RETRO PORTABLE TURNTABLE WITH USB RECORDING

GE-4077

This Digitech Retro Three Speed Turntable will allow you to enjoy your favourite vinyl records and albums wherever you go. Play music from 33, 45, and 78RPM records or use the USB or AUX inputs to play music from another device. The USB port can also be used to record music onto a USB stick. Please refer to the following instructions for how to use your turntable.

WARNINGS:

Please do not tamper with the product or pull apart the components to service the turntable. There are no serviceable parts inside.
Do not expose the turntable to rain or moisture.
Keep the turntable case closed when not in use to prevent damage from dust or dirt.
Do not stop or turn the platter manually (where the record sits). Always operate the turntable as per the following instructions.
Protect the stylus on the tone arm by ensuring it is locked into place during transit. Replace the protective cap on the stylus when not in use.

TURNTABLE PARTS GUIDE

TURNTABLE PARTS GUIDE CONTINUED

CONNECTING POWER

To turn the turntable on, rotate the volume control dial clockwise until you feel it click.
To turn the turnable off, rotate the volume control dial anti-clockwise until you feel it click.
The turntable is powered by either a mains power connection at the back of the turntable (using the included AC to DC adaptor), or internal battery.
Once the turntable is plugged into mains power, the internal battery will charge.
When the LED indicator is red, the battery is charging. The battery is fully charged when the LED indicator turns off.
The turntable should operate for up to 2 hours from a full charge.

LISTENING TO RECORDS

Remove the protective cap on the stylus. Ensure the tone arm is unlocked from the tone armrest.
Use the MODE button to select PHONO. The LED Indicator will be red.
Place the record on the platter, ensuring that the hole in the middle lines up with the central spindle. When playing 7 inch records, slide the Record Size Adaptor onto the central spindle (so it sits on top of the record).
Select the speed (RPM) to use with the record. Generally 12 inch albums work at 33 speed and 7 inch albums work at 45 speed. 10 inch albums are not common and work with various speeds. If the album doesn’t specify the speed to use, then select the speed you think will be most appropriate. You can change this at any stage.
Use the Lift Lever to elevate the tone arm. Use your finger to move the tone arm to the desired position above the record. Use the Lift Lever to lower the tone arm onto the record.
When the record is finished, the record will cease rotating and the tone arm will stop transmitting audio. Use the Lift Lever to elevate the tone arm from the record and move the tone arm back to the tone armrest.

AUTO-STOP FEATURE

Some records have an auto-stop area pre-set into the record, so the turntable may stop playing the record prior to completion of the last song.
To override this setting, set the Auto-Stop switch to the off position. This will ensure the record plays to the end.
Use of the Auto-Stop feature requires manual operation (otherwise when the record finishes, it will continue to spin and the tone arm will not stop transmitting audio).

USING THE RCA JACK

The turntable can be connected to an external stereo system or amplifier.
Connect the RCA line-out jacks (at the back of the turntable) to the auxiliary input jacks on the stereo or amplifier. You will need RCA cables (not included).
The turntable’s volume control will be overridden by the volume control of the external device.

USING THE AUX PORT

Using the audio cable, connect the external device to the turntable.
Use the MODE button to select AUX. The LED Indicator will be red.
If you have plugged headphones into the AUX input, you may need to adjust the volume on both the headphones and the turntable. If using another device, you should just be able to adjust the volume of the turntable.

USING THE USB PORT – LISTENING

Connect the USB plug of the device to the turntable.
Ensure the turntable is turned on, then use the MODE button to select USB. The LED Indicator will be purple.
Use the buttons on the turntable to play tracks.
- PLAY/REC will play music from the device. The LED Indicator will flash red.
- NEXT will skip forward to the next track.
- PREV returns to the beginning of the current track. Pressing it again will return to the previous track.
- STOP will stop the device from playing the current track.
Ensure you press the STOP button and turn the turntable power off before disconnecting the USB device.

USING THE USB PORT – RECORDING

Connect the USB flash drive to the turntable. Ensure it has enough available memory to save the recording.
Ensure the turntable is turned on, then use the MODE button to select PHONO. The LED Indicator will be red.
When you’re ready to begin recording, press the PLAY/REC button for two seconds (or until the LED Indicator flashes red). This indicates recording has started.
To stop the recording, press the STOP button.
To listen to your recording, press the MODE button to select USB. The LED Indicator will be purple. Then press PLAY/REC to listen to the recording. The sound quality of your recording will be affected by the sound quality of your record.
Press the STOP button to stop listening to the recording.
Ensure you press the STOP button and turn the turntable power off before disconnecting the USB flash drive.
