Note

Keep the packaging materials in case you need to

transport your turntable for repair.

10

Assembling the

Turntable

Note

• When you purchased your turntable, a stylus’s

protective cover was attached to the stylus.

Leave on the cover as you assemble your

turntable.

• Do not connect your turntable to a power outlet

with the AC adaptor until you are finished with

assembly.

• The stylus is a high precision component. Do not

touch the stylus while handling it. Touching the

stylus with your fingers, or banging the stylus

into the platter, may cause damage to the stylus.

• To move your turntable after assembling the

turntable,

– attach the stylus’s protective cover,

– remove the platter, and

– pass a string through the hole in the tone arm

rest and fix the tone arm and the tone arm

rest.

Precautions on placement

• Place the unit on a level surface.

• Avoid placing the unit near electrical

appliances (such as a television, hair

dryer, or fluorescent lamp) which may

cause hum or noise.

• Place the unit where it will not be subject

to any vibration, such as from speakers,

slamming of doors, etc.

• Keep the unit away from direct sunlight,

extremes of temperature, and excessive

dust and moisture.

• Keep the unit away from electronic

devices that may emit radio waves or

electromagnetic noise.

Attaching the platter

1 Place the platter on the spindle.

Keep the platter level while placing it on

the spindle.

Getting Started

3 Peel off the adhesive tape, pull and

hold the red ribbon, and then hook

the drive belt around the motor

pulley.

Note

• Be careful to not let the drive belt twist. If the

drive belt is twisted while placing it around

the motor pulley, the speed will become

unstable and the platter will stop after it

begins rotating. If this happens, place the

drive belt around the motor pulley again.

• When placing the drive belt around the

platter, do not stretch the drive belt roughly.

Doing so degrades the drive belt, which

causes the sound’s pitch to fluctuate and be

too high.

• If the drive belt comes off of the platter’s

inner circle while you are placing the drive

belt around it, temporarily remove the

platter. Turn the platter over and wind the

drive belt around the circumference of the

inner circle. Then, start again from the

beginning of the procedure.

• Be sure to remove the red ribbon after you

place the drive belt around the motor pulley.

The red ribbon is intended to help you with

this work. Placing the drive belt around the

motor pulley is still possible without the red

ribbon. The red ribbon is no longer needed

once you have attached the platter.

4 Place the mat for the platter onto

the platter.

Attaching the dust cover

1 Insert the supplied dust cover

hinges to the hinge pockets on the

dust cover.

turntable and push in the dust

cover.

Tip

To remove the dust cover from the turntable,

fully open the dust cover, grasp both sides

near the bottom of the cover, and then gently

pull it out in the upward direction.

Connecting Your

Turntable

Connecting via the audio

cable

Note

• Be sure to turn off the audio device, such as a

stereo system or an amplifier, before connection.

• Be sure to make all the connections before you

connect the AC adaptor to a power outlet.

1 Connect the audio cable, which

comes out from the back of the

turntable, to the PHONO input jack,

AUX input jack, or analog input jack

for the audio device.

Connect the white plug to the white (L)

jack and the red plug to the red (R) jack.

Note

Be sure to insert the plugs firmly into the jacks.

Loose connection will cause playback noises.

2 Switch the OUTPUT SELECT switch

on the back of the turntable

according to the connected audio

device’s jack.

• If the audio device has a PHONO

input jack (connected to the PHONO

input jack)

Set the switch to PHONO. An audio

signal from the MM cartridge is output

from the audio cable without passing

through the phono preamp built into

the turntable. The phono preamp for

the audio device is used.

• If the audio device does not have a

PHONO input jack (connected to the

AUX input jack, VIDEO input jack,

etc.)

Set the switch to LINE. The audio signal

that passes through the phono

preamp built into the turntable is

output from the audio cable.

Note

• If you are only using the BLUETOOTH

connection and not connecting the turntable

to another device using the audio cable,

place the audio cable so that its metal tips

do not touch each other or any metallic parts

from racks or other devices. Then, set the

OUTPUT SELECT switch to LINE to use the

turntable.

• Connecting the audio cable to the PHONO

input jack and setting the OUTPUT SELECT

switch to LINE may produce a very loud

sound that may break the amp or speaker.

Always set the switch to PHONO when

connecting to the PHONO input jack.

Connecting the audio cable to an analog

input jack, such as an AUX input jack, and

setting the OUTPUT SELECT switch to PHONO

produces only a very quiet sound. Always set

the switch to LINE when connecting to the

analog input jack.

13

Getting Started

Tip

The OUTPUT SELECT switch is set to LINE at the

time of purchase.

3 Connect the AC adaptor.

Note

To avoid noise interference, place the AC

adaptor body away from your turntable as far

as possible.

Connecting with the

BLUETOOTH function

You can enjoy playing vinyl records by using

your turntable’s BLUETOOTH function to

connect wirelessly to a playback device (not

supplied) that supports BLUETOOTH

wireless technology, such as BLUETOOTH

speakers or BLUETOOTH headphones.

The jolts from pressing the BLUETOOTH

button/ PAIRING button while playing a

vinyl record may cause the stylus to skip.

We recommend connecting to BLUETOOTH

before playing a vinyl record.

Note

Do not connect to headphones for which you

cannot adjust the volume. Audio tracks may be

played at very loud volumes.

Registering (pairing) devices to your

turntable

When you first connect your turntable to a

playback device that supports BLUETOOTH

wireless technology, you must pair it with

the device.

