Important: Remove the plastic cartridge cover
(needle cover) before operating the turntable.
1. Platter: Place your record here.
2. 45 RPM Adapter Holder: Holds the
included 45 RPM adapter. When not using
the adapter, please place it in this holder.
3. 33/45/78 Switch: This switch controls the
RPM of the turntable platter.
Note: For best results when playing 78
RPM vinyl records, use a 78 stylus (sold
separately). Only use a 78 stylus with 78
RPM vinyl records. Purchase a 78 RPM
stylus at ionaudio.com.
Note: If needed, you may adjust the speed of the turntable platter. On the underside of Photon
LP, remove the rubber plugs and tighten/loosen the appropriate screw with a screwdriver.
4. Autostop Switch: This switch turns autostop on or off. When autostop is on, the platter
will start spinning when the tonearm is placed over the record and stop spinning when the
record has reached the end. (When autostop is off, the platter will always spin regardless
of the position of the tonearm.)
Note: If your vinyl record stops before it reaches the end of the music, turn Autostop to the
off position for this particular record. This is generally recommended for 45 RPM records.
5. Tonearm: The tonearm can be raised and lowered by hand.
6. Arm Clip: This specially designed arm clip secures the tonearm while at rest or when not
in use. The arm clip has been designed to remain in the up position while unlocked.
7. Pre-Mounted Cartridge: This is a replaceable cartridge with stylus. To purchase a
replacement cartridge and stylus, find the page for Photon LP at ionaudio.com.
8. LEDs: 48 multi-colored LEDs.
