Connecting to a Computer  

Connect the USB-output of the unit to a free USB-socket on your computer and turn it on/make sure it is powered on.  
The “new hardware found assistant“ will automatically detect the unit and announces it as a Microphone USB audio codec. There 
is no need to install a driver manually.  
After installation, one setting has to be done. For example - Windows 7® operating system:  

 Control Panel 

 Sound 

 Recording 

 Microphone USB Audio CODEC 

 Properties

channel, 16 bit, 48000 Hz (DVD Quality) 

Please note: Connection should be made to a USB-socket of your 

computer directly. Connecting to USB-hubs or switches can cause problems. 

 

 
Recording Programme  

In case you do not have a recording programme installed on your computer, you may download one free from the 
Internet. Recording programmes may be found by searching Google. 

In the menu of the recording programme, 

source or input may have to be set to

Please be aware that downloads from the Internet are made entirely at your own risk. Under no circumstances can 
we carry responsibility or provide support for third-party software products sourced from the internet or for any 
damage or problems arising from the use thereof. All downloads should be checked with an up-to-date anti-virus 
programme. License fees may be applicable. 

 

 
Mains power connection 

The turntable is supplied with a power supply suitable for your country's mains supply. Check the label before connecting to 
ensure compliance with the mains rating in your house.  
Connect the low voltage plug from the power supply to the socket (13) on the rear of the record player before connecting the power 
supply to the mains. 
 

Fitting the lid 

Fit the lid carefully over the hinge fasteners and adjust the screws (14) until the lid stays open where you want it to without being 
too stiff to open or close. 
 

Switching on and off 

Pressing the power switch (1) alternately starts or stops the motor.
