POWERING YOUR STIR IT UP TURNTABLE

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

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

EASY TO USE

Connect the AC power supply to the household outlet.
Rotate the OFF / 33/45 knob to turn on the unit and Select the speed according to the record you are playing.

Lift and move the tone arm to turntable. Place the tone arm on the edge of the record and the record starts playing.
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.
To pause or stop playing, you need to lift and move the tone arm back to the tone arm rest manually.
When the end of the record is reached, the tone arm and rotation stop. Lift the tone arm and place it to tone arm rest manually.

When the record is finished the tone arm will automatically stop. To stop manually, lift the tone arm from the record and return it to the rest.

NOTES:

Remove the needle cover before you balance the tone arm.
Hold tone arm whenever you make any adjustment or action so as to protect the tone arm.
Do not try to adjust the balance weight while playing a record as this could break the needle and scratch the record.
Re-secured the tone arm before transportation to protect the needle.
Remove the balance weight before transportation to prevent damage or breakage to the unit.
Do not stop or turn the platter manually. Moving or jarring the turntable without securing the Tone arm clamp could result in damage to the Tone arm.

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-up when the stylus nears the center of the record. If the turntable is experiencing excessive skipping while nearing the center spindle, try increase 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).
