Using this turntable is easy. First, you can choose to connect it to your stereo or powered speakers either via cable or Bluetooth. If you use Bluetooth, make sure your device supports Bluetooth 5.0 with aptX + SBC codec. Just turn on the turntable and pair it with your Bluetooth device. For cable connection, use the included cables. To start playing a record, place it on the record mat and press the start button. The turntable will automatically stop and the arm will return to the ready position when the record is finished. Remember, all open box / b - stock items are final sale. When it comes to maintenance, keep the removable hinged dust cover on when not in use to protect the turntable from dust. The cartridge has a replaceable stylus (ATN3600L), so when the stylus wears out, you can easily replace it to keep the sound quality good.
