How to use

Place the turntable on a stable, level surface away from sources of vibration and direct sunlight. Connect power and, if using wired playback, connect the phono output to a receiver with a phono input or to an external phono preamplifier. For Bluetooth use, pair the turntable with a Bluetooth speaker or headphones following the pairing procedure in the included quick guide. Select the correct speed (33 1/3 or 45 RPM), then place a record on the platter and gently lower the tonearm to begin playback. Use the cueing lever to lower and raise the stylus to protect records and the cartridge.

Recommendations

For consistent performance, keep the stylus and records clean, avoid strong vibrations during playback, and allow the turntable to run for a short period after power-up to stabilize speed. If connecting to a non‑phono line input, use a dedicated phono preamp or the appropriate input on your receiver to avoid incorrect levels and equalization. Regularly check the cartridge and replace the stylus according to playback hours or visible wear.
