2.1 Playing a Vinyl Record

1. Place a vinyl record on the platter. For 7-inch records, use the included 45 RPM adapter if necessary.
2. Select the appropriate speed (33, 45, or 78 RPM) using the speed switch located near the tonearm.
3. Gently lift the tonearm using the lift lever.
4. Position the stylus over the desired starting groove of the record.
5. Lower the tonearm slowly using the lift lever. The stylus will make contact with the record, and playback will begin.

2.2 Adjustable Counterweight

The tonearm features an adjustable counterweight. This allows you to fine-tune the tracking force of the stylus on the record. Proper adjustment helps minimize skipping and ensures accurate playback, protecting both your records and the stylus. Rotate the counterweight to achieve the recommended tracking force (refer to specific stylus recommendations if available).

2.3 Auto-Stop Function

The record player includes an automatic stop function. When enabled (switch set to 'ON'), the turntable will automatically stop rotating once the record finishes playing. This feature helps reduce wear on the stylus and the record. To disable, set the auto-stop switch to 'OFF'.

3. Maintenance

3.1 Cleaning

• Unit: Wipe the exterior of the record player with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
• Dust Cover: Clean the dust cover with a soft, damp cloth. For stubborn marks, use a mild soap solution and dry thoroughly.
• Stylus: Gently brush the stylus from back to front with a soft stylus brush to remove dust and debris. Be extremely careful to avoid bending the stylus.

3.2 Stylus Replacement

The stylus (needle) is a delicate component that wears out over time. A worn stylus can damage your records and degrade sound quality. Replace the stylus approximately every 200-300 hours of playback, or if you notice a decrease in sound quality or increased skipping. Refer to the manufacturer's website or contact customer support for compatible replacement styli.
