Ready? Let’s begin...
Please read these instructions carefully. They contain
important information which will help you get the
best from your Turntable and ensure safe and correct
installation and operation.
If you require any further assistance, our technical
experts are happy to help. For full details, refer to
the product support section at the end of these
instructions.
Included with your Turntable
1. 1 x felt turntable mat
2. 1 x spindle adapter
3. 2 x stereo speakers with an RCA connection
If at all possible, it is recommended that you leave a
space of approximately 40cm between each speaker
and the turntable and that the surface on which you
have placed the turntable and speakers, does not
suffer from too much vibration, which can then be
transmitted up into the turntable. Please make sure
that:
• the turntable and speakers are on a flat and stable
surface, which does not suffer from too much
vibration. If you can, place the speakers on a
different surface to the turntable.
• it is at least 1 metre away from other electrical
appliances to avoid interference.
• it is within 1.4 metres of a power socket. Please
ensure that the mains power lead and speaker wires
are not a trip hazard.
• it is where it will be in range of the connected or
‘paired’ bluetooth device (e.g. iPod/ iPhone/iPad/
Android/other phone/Computer), which is about 10
metres or less (33 feet or less) in line of sight.
• you do not place your Turntable or speakers directly
onto antique or polished surfaces.
Felt turntable mat Spindle adapter
Stereo speakers
Positioning the Turntable with
Bluetooth
It is important that you consider carefully in advance
where your Turntable and speakers will be situated. If
you place the turntable on the same surface and very
close to the speakers, the sound quality can be affected
by the airborne movements coming from the speakers
and from any vibrations from the surface on which they
have been placed.
Setting up
1. Connect the speakers to the Left and Right speaker
sockets on the back of the Turntable. Please note
that the speaker cable with the red RCA plug
should be connected to the red RCA socket and
the speaker cable with the white RCA plug should
be connected to the white RCA socket.
2. Place the felt turntable mat provided onto the
turntable platter. This will stop your record from
slipping.
3. Remove the protective cover from the stylus by
sliding it forwards. Please remember to replace
the stylus cover after you have finished playing
your records.
4. Unclip the tone arm.
5. Plug the mains power plug into the mains power
wall socket and switch on.
