Using your Audio - Technica AT - LP3BK turntable is easy. First, plug in the power cord. You can choose between 33 1/3 and 45 RPM speeds depending on your record. Place the record on the die - cast aluminum platter with the rubber mat. Use the automatic play button to start the record, and the tonearm will safely and precisely hit the grooves. When the record ends, the tonearm will return to the rest. If you want to connect it to your stereo or powered speakers, use the built - in switchable phono/line preamp. You can also swap the cartridge on the universal headshell if you want a different sound. Remember to keep the removable dustcover on when not in use to protect the turntable from dust. For maintenance, clean the platter and tonearm regularly with a soft cloth. Check the stylus on the AT91R cartridge often, and replace it with the ATN91R when it gets worn out. This will keep your turntable in good condition and ensure a great listening experience.
