Connecting to an external sound system
Should you wish to connect the turntable to an external amplifier follow the below steps.
AUX IN R L DC 5V 1A
1. Connect an RCA audio cable (not supplied) to the AUDIO LINE OUT sockets on the
rear of the turntable.
Take care to match the RED/WHITE plugs to the corresponding RED/WHITE sockets.
2. Connect the other end of the cable to an AUDIO INPUT on the amplifier (check your
amplifier user manual if you are not sure).
3. The volume control on the turntable will have no effect on the volume level when
connected this way. All volume controls should be operated from the amplifier.
Turn the volume on the turntable all the way down, so it does not interfere with the
external sound system.

Listening to an external source
Connect other audio sources such as a smartphone to the turntable to allow playback
through the built-in speakers. Follow the below steps to get connected.
AUX IN R L DC 5V 1A
1. Connect a 3.5mm audio cable (not supplied) to the AUX IN socket on the rear of the
turntable. The platter will stop spinning if playing a record.
2. Connect the other end to the earphone/Line out socket on the smartphone.
3. Begin playback on the smartphone.
4. Adjust the volume.
5. When connecting via the headphone output the volume of the built-in speakers
is affected by the volume control on the smartphone. Ensure that the smartphone
volume is set to about 70-80% to avoid distortion.
Handling vinyl
Vinyl records can get dusty. This will cause a buildup of dust on the stylus during playback.
Keeping your vinyl collection clean and cleaning
before use will reduce noisy crackles during
playback and increase your listening experience.
Should you get a dust build-up on the stylus,
gently dust off with a soft brush from back to front
as shown.