Because your turntable can register

information for up to 8 paired devices, you

do not have to pair the next or subsequent

times you connect the device to the

turntable.

1 Place the playback device that supports

BLUETOOTH wireless technology, to

which you want to connect, as close to

your turntable as possible.

14

2 Press and hold your turntable’s

BLUETOOTH button/ PAIRING button

for about 2 seconds, and then release it.

The BLUETOOTH indicator rapidly flashes blue.

3 Turn on the pairing mode for the

playback device that supports

BLUETOOTH wireless technology, to

which you want to connect.

The above illustration is one example of

a device that is connecting.

For how to turn on the pairing mode for

the device to which you want to connect,

refer to the user’s instructions supplied

with the device.

The BLUETOOTH indicator stops flashing

blue and remains lit when pairing is

complete.

Note

If you are only using the BLUETOOTH connection

and not connecting your turntable to another

device using the audio cable, set the OUTPUT

SELECT switch on the back of the turntable to LINE

to use the turntable.

Tip

• Once you have paired your turntable and device,

you can connect to the paired device simply by

giving a short press to the BLUETOOTH button/

PAIRING button to enable your turntable’s

BLUETOOTH function. You can also connect to

the paired device and play vinyl records by

pressing the START button on the front of the

turntable when the BLUETOOTH indicator is lit

orange (in standby).

• Press the BLUETOOTH button/ PAIRING

button to disengage from the BLUETOOTH

connection. The BLUETOOTH indicator turns off.

• You can register information for a maximum of

8 devices paired to your turntable.

You can delete all information for paired devices

by pressing and holding the BLUETOOTH

button/ PAIRING button for about 10 seconds,

and then releasing it.

If you cannot register (pair) devices

• If there are playback devices, which

support BLUETOOTH wireless technology

nearby, that have the BLUETOOTH

function enabled, but some of them are

not the device with which you want to

pair, disable their BLUETOOTH function

and try pairing again.

• With the pairing operation, the device

with which you do not want to pair may

be turned on and connected to the

turntable automatically. If this occurs,

change the device’s setting not to turn on

by the BLUETOOTH connection, turn off

the device, and try pairing again.

• You cannot pair your turntable with

smartphones, TVs, or computers. The

turntable can use the BLUETOOTH

function to send data to playback devices

that support BLUETOOTH wireless

technology; however, because the

turntable cannot receive data from

smartphones, TVs, or computers, the

turntable cannot pair with them.

Additional Information

Troubleshooting

When you find your turntable not working

properly, first review the following

suggestions before you consider requesting

for repair. If they do not help solving your

problem, contact your dealer or the

customer support website. (See page 23.)

Vinyl record playback

The tone arm skips or skates.

• Your turntable is not positioned level. Place

the turntable on a level surface.

• The vinyl record is dusty or scratched. Clean

the surface with a commercial record

cleaning product or replace the vinyl record.

You experience sound problems.

• If the dirty stylus is causing frequent noises,

clean the stylus with a commercial stylus

cleaning product. If the stylus is worn out,

replace the stylus. (See page 18.)

• If the sound pitch is unstable, the drive belt

may be worn out. Replace the drive belt. (See

page 19.)

• If the dusty vinyl record is causing frequent

noises, clean the surface with a commercial

• The stylus is worn out. Replace it with a new

one. (See page 18.)

You hear rumbling or low-frequency

howling noises*.

Your turntable is placed too close to speakers.

Move the turntable away from the speakers.

* This phenomenon, called “acoustic feedback,”

occurs when vibrations that travel through the air

or solid objects (such as shelves, a cabinet, or the

floor) from speakers are picked up by the stylus,

amplified and reproduced through the speakers.

You hear noises.

• Make sure that the OUTPUT SELECT switch

on the rear of your turntable is set to LINE. If

the PHONO/LINE switch is set to PHONO

when the turntable is connected to any

other input jacks than the PHONO input

jacks on the audio device, you may hear

playback noises. When the PHONO/LINE

switch is set to LINE, do not connect the

turntable to the PHONO input jacks on the

audio device.

The sound pitch is too high or low.

• A wrong rotation speed is selected. Check

the center label of the vinyl record or the

record jacket for the rotation speed and

select the appropriate one. Rotate the SPEED

rotary switch knob to select “33” for

331/3rpm records or “45” for 45rpm

You cannot pair via the BLUETOOTH

wireless technology.

• If there are playback devices, which support

BLUETOOTH wireless technology nearby, that

have the BLUETOOTH function enabled, but

some of them are not the device with which

you want to pair, disable their BLUETOOTH

function and try pairing again.

• With the pairing operation, the device with

which you do not want to pair may be

turned on and connected to the turntable

automatically. If this occurs, change the

device’s setting not to turn on by the

BLUETOOTH connection, turn off the device,

and try pairing again.

• The procedure for turning on the pairing

mode differs depending on the playback

device that supports BLUETOOTH wireless

technology. For details, refer to the user’s

instructions supplied with the device.

You cannot connect your turntable to the

playback device, which supports

BLUETOOTH wireless technology, to which

BLUETOOTH wireless technology nearby, that

have the BLUETOOTH function enabled, but some

of them are not the device to which you want to

connect, disable their BLUETOOTH function.

You cannot connect your smartphone, TV,

or computer.

Your turntable can use the BLUETOOTH

function to send data to playback devices that

support BLUETOOTH wireless technology;
