Setting Up Your Turntable

Step 1: Assembling Your Turntable

1. Rotate the turntable to the drive motor spindle.
2. Remove the tape and ribbon from the belt, and stretch the belt
around the drive motor spindle. Do not twist the belt.
3. Slowly rotate the turntable six or seven times, then check the belt.
If it is not secure, reposition it and repeat. If the belt slips under the
platter, do not attempt to remove the platter. Take it to your local
RadioShack store for assistance.
4. Set the LINE OUT/PHONO OUT switch. If you
are uncertain which output your connecting device
requires, refer to its user's guide.
5. Place the rubber mat, ridges down, on the platter.

Step 2: Connecting Your Turntable

Before connecting your turntable to an audio device, turn off the
device.
1. Plug the turntable's white and red plugs into the device's matching
audio jacks.
2. Connect the turntable's ground wire to the device's GND or earth
terminal.
3. Plug the turntable's power cord into a standard AC outlet.
Caution: To prevent electric shock, the plug's blades are polarized and
Do not power the turntable until you complete all other connections.
NOTE: The LIN (lead in), RET (auto return), and SW (tone arm
switch) screws on the turntable's base are set at the factory
and should not be adjusted.

Using Your Turntable
