Preparation for use

Connecting the device

Align the settings for the pre-amplifier selector switch and connect the RCA audio cable to an input jack that is compatible with the connectable equipment you are
using (amplifier, receiver, active speakers, sound card, etc.).
The RCA audio cable's red jack is for the right (R) channel, and the white jack is for the left (L) channel.

Depending on the connectable equipment you are using, a ground
(earth) terminal may be present near the phono input jack. If this is
the case, connect the grounding wire of the RCA audio cable to it.
This will help prevent a low humming noise that might otherwise
be heard during playback.
Rotating the platter
1. Using your hands, rotate the platter ten times.
Raise the tonearm lift control lever to lift the tonearm. Slowly rotate the turntable
•
ten times by hand in the direction of the arrow.
You may want to hold the tonearm to prevent it from moving. This step is for
•
resetting the auto mechanism, getting rid of any twists in the belt and making
sure the belt rides smoothly along the drive rim on the underside of the platter.

Connecting the power cable

This product does not have a power switch. A standby current is always running
through the product, even when it is not being used; disconnect the power cable
plug from the outlet when not using the product for a long period of time.
1. Connect the power cable plug to the outlet.
For safety, raise the tonearm by lifting the tonearm lift control lever to the UP
•
position.
Connect the power cable plug to the outlet without removing the cartridge's
•
protector. If the platter has rotated, press the STOP button without touching the
tonearm, and then wait until the tonearm returns to its original position.
If you play a record immediately after inserting the power cable, the sound that
•
is played may be garbled. Wait a short time (about 30 seconds) after plugging the
power cable plug into the outlet before playing a record.
