Assembling the Turntable
The
AT-LP120-USB requires some assembly before first use.
IMPORTANT: Do not connect the
AC
power cord until assembly is
complete.
Setting the Voltage Selector Switch
This turntable
has
the capability to
be
used
with
either 115V or 230V
AC
power, 60/50
Hz.
The voltage selector switch is located
on
the
top of the housing deck, under the platter. Set the switch according
to the voltage
in
your
area.
[See Figure
4.J
(Note: The turntable comes
shipped
with
the voltage selector switch set for 115V
AC.)

Setting the Pre-amp Selector Switch
For
increased flexibility of use, this turntable
has
an
internal stereo
phono pre-amplifier. The pre-amp selector switch located
in
the
rear-
panel of the turntable [See Figure
3,
page
4,
#29], selects the internal
stereo pre-amplifier
(LINE
OUT),
or bypasses the pre-amp (PHONO
OUT)
for use with systems having specialized magnetic phono input jacks.
The
audio output cable's
Red
RCA-type plug
is
the Right channel; the White
plug
is
the Left channel.
If the system you
are
using has a PHONO input, set the pre-amp
selector switch to the PHONO OUT position
and
connect the
turntable's output cables
to
the PHONO inputs
on
your system,
observing
Red
for Right channel
and
White for Left channel.
If your system does not
have
a PHONO (magnetic phono) input, set the
pre-amp selector switch to
LINE
OUT
and
connect the turntable's output
cables to the Auxiliary
(AUX)
or other high-level inputs
on
your system,
observing
Red
for Right channel
and
White for Left channel.
Initial Setup
When using the turntable with a computer sound
card,
set the switch
to
LINE
OUT
and
connect the turntable
to
the audio line input
on
the
computer sound card. Note:
An
audio adapter (not included) may
be
required to interface the
two
RCA
jacks of the turntable output cable to
the computer sound
card
input.
Assembling the Tone Arm
(Note: The headshell
and
cartridge
are
supplied pre-assembled with the
AT-LP120-USB.l
1. Remove the vinyl tie used to secure the tone arm during
shipment. Temporarily secure the tone arm
in
the tone arm
rest with the locking clamp. [Figure
2,
page
4,
#23.]
2.
Attach the headshell assembly by inserting it into the
socket at the front of the tone arm [See Figure
5.J
(It's
good practice always to hold a headshell assembly
by
the
left
and
right edges of the headshell to reduce the
possibility of damaging the stylus or disrupting the
cartridge wiring.)
3.
While holding the headshell
in
position, rotate the
headshell locking ring counter-clockwise (to the left).
As
the ring turns, it pulls the headshell into its seated
position. (Rotate the ring a full turn to the right to permit
removal of the headshell.l
4.
With its black dial toward the front, use a screwing motion
to attach the counterweight to the arm extending back
from the tone arm pivot [Figure
2,
page
4,
#271;
the
counterweight will engage the spiral groove
in
the rear arm
section
and
move forward.

Assembling the Turntable Platter and Slip
Mat
1.
Carefully place the turntable platter
on
the center spindle,
making certain the platter
is
fully seated
on
the spindle.
[See Figure
6.J
2.
Place
the soft black slip mat on top of the platter.
