How to use

Place the turntable on a level, vibration-free surface and connect it to speakers or an external amplifier according to the provided audio outputs. Select the appropriate rotational speed for the record type (33, 45 or 78 RPM), mount the record on the platter and lower the tonearm gently onto the groove. Adjust playback volume on connected equipment as needed. For digitization, route the audio output to a recorder or computer audio interface and record using suitable software while monitoring levels to avoid clipping.

Recommendations

Use a stable, flat surface and avoid direct sunlight or heat sources. Clean records and stylus regularly to preserve sound quality. When playing 78 RPM shellac records, ensure you use an appropriate stylus and set the correct speed to reduce wear. For improved audio performance, consider connecting the turntable to an external amplifier or bookshelf speakers rather than relying solely on the built-in output level.
