Using your Audio-Technica AT-LP70X turntable is a breeze. First, connect it to your audio system using the RCA cable that comes with it. If you want, you can switch on the built - in phono preamp, but you can also turn it off if your audio system already has a preamp. Place a record on the platter, and if it's a 45rpm record, use the 45 adaptor. Press the start button, and the tonearm will move to the record and start playing. At the end of the record, the auto - stop function will return the tonearm and turn off the motor. To manually cue a record, use the tonearm lift lever. Remember to lock the tonearm when you're not using the turntable to prevent it from accidentally jumping onto the record. For maintenance, keep the turntable clean. Use a soft, dry cloth to wipe the exterior and the platter. The removable dust cover helps protect the turntable from dust. If you want to upgrade the sound, you can change the stylus with any VM95 Series stylus. Also, note that this is an open - box item, and all sales are final, so handle it with care.
