Initial Setup (continued)

Connecting to Stereo System

1.Connect the red RCA-type pin-plug to the right channel input and the white RCA-type pin-plug to the left channel input of your stereo system (Fig. 3, page 4).

2.With the tone arm still fastened to the tone arm rest, slowly turn the turntable platter clockwise ten times, to make certain the automatic mechanism is fully cycled.

3.Remove the vinyl tie that holds the tone arm on its rest.

4.Connect the power cord plug to an AC outlet.

5.NOTE: You do not need to disconnect your turntable from your stereo system in order to connect it to a computer via the USB port. This allows you to monitor your recordings when using recording software. See software guide for further information.

Connecting to Computers or Audio Devices with 3.5 mm Input

The AT-LP60-USB connects without adapters to devices equipped with RCA connectors. For maximum flexibility, we have included two adapter cables to fit other popular audio inputs.

The first of these adapter cables-dual RCA to stereo 3.5 mm mini-plug (male)-is designed to fit most popular computer* audio inputs. It may also be used to connect the turntable’s RCA output to other equipment, including:

•a stereo/boombox* equipped with a 3.5 mm mini input

•powered speakers* equipped with a 3.5 mm mini input

•a mixer* or PA system* equipped with a 3.5 mm mini jack

The second included adapter cable–dual RCA to stereo 3.5 mm mini- plug (female)–permits connection of the turntable output to amplified speakers* or similar devices. The 3.5 mm stereo minijack on the cable adapter accepts stereo mini-plugs.

To use either adapter cable, connect the turntable’s red and white RCA- type plugs to the cable adapter’s RCA-type jacks.

*When using either cable adapter, always set the AT-LP60-USB turntable’s Pre-amp Selector Switch to the “LINE” position. (Switch is located on the back of the turntable.)

NOTE: If connection is desired to a mono amplifier/speaker, make certain to use a stereo-to-mono adapter, available from your dealer or an electronic parts store. Inserting a mono plug in the stereo jack will disable one of the stereo channels. Other adapter cable configurations will be available from dealers and parts stores for connecting to devices needing different terminations.
