Welcome Thank you for purchasing The Dayton Audio TT-1BT Turntable. This belt drive turntable can play 33-1/3RPM and 45RPM records and can connect to any audio system with a variety of outputs. Before using this product, read through the entire user manual to ensure proper setup and operation. Please keep this manual for future reference. Contents Controls and Functions ..............................
Setup The initial setup of your new turntable should take about five minutes. Follow the instructions in this manual or you can view our handy how-to video at daytonaudio.com/topic/turntablesetup Useful Tip The turntable should be positioned on a low-resonance surface such as wood or multiple-layer plywood board to avoid structural vibrations disturbing playback.
Remove the red ribbon from the belt. Place the felt slipmat on top of the platter. Placing records directly on the aluminum platter is not recommended. The felt slipmat is reversible and can be used with the Dayton Audio logo facing up or down. Cartridge Downforce Adjustment The counterweight needs to be adjusted to ensure that the cartridge applies the proper force to the record.

Remove the cartridge protection cap, tie-wrap, and unlock the tonearm. Lower the tonearm lift and position the cartridge in the space between the tonearm rest and the platter. Carefully rotate the counterweight until the tonearm achieves a neutral, level balance. The tonearm should return to the balanced position if it is moved up or down.
Anti-Skating Force Adjustment The anti-skating weight is designed to keep a properly balanced tonearm and counterweight from drifting to the center of the record improperly. Properly setting the anti-skate mechanism will provide a clear and balanced stereo image from your records. The directions here are designed for use with the supplied AT-VM95E cartridge. Slip the looped end of the line over the anti-skating weight adjustment stub and into Groove 3 (the correct anti- skating force for the factory-fitted AT-VM95E cartridge).

Operation Before Playing a Record 1. Remove the cartridge’s protector. 2. Turn the power switch to the ON position. 3. Place the record on the platter so that the center hole aligns with the spindle. • Some records will require the use of the included 45RPM adaptor 4.
Maintenance and Cleaning The TT-1BT turntable requires little regular maintenance. Remove dust with a slightly damp antistatic cloth. Never use a dry cloth, this will create static electricity and attract more dust.
