OPERATION
PLAYING RECORDS
This system includes a full-size, 3-speed, belt-drive turntable that plays 33,45 and 78 RPM records.
Be sure to disconnect any devices (MP3 player or smartphone) before using the Record player.
1. With the unit on, rotate the AM-FM-PH-CD-AUX switch to the PH position. Make sure that you have
removed the stylus cover from the stylus and have released the Tone Arm Lock (See Page 7)
2. Set the turntable speed switch to the appropriate speed: 33, 45, or 78 RPM. Set the record onto the
turntable. If you are playing 45 RPM singles, place the 45 RPM adapter on the center spindle.
3. Raise the cue lever to lift the tone arm off its rest. Move the tone arm to the outer-edge of the record.
The turntable will start automatically. Use the cue lever to gently lower the tone arm onto the record.
• Adjust the VOLUME control to set the volume as desired.
• IMPORTANT: Make sure that you have removed the stylus cover from the stylus and have released
the Tone Arm Lock (see page 7).
• Do not turn or stop the turntable manually. Moving or jarring the turntable without securing the
tone arm clamp could result in damage to the tone arm or stylus.
CHANGING THE STYLUS
The jeweled stylus that was installed in your turntable at the time of purchase will last for up to 300 hours
of playback with 33 RPM albums or 45 RPM singles. If you are playing older 78 RPM records, which are made
from a much harder material, the stylus life expectancy may be reduced.
When the playback sound becomes distorted and unsatisfactory, first check to see if any dust or lint has
accumulated on the stylus. If you see any visible matter on the tip of the stylus, remove it very carefully with
a soft stylus-cleaning brush.
If there is no visible foreign matter on the stylus and the sound is still unsatisfactory, the stylus is worn and
needs to be replaced. If you continue playing your records with a worn stylus, you may eventually cause
damage to the records themselves.
