• Adjustable Counterweight: Balances the tonearm for optimal tracking force.
• Die-Cast Aluminum Platter: Provides stable rotation and reduces vibration.
• Pitch Control: Allows fine adjustment of playback speed.
• Anti-Skate Dial: Compensates for inward force on the stylus, preventing skipping and uneven wear.

Setup Instructions

1. Unpacking: Carefully remove all components from the packaging. Retain packaging for future transport or storage.
2. Platter and Belt Installation:
   • Place the die-cast aluminum platter onto the spindle.
   • Locate the drive belt. Gently stretch the belt around the inner rim of the platter and hook it onto the motor pulley. Ensure the belt is not twisted.
   • Place the slip mat on top of the platter.
3. Counterweight Adjustment: The counterweight is factory pre-installed. For optimal performance, ensure it is set correctly according to the markings for the AT-3600L cartridge. Refer to the specific instructions for fine-tuning if necessary.
4. Anti-Skate Adjustment: Adjust the anti-skate dial to match the recommended setting for the cartridge. This helps prevent the stylus from pulling inward during playback.
5. Dust Cover: Attach the detachable dust cover to the hinges at the rear of the turntable.
6. Power Connection: Connect the DC12V 0.2A power cord to the turntable and then to a power outlet.
7. Audio Connection (Wired): If using wired speakers or an amplifier, connect the RCA audio cable from the turntable's RCA jacks to the corresponding input on your audio system. Ensure the ground wire is connected if your amplifier has a ground terminal. Set the Phono/Line switch appropriately (Line for active speakers/integrated amps, Phono for external phono preamps).

Operating Instructions

1. Powering On/Off: Use the power switch to turn the turntable on or off.
2. Playing a Record:
   • Place a record on the slip mat.
   • Select the appropriate speed (33 1/3 or 45 RPM) using the speed selector switch. Use the 45 RPM adapter for records with larger center holes.
   • Lift the tonearm using the cueing lever.
   • Position the stylus over the desired starting groove of the record.
   • Gently lower the tonearm using the cueing lever. The record will begin to play.
   • At the end of the record, the auto-stop feature will typically stop the platter rotation. Lift the tonearm and return it to its rest.
3. Using Bluetooth Output:
   • Ensure your Bluetooth speaker, soundbar, or headphones are in pairing mode.
   • Press the 'BT Out' button on the turntable's rear panel. The Bluetooth indicator light will flash, indicating pairing mode.
   • Once connected, the indicator light will become solid. Audio from the record player will now stream wirelessly to your paired device.
4. Using Phono/Line Switch:
   • Set to 'LINE' if connecting to active speakers or an amplifier's auxiliary input. The built-in preamp will be active.
   • Set to 'PHONO' if connecting to an amplifier with a dedicated phono input that includes its own preamp. The turntable's internal preamp will be bypassed.
5. Adjusting Pitch Control: Use the pitch control knob to slightly increase or decrease the playback speed, allowing for fine-tuning or creative effects.

Maintenance

• Dust Cover: Clean the dust cover with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
• Stylus: Gently clean the stylus regularly using a soft brush designed for stylus cleaning, brushing from back to front. A dirty stylus can damage records and degrade sound quality.
• Platter and Cabinet: Wipe the platter and turntable cabinet with a soft, slightly damp cloth. Ensure no liquids enter the internal components.
• Belt: The drive belt may require replacement over time if it stretches or degrades. Refer to the manufacturer for replacement parts.

Troubleshooting

No Sound:

Ensure the turntable is powered on. Check all audio cable connections (RCA, ground). Verify the Phono/Line switch is in the correct position. If using Bluetooth, confirm successful pairing and that the volume on the receiving device is up.

Skipping:

Check if the record is clean and free of dust or debris. Ensure the turntable is on a stable, level surface. Verify the counterweight and anti-skate settings are correct. Inspect the stylus for damage or excessive wear.

Incorrect Playback Speed:

Confirm the speed selector (33 1/3 or 45 RPM) matches the record. Use the pitch control for minor adjustments.

Auto-Stop Function Stops Too Early:

For some records, particularly certain 45s, the auto-stop feature may activate prematurely. If this occurs, you can typically disable the auto-stop function (refer to specific controls on your unit if available) and manually stop the platter after playback.

Buzzing Sound:

Ensure the ground wire is properly connected to your amplifier if applicable. Check for loose connections. If the buzzing occurs when the unit is off, ensure it is unplugged from the power source.

Bluetooth Connection Issues:

Ensure the turntable's 'BT Out' is activated and flashing. Confirm the receiving Bluetooth device is in pairing mode and within range. Try restarting both devices.
