the

 FUNCTION

 button repeatedly to select PHONO mode (PHONO shows on the 

display). 

2.  Set the record 

SPEED SELECTOR

 to the proper position depending on the record to be played. 

3.  Place the record on the platter and use the 45 RPM adaptor if needed. 
4.  Lift the tone arm from the rest and slowly move it over the record. The platter will start spinning. 
5.  Move the tone arm to the beginning of the record, or to the start of a particular track. Gently 

lower the tone arm onto the record to start playing.

 to raise and lower the tone arm onto the record if needed. 

 

REMARK

: Some types of records may have an auto-stop area outside the preset limit, so the turntable may stop 

before the last track finishes. In this case, select the 

AUTO-STOP SWITCH

 to “ OFF “ position. This allows the record 

to play to the end, but it will not stop automatically. You must manually raise the tone arm and place it back in the rest 
to stop the turntable from spinning and turn it off.

AUX OPERATION AND RECORDING (ENCODING TO MP3) 

 

This unit provides an 

aux in jack

 for connecting external audio devices like MP3 players, CD players, smart phones 

and ipods (except ipod shuffle 3rd generation) to listen to your external source through the speakers of this system. 
1. 

You need an audio cable (not included) with one 3.5 mm stereo plug on each end of the cable. 

2. 

Plug one end of the cable into the aux in jack (#25) located on the left-hand side of the unit and the other end of 
the cable into the line-out jack or headphone jack of your external audio device.

NOTES: 

 

If you connected the line-out jack on your external device then you only need to adjust the volume control of this 
system. If you connected the headphone jack of your external device then you may need to adjust both the 
volume control of your external device and the volume control of this system to find the most desirable volume 
setting. 

 

Remove the audio cable from aux in jack when you finish listening. Don't forget to switch off the power on your 
external device as well.
