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 the audio inputs of your home stereo system. (Please note: you can still copy records to your computer, even if the audio outputs of the turntable are not connected to a stereo system).

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. For transferring your vinyl records to your computer, we have provided two different software packages on the included CD.

4.Power Button: Turns the unit on and off.

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.
