Before playing a record

  1. Plug the AC adapter into an outlet.

    • This product does not have a power switch. A standby current is always running through the product, even when it is not being used; disconnect the AC adapter from the outlet when not using the product for a long period of time.
    • Plug the AC adapter into an outlet without removing the replacement stylus protector. If the platter has rotated, press the STOP button without touching the tonearm, and then wait until the tonearm returns to its original position.
    • If you play a record immediately after plugging the AC adapter into an outlet, the sound that is played may be garbled. Wait a short time (about 30 seconds) after plugging the AC adapter into the outlet before playing a record.
  2. Remove the replacement stylus protector.

    • Pull the protector straight forward to remove it.
    • Applying a downward force may cause the replacement stylus to come off the body. If the replacement stylus has come off or is about to come off, refer to Replacing the stylus to reattach the stylus correctly.

  3. Release the tonearm rest clamp.

  4. Place the record on the felt mat so that the center hole aligns with the spindle.

    At 33-1/3 RPM

    At 45 RPM

    To play a 45 RPM record, attach the 45 RPM adapter.

  5. Select the record size with the size selector.

    • Select “12"” for an LP record with a 12" diameter, and “7"” for a 45 RPM record with a 7" diameter.
    • Make sure the platter is stopped before switching the size selector for a different record size.

  6. Select the speed by pressing the platter speed button.

    • Select “33” to play 33-1/3 RPM records or “45” to play 45 RPM records.
