Connection to the amplifier
The record player has gold plated female RCA phono sockets (12) so you can substitute the interconnect cables
supplied with those of your choice for connection to the amplifier if you wish. Your dealer can advise you on
alternative cables. Use a line input (such as AUX, CD, Tuner, Tape or Video) on your amplifier.
!
Due to the built in phono pre-amplifier, a phono input (sometimes labelled gram, disc or RIAA) is not
suitable.
Take care to connect the left and right channels correctly. The right channel is usually marked red, the left
channel black or white. Check the manual supplied with your amplifier for relevant information. The earthing
wire of the tonearm lead should be connected to the earth terminal on your amplifier (if provided).
Connecting to a Computer
Connect the USB-output of the unit to a free USB-socket on your computer and turn it on/make sure it is
powered on.
The “new hardware found assistant“ will automatically detect the unit and announces it as a Microphone USB
audio codec. There is no need to install a driver manually.
After installation, one setting has to be done. For example - Windows 7
®
operating system:

Please note: Connection should be made to an USB-socket of your computer directly. Connecting to
USB-hubs or switches can cause problems.
Recording Programme
In case you do not have a recording programme installed on your computer, you may download one free from
the Internet. Recording programmes may be found by searching Google.
In the menu of the recording programme, source or input may have to be set to Microphone USB audio codec.

Mains power connection
The turntable is supplied with a power supply suitable for your country's mains supply. Check the label before
connecting to ensure compliance with the mains rating in your house.
Connect the low voltage plug from the power supply to the socket (10) on the rear of the record player
before
connecting the power supply to the mains.

Pressing the power switch (1) alternately starts or stops the motor.
