channel; white plug = left channel).
USB port
You will find information on connecting the record player to a PC in the section "Converting
records to digital files".
Mains connection

3. Turn the turntable to the position illustrated.

Playing records

brush.
For information on how to change the stylus refer to "Changing the stylus".
