Using your Audio - Technica AT - LPW40WN turntable is easy. First, place the turntable on a flat and stable surface. Connect the AC adapter to a power outlet that matches the power supply requirements (100 - 240 V, 50/60 Hz). Then, connect the RCA audio cable to your amplifier or speakers. If your device doesn't have a dedicated phono input, select the appropriate pre - amp setting on the turntable.
Before playing a record, put on the turntable mat and place the record on the platter. Use the 45 - RPM adapter if you're playing a 45 - RPM record. Adjust the tracking force on the tonearm according to the record's requirements. Then, gently lower the tonearm onto the record to start playing.
When you're done, lift the tonearm and turn off the turntable. It's a good idea to cover the turntable with the dust cover to protect it from dust and scratches.
For maintenance, keep the turntable clean. You can use a soft, dry cloth to wipe the platter and the exterior. If the stylus gets dirty, use a stylus brush to clean it gently. Check the drive belt regularly for wear and tear. Replace it if it looks damaged. Also, make sure to keep the turntable away from extreme temperatures and humidity to ensure its long - term performance.
