GENERAL CONTROLS

1. Power Cable: This power cable should be plugged into a wall
receptacle AFTER all audio connections are made.

2. RCA Audio Output Cables: These cables should be plugged
into a CD or Auxiliary input on your computer. IMPORTANT:
There is a switch on the bottom panel, next to the RCA cables
that selects between PHONO/LINE. Use PHONO level for
plugging into a turntable input on a home stereo. Use the LINE
level for plugging into CD/AUX/TAPE inputs. WARNING: You

may damage your receiver if you plug in a LINE level
into a PHONO input.

3. USB Audio Output: Use the included USB Cable to connect
your turntable to your computer. Refer to the software
instruction guide before plugging in your turntable.

4. Power Button: This ring around the power button illuminates
red when the turntable is switched on.

5. Platter: This platter must be securely fastened to the
turntable prior to operation. The Motor Drive Belt can be found
on the drive ring underneath the platter. See SETUP
INSTRUCTIONS for detailed information on installing the Motor
Drive Belt.

6. Start/Stop Buttons: These buttons start and stop the
turntable motor. Both buttons have the same function. If they
seem to not be functioning, check to make sure that the Motor
Drive Belt is properly installed in the SETUP INSTRUCTIONS.

7. 1/8” Stereo Line Input: Connect Tape Players, Reel to Reel,
or any other audio source here. This signal is sent to the
computer through the USB. Make sure that your phono

cartridge is installed while using this input for maximum
sound quality. Also make sure that your RCA jacks are either

plugged into an input device or not in contact with metal.
Note: The 1/8" audio input is not routed to the turntable's RCA
output jacks, only to your computer via USB.

8. 33 and 45 RPM Buttons: These buttons control the RPM of
the turntable platter. A red LED indicates which RPM mode has
been selected.

NOTE: If the turntable is powered down while in the 45 RPM
setting, it will return to 33 RPM when it is powered up.
Note: You can record your 78RPM records by recording them
at 33 or 45rpm, then changing them to 78 in the Audacity
software.

9. Pitch LED: This LED illuminates green when the pitch slider is
set at 0%. When the pitch slider is moved away from zero, the
LED illuminates red.

10. Pitch Slider: This slide control allows the pitch to be increased
or decreased by 10%. In the center position the pitch is at 0%.
When moved away from the center and towards the tone arm
decreases the pitch (slows down the platter) and moving the
pitch slider away from the tone arm increase the pitch (speeds
up the platter.)

TONE ARM: Items 11 – 15 are all parts of the tonearm. Refer
to the TONEARM SETUP section for additional details on these
controls. Your model will be equipped with straight arm or S­arm style depending upon model purchased.

11. Counter Weight and Scale Ring: The Counterweight is used
to balance the head shell and cartridge assembly so that the
proper amount of stylus pressure is applied to the record.

12. Anti-Skate Adjustment: This knob is used to compensate for
inward tracking forces. See TONEARM SETUP for more details.

13. Arm Clip: This specially designed arm clip secures the tone
arm while at rest or when not in use. The arm clip has been
designed to remain in the up position while unlocked.

NOTE: When transporting the turntable, it is always
recommended that the headshell be removed and the arm clip
secured to prevent tonearm or turntable damage.

14. Tone Arm Lock Nut: This Aluminum nut is used to secure the
head shell and cartridge assembly to the tone arm tube. See
Cartridge Setup for more details.

15. Cartridge and Headshell: The cartridge is pre-mounted on a
standard headshell. The cartridge is user replaceable and
compatible with a variety of standard cartridges. Be sure to
remove the clear plastic cover before operating the turntable
from the cartridge.

PLATTER SETUP

WARNING: Incorrect Platter setup can lead to poor turntable
performance, platter instability or permanent motor damage.

1. Start by placing the rubber drive belt around the inner bottom
ring of the turntable platter. This should come preinstalled, but
check to make sure that it is not twisted or damaged.

2. Install the Platter on the center spindle and press it down
firmly. Check to make sure that it rotates uniformly and does
not wobble excessively.

3. Rotate the platter so that the one of the holes is aligned with
the Start Stop button on the front corner of the turntable. The
brass motor spindle should be visible through this hole.

4. Reach into the hole and pull the rubber drive belt off of the
inner ring, and install it over the motor spindle. Be careful no t
to twist the rubber drive belt during this step. Check to make
sure the platter rotates uniformly. If the drive belt is properly
installed, there should be a slight amount of tension that
brings the platter to a stop after spinning it freely.

TONEARM SETUP

1. Begin by rotating the counterweight clockwise until it is in the
complete forward position (NOTE: this is also the maximum
amount of pressure that can be applied to the cartridge.)

2. Now there should be a feeling of weight and resistance when
the head shell is raised and lowered. Begin rotating the
counterweight counter-clockwise (away from the pivot point)
until the weight and resistance feeling is gone. If done
properly, the tone arm will pivot with very little resistance back
and forth indicating that there is exactly 0 grams of stylus
pressure.

3. With the counterweight in its new position further away from
tone arm pivot point, grasp the scale ring of the counter
weight and rotate it until "0" is in the vertical position.

4. Finally, rotate the counterweight (and scale ring) clockwise
(towards the pivot point) until the desired amount of weight is
reached. If the scale rotates 360 degrees beyond the zero
point, the new scale ring reading should be added to 3.5.

*The included head shell and cartridge assembly requires a
minimum of 3 grams and no more than 5 grams for optimum
performance.
