stylus tip and cause scratches on the record.
• Do not forcibly stop platter rotation during playback. Since this product is not a turntable designed for DJs (direct drive), doing something like this could cause malfunction.

If the volume is too loud during record playback, vibration from speakers could be transmitted to the stylus, causing loud feedback. If this happens, lower the volume of the amplifier.

When playback finishes

When playback finishes, the tonearm automatically returns to the tonearm holder and the rotation stops. To manually interrupt playback, use the tonearm lifter lever to raise the tonearm and then return the tonearm to its resting position.

• The tonearm may not return to the tonearm holder automatically depending on the record. In that case, move the tonearm back to the tonearm holder manually.

Notes about record styluses

• Record styluses are precision parts, so handle them carefully to avoid bending or damaging their tips. If a stylus becomes bent or damaged, it might not be able to follow the audio groove precisely and could damage records or cause other malfunctions.
• If a stylus becomes dirty, use a commercially available stylus cleaner or a similar product to clean it.

Replacing the stylus

If the tip of the stylus becomes worn, not only will it worsen sound quality, it could also damage records. After about 400 hours of playback time, replace the stylus with one that
we specify.

Please use an Audio-Technica ATN3600L replacement stylus.

• An Audio-Technica AT3600L VM Type cartridge is installed in this unit.
• Follow the replacement instructions in the manual of the replacement stylus.

ATTENTION

• Before replacing the stylus, turn this unit and the amplifier off. Failure to do so could cause sudden loud noises that might damage speakers.
• Be careful not to hurt your hand or the equipment.
• Be careful not to allow small children to accidentally swallow styluses.
• Be aware that bent styluses, for example, that result from insufficient customer caution or an outside cause are not covered by the warranty.

To remove old stylus , hold the cartridge in one hand, grasp the plastic stylus housing with your thumb and forefinger, and pull diagonally down away from the cartridge. The stylus assembly comes away at a slight angle.
To install the replacement stylus , insert the new stylus assembly into the cartridge at a slight angle, so the hook at the end of the stylus fits into the slot in the cartridge body. The stylus assembly should click into place when fully seated on the cartridge. The stylus must be fully seated on the body for proper operation.
