INTRODUCTION
QUICK PLAY LP connects directly to your computer to turn your treasured vinyl recordings into digital music. We have included
two software programs to aid you in converting your vinyl recordings. You should install one of the following applications to take
advantage of computer recording:
EZ Vinyl/Tape Converter (PC only) is the quickest and easiest way to turn
your recordings into digital media. EZ Vinyl/Tape Converter conveniently
saves your recordings in your iTunes* library. Novice users may find this
application preferable. We have included a handy Software Quickstart
Guide with step-by-step instructions on software installation and operation.
EZ Audio Converter (Mac only) is a basic converter application for Mac OS
X and is ideal for novice users. Please refer to the included Software
Quickstart Guide for step-by-step instructions on software installation and
operation.
To install the software: simply insert the included CD into your computer and follow the on-screen instructions. After you finish
converting your vinyl, you can then burn to CD or load onto portable media devices.

FEATURES
1. USB Cable – Use the included USB Cable to connect
your turntable to your computer. The USB connection
will provide power to the turntable as well as the audio
from the turntable to your computer. For transferring
your vinyl records to your computer, we have provided
two software programs on the included CD.
Vinyl/Tape Converter (PC) and EZ Audio Converter
(Mac) are the easiest and quickest ways to transfer
your vinyl records and should be used if you are a
beginner.
2. Line Out – Use a standard stereo RCA cable to
connect these outputs to the audio inputs of your
home stereo system. (Please note: you can still copy
music to a CD or to your computer even if the audio
outputs of the turntable are not connected to a stereo
system).
IMPORTANT WARNING: The RCA outputs are
LINE-level. Please only connect these outputs to
LINE-level inputs. You may damage your receiver
if you plug in a LINE-level into a PHONO input.
3. Platter – Place your record here.
4. Tonearm – QUICK PLAY LP comes with a ready to
use pre-balanced tonearm and cartridge.
tonearm can be raised and lowered by hand, or by
pressing the raise / lower lever. Please note that the
tonearm needs to be moved away from resting
position (on the arm clip) for the turntable motor to
activate. When the tonearm is placed back in its
resting position, the turntable motor will deactivate.
5. Arm Clip – This specially designed arm clip secures
the tonearm while at rest or when not in use. The arm clip has been designed to remain in the up position while unlocked.
6. Raise / Lower Lever – Raises and lowers the tonearm.
7. Autostop – This switch turns autostop on or off. When autostop is on, the platter will start spinning when the tonearm is
placed over the record and stop spinning when the record has reached the end. (When autostop is off, the platter will
always spin regardless of the position of the tonearm.)
8. 33 / 45 / 78 RPM Switch – This switch controls the RPM of the turntable platter.
