Using your Korg Handytraxx Tube Jico Portable Turntable is easy. First, choose your power source. You can either use the AC adapter or insert six AA batteries (alkaline or nickel - metal hydride). Once powered on, place your vinyl record on the platter. Adjust the counterweight on the tonearm to ensure optimal tracking. You can use the built - in stereo speakers, and don't forget to play around with the BASS and TREBLE tone controls to get your preferred sound. When you're done, put the dust cover on to protect your turntable. As for maintenance, keep it clean. Use a soft, dry cloth to wipe the surface and the platter. Avoid touching the cartridge and styli with your fingers as this can damage them. If you're using batteries, remove them when the turntable is not in use for a long time to prevent leakage. Also, store your turntable in a cool, dry place to keep it in good working condition.
