Preparation for use
Installing/removing the dust cover
• The dust cover is designed to protect the product's sensitive
components when the product is not in use. It should remain off
while records are playing.
• Using the dust cover during play may result in record damage or
sound degradation.
• Whenever putting on or taking off the dust cover, put it onto or take
it off of the body slowly.
Setting MM (VM)/MC Cartridge Selector Switch
If using a moving magnet (MM or VM) cartridge, set this switch to the
MM position. If using a moving coil (MC) cartridge, set this switch to
the MC position.
• This switch is set to the MM position at the time of purchase.
Because the cartridge (VM520EB) included with the product is a VM
stereo cartridge, keep the switch in the MM position as long as you
continue to use the cartridge.
Setting pre-amplifier selector switch
This product has a built-in phono equalizer function. You can use the
product, even if you do not have a phono amplifier or connectable
equipment with a built-in phono amplifier, by connecting an active
speaker, etc.
Use the pre-amplifier selector switch to set the output, as shown
below.

Connecting to connectable equipment (active
speakers, amplifiers, etc.)
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.).

* Depending on the equipment you are connecting, a ground (earth)
terminal may exist near the phono input jack. If this is the case,
connect to it using the ground line from the RCA audio cable. This
will help prevent a low humming noise that might otherwise be heard
during playback.
Connecting the AC adapter
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 AC adapter from the outlet when not using the product
for a long period of time.
1. Connect the AC adapter's cord to power input jack.
2. Plug the AC adapter into an outlet.
• Make sure that the control knob is in the "STOP" position.
• If you play a record immediately after plugging the AC adapter into an
outlet, the sound that is played may be garbled. Wait a short time (about
30 seconds) after plugging the AC adapter into the outlet before playing a
record.
