4. Setup

4.1 Initial Placement

Place the record player on a stable, level surface away from direct sunlight, heat sources, and excessive dust or vibrations.

4.2 Dust Cover Installation

Carefully align the hinges of the transparent dust cover with the posts on the back of the record player and slide it into place. This protects the platter and stylus from dust when not in use.

4.3 Power Connection

Connect the provided 5V 1A power adapter to the DC 5V input port on the back of the record player, then plug the adapter into a wall outlet.

4.4 Counterweight Adjustment

The counterweight helps control the tracking force of the stylus, reducing skipping and wear on your records. Adjust the counterweight by rotating it until the tone arm is balanced and floats horizontally. Then, rotate the numbered ring to match the recommended tracking force for your stylus (refer to stylus specifications if available, typically 2-3 grams for standard cartridges).
