Handling Vinyl Records

NOTE: Only handle vinyl records with clean hands and hold them by the edge or the label. Do not touch the record grooves.
· Keep your vinyl records in protective sleeves when not in use to avoid dust and scratches. · Store vinyl records upright. Records stored horizontally may bend and warp. · Avoid placing vinyl records in direct sunlight, close to any heat source (radiator, stoves etc.)
or in a location that may be subject to vibration, excessive dust, heat, cold or moisture. · To clean a vinyl record, gently wipe the surface in a circular motion using a soft anti-static
cloth.
Playing Vinyl Records
To play a vinyl record, follow the steps below. 1. Turn the Power/Volume Dial (No. 9 on the Turntable parts list) clockwise until you hear a `click'
sound. The LED Power Indicator Light will illuminate red, indicating that the Turntable Briefcase is now turned on.
IMPORTANT: Before playing a vinyl record, turn down the volume of the Turntable Briefcase to avoid possible loud crackling noises. The crackling noises made by the stylus coming into contact with the vinyl record could damage the unit. Wait until the stylus is completely placed on the vinyl record, and then turn up the volume.
2. Set the Auto Stop Switch (No. 7 on the Turntable parts list) to the ON position. The unit will now be set to automatically stop after the completion of play of the vinyl record. If the Auto Stop Switch is set to the OFF position, the unit will not stop automatically.
3. Choose the desired playing speed using the Speed Selection Switch (No. 5 on the Turntable parts list). Select between 33, 45 and 78 RPM.
NOTE: When playing a 45 RPM record, use the included 45 RPM adaptor on the record spindle.
4. Carefully place the vinyl record on the Turntable. 5. Unlock the Tone Arm Lock by moving it up and away from the Tone Arm itself. 6. Raise the Tone Arm using the Cue lever, or carefully with your hand. 7. Place the Tone Arm vertically over the first track of the record or over the outer edge of the vinyl
record. The Turntable will start spinning.
IMPORTANT: If an auxiliary cable is connected to the unit, the Turntable will not spin.
8. Lower the stylus onto the vinyl record using the Cue Lever.

Instructions (cont.)
Using the Headphone Output
The Turntable Briefcase features a 3.5mm headphone output (No. 6 on the Turntable parts list). When headphones or external speakers with a 3.5mm pin are attached to the Turntable Briefcase via the headphone output, all sound will be diverted to the headphones or external speakers, and no sound will be played via the unit's inbuilt speakers. Ensure that the 3.5mm plug is removed from the Turntable Briefcase when required, to ensure that sound is played via the unit's inbuilt speakers once again.
Using the Auxiliary Input
The Turntable Briefcase features a 3.5mm auxiliary input (No. 10 on the Turntable parts list) which allows audio from various media devices with a 3.5mm output jack such as CD players, smart phones, tablets or computers, to be played through the unit's inbuilt speakers. To use the auxiliary input, follow the steps below.
1. Turn the Power/Volume Dial (No. 9 on the Front and Rear Control Panels parts list) clockwise until you hear a `click' sound. The LED Power Indicator Light will illuminate red, indicating that the Turntable Briefcase is now turned on.

2. Connect one end of the auxiliary cable (not included) into the auxiliary port on the Turntable Briefcase.
3. Connect the other end of the auxiliary cable into the desired media device. 4. Use the media device (not the Turntable Briefcase) to control playback.
NOTE: The volume can be controlled on both the connected media device and the Turntable Briefcase itself.

Cleaning and Maintenance
Before cleaning the Turntable Briefcase, ensure the unit is switched off and disconnected from the power source.
The Turntable Briefcase is likely only to require regular "dusting" to keep it clean. Use a standard duster, or dry soft microfibre cloth to remove the dust from the unit.
