Using your Audio - Technica AT - LP60X - GM turntable is a breeze. First, make sure the power supply is set to your local voltage (it can handle 100 - 240 V). Plug it into an AUX input of your audio system using the provided cable. Place a record on the platter, and if it's a 45 rpm record, use the 45 adaptor. Press the start button, and the tonearm will automatically move to the record and start playing. When the record ends, the auto - stop function will return the tonearm and turn off the motor. For maintenance, keep the turntable clean. Use a soft, dry cloth to wipe the body and the dust cover. The cartridge has a replaceable stylus, so when it wears out, you can easily replace it. Remember, this is an open - box item, and all sales are final, so handle it with care. Also, since the exterior packaging may be damaged, store it in a safe place if you need to keep it.
