Introduction
Thank you for choosing the 1byone High Fidelity All-in-One Record Player. This manual provides essential information for the proper setup, operation, and maintenance of your new turntable. Please read it thoroughly before use to ensure optimal performance and to prevent damage.
Setup
1. Power Connection
Connect the power adapter to the DC IN port on the back of the record player and then plug it into a wall outlet. Ensure the power switch is in the OFF position before connecting.
2. Platter and Belt Installation
Carefully place the platter onto the turntable spindle. Locate the drive belt on the underside of the platter and stretch it around the motor pulley. Ensure the belt is securely seated. Finally, place the felt mat on top of the platter.

3. Counterweight Installation and Adjustment
Slide the counterweight onto the rear of the tonearm. Rotate the counterweight clockwise or counter-clockwise to adjust the tracking force. For the AT-3600L cartridge, the recommended tracking force is 2.5 grams. Adjust until the tonearm floats horizontally, then set the counterweight to the 2.5g mark.

Maintenance
Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and optimal performance of your record player.
- Cleaning the Dust Cover and Cabinet: Use a soft, dry cloth to wipe the dust cover and cabinet. For stubborn marks, a slightly damp cloth can be used, followed by a dry one. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
