Initial Setup

Assembling the Turntable
The AT-LP60 requires some assembly before first use. IMPORTANT:

Do not connect the AC power cord until assembly is complete.
1. Carefully place the turntable platter on the center spindle,

making certain the platter is fully seated on the spindle.

2. While holding both ends of the red tape ribbon on the

turntable belt, carefully pull the belt over the motor pulley (Fig.

2a). (If the belt drops off, remove the turntable platter and put

the belt back on it, as described on page 7.)

3. Once the belt is seated in the pulley’s groove, carefully

remove the ribbon. Make certain the belt is not twisted.

4

Place the turntable mat on top of the turntable platter (Fig. 2b).

5. If desired, the hinged dust cover may be removed. Hold both

sides of the dust cover and pull upward gently and evenly to

detach the cover from the turntable (Fig. 2c). Keep the cover

in a safe, clean place.

6. To re-install the dust cover, guide the dust cover hinges into

the two hinge receptacles located at the back of the turntable

housing.

Setting the Pre-amp (Phono/Line) Switch

For increased flexibility of use, this turntable has an internal stereo

phono pre-amplifier. The Pre-amp Selector (Phono/Line) Switch is

located on the back of the turntable. If the stereo system you are using

has a PHONO input, set the Pre-amp Selector Switch to the “PHONO”

position. If your stereo system does not have a PHONO input, set

the Pre-amp Selector Switch to the “LINE” position and connect the

turntable’s output cables to the AUX or other high-level input on your

stereo system (described later) (Fig. 3).
