Turntable Playback

Before use, please make sure to:
•
Remove the stylus protector. Reconnect the protective cap on the stylus when not in use.
•
Ensure the tonearm is free to move from the tonearm rest. Lock the tonearm in place again when not
in use.
1. Set the Function selector to Phono/Aux In and lift the turntable dust cover.
2. Place a record on the turntable, over the central spindle on the slipmat.
3. Set the Speed selector to 33, 45, or 78 rpm depending on the record.
4. Lift the tonearm from the tonearm rest by using the Raise Lever and slowly move it over the record.
The turntable platter will start turning.
5. Place the tonearm on the desired location of the record.
6. Gently lower the tonearm onto the record to start playing.
7. When the record is finished playing, the tonearm will automatically stop. Lift the tonearm from the
record and put it back on the rest.
8. To manually stop the record, lift the tonearm from the record and return it to the rest.
Note: Do not stop or turn the platter manually. Moving or jarring the turntable without securing the
tonearm clamp could result in damage to the tonearm.
Auto-stop Switch Operation
Certain types of records may have an auto-stop area outside the pre-set limit, so the turntable may stop
before the last track finishes. If this occurs, set the Auto-stop switch to the Off position. This allows the
record to play to the end, but it will not stop automatically. You must manually raise the tonearm and place
it back in the rest and then turn the power OFF to stop the turntable from spinning.

Aux In Playback

1. Set the Function selector to Phono/Aux In.
2. Connect an 1/8" (3.5 mm) stereo audio cable (not included) from the AUX IN on the front panel of
Superior LP to the line output or headphone output of your external audio device to be able to listen to
the external source through Superior LP's internal speakers.
3. Adjust the volume on Superior LP to the desired level.
Note: If the line output of your external device is connected, you only need to adjust the system's volume
control. If your external device's headphone output is connected, you may need to adjust the volume
control on both your external device and Superior LP to achieve the desired volume.
