Connecting to Computers or Audio Devices with 3.5 mm Input The AT-LP120-USB connects without adapters to devices equipped with RCA connectors. For maximum flexibility, we have included two adapter cables to fit other popular audio inputs. The first of these adapter cables – dual RCA to stereo 3.5 mm mini-plug (male) – is designed to fit most popular computer* audio inputs. It may also be used to connect the turntable’s RCA output to other equipment, including: • a stereo/boombox* equipped with a 3.5 mm minijack • input powered speakers* equipped with a 3.5 mm minijack • input a mixer* or PA system* equipped with a 3.5 mm minijack The second included adapter cable – dual RCA to stereo 3.5 mm mini- plug (female) – permits connection of the turntable output to amplified speakers* or similar devices. The 3.5 mm stereo minijack on the cable adapter accepts stereo mini-plugs. To use either adapter cable, connect the turntable’s red and white RCA- type plugs to the cable adapter’s RCA-type jacks. * When using either cable adapter, always set the AT-LP120-USB turntable’s Pre-amp Selector Switch to the “LINE” position. (Switch is located on the back of the turntable.) nOTe: If connection is desired to a mono amplifier/speaker, make certain to use a stereo-to-mono adapter, available from your dealer or an electronic parts store. Inserting a mono plug in the stereo jack will disable one of the stereo channels. Other adapter cable configurations will be available from dealers and parts stores for connecting to devices needing different terminations. Finally, after all other connections are made, attach the included AC power cord to the turntable; note that the small connector only goes in one way. Then connect the power cord’s plug to a convenient AC outlet. For best results, do not install or operate this unit near conditions of heat, moisture, dust, or heavy vibrations. (note: Bright fluorescent lights may affect the visibility of the speed-indicating strobe dots. If this is a problem, simply cover the area with your hand, an album cover, etc.) Preparing to Play 1. Remove the stylus guard from the stylus assembly and unlock the tone arm rest if it is locked. 2. Turn the power dial to the On position. The speed selector and strobe illuminator will light up. 3. If desired, push the stylus target light button to raise and turn on the light for illumination of the stylus tip position on the record. 4. Place a record on the slip mat, lining up its center hole with the center spindle. For 45 RPM records, place the 45 RPM adapter on the center spindle before placing the record on the platter. 5. Set the platter rotation speed (33/45/78) to match that of the record. (note: To set the platter speed for 78 RPM, push both the 33 and 45 RPM buttons simultaneously.) Playing the Record 1. Press the start/stop button; the platter begins to rotate. 2. Raise the tone arm by lifting the tone arm lift control lever to the UP position. 3. Position the tone arm over the desired location (groove) on the record. 4. Lower the tone arm by moving the tone arm lift control lever to the DOWn position. The tone arm descends slowly onto the record and play begins. – or – Use the finger-lift on the headshell assembly to position the tone arm over the desired location on the record. Carefully lower the tone arm to the record surface. English Operation Checking and Adjusting Pitch 1. If desired, select a +/– 10% or +/– 20% pitch adjustment range by pressing the pitch button. Then move the pitch adjust slide control up or down to make pitch adjustments. (note: The pitch adjust slide control has center detent position for 0% pitch variation.) 2. As illuminated by the red light coming from beneath the power dial, observe the strobe dots on the edge of the platter. If the appropriate row of strobe dots appears to be stationary, the platter is moving at the precise rated speed. If the dots appear to be moving to the right, the platter is moving below rated speed; if they appear to be moving to the left, the platter is moving above rated speed. 33 50Hz 33 60Hz 45 45 3. If the quartz speed lock button is pressed, the internal quartz lock will hold the platter at precise rated speed regardless of the position of the pitch adjust slide control. (note: The LeD indicator to the left of the pitch adjust slide control’s center position will illuminate GReen when the quartz lock is active and ReD when variable pitch is active.) 4. If desired, press the direction button to reverse the rotation of the platter. The appropriate direction LeD will illuminate. Suspending or Ending Play 1. To suspend play, lift the tone arm with the cueing lever. 2. When play is finished, raise the cueing lever, move the tone arm to the rest position and secure the tone arm with the tone arm locking clamp. 3. If using the stylus target light, turn it off by pushing the light down. 4. Press the start/stop button to apply the brake and stop the platter rotation. 5. Turn the power dial to ...
