Sure! Here are the step-by-step instructions for setting up the Audio-Technica AT-LP120 USB Direct-Drive Turntable System:
1. Unpacking: Carefully unpack the turntable and make sure all the parts are included and intact. This includes the slip mat, dust cover, platter, dust cover hinges, 45 RPM adapter, counterweight, headshell with pre-mounted cartridge, power cord, USB cable, and adapter cables.
2. Setting the Voltage Selector Switch: Locate the voltage selector switch on the top of the housing deck, under the platter. Set the switch according to the voltage in your area (115V or 230V AC, 60/50 Hz).
3. Setting the Pre-amp Selector Switch: The turntable has an internal stereo phono pre-amplifier. Use the pre-amp selector switch located on the rear panel to select the appropriate output (PHONO OUT for systems with magnetic phono inputs, or LINE OUT for systems without a PHONO input).
4. Assembling the Tone Arm: Remove the vinyl tie securing the tone arm during shipment. Temporarily secure the tone arm in the tone arm rest with the locking clamp. Attach the headshell assembly by inserting it into the socket at the front of the tone arm. Rotate the headshell locking ring counter-clockwise to lock it into place. Attach the counterweight to the arm extending back from the tone arm pivot.
5. Assembling the Turntable Platter and Slip Mat: Place the turntable platter on the center spindle, ensuring it is fully seated. Place the soft black slip mat on top of the platter.
6. Assembling the Dust Cover: Insert the T-shaped ends of the dust cover hinges into the hinge receptacles located at the back of the turntable housing. Guide the cover hinges into the slots molded into the rear of the dust cover. The springs in the hinges allow the cover to be held open at a 45° angle if desired.
7. Connections: Connect the audio output cable to the appropriate input jacks on your mixer, amplifier, soundcard, or other device based on the pre-amp selector switch setting. Use the USB cable to connect the turntable to your computer if desired.
8. Preparing to Play: Remove the stylus guard, turn the power dial to the ON position, and place a record on the slip mat. Set the platter rotation speed (33/45/78) to match the record. Press the start/stop button to engage the motor and lower the tone arm onto the record.
These are the basic steps to set up the Audio-Technica AT-LP120 turntable. For more detailed instructions and information, please refer to the user manual provided with the product.
