IMPORTANT: Do not connect the AC power cord until assembly is complete. 1. Carefully place the turntable platter on the center spindle, making certain the platter is fully seated on the spindle. 2. While holding both ends of the red tape ribbon on the turntable belt, carefully pull the belt over the motor pulley (Fig. 2a). (If the belt drops off, remove the turntable platter and put the belt back on it, as described on page 7.) 3. Once the belt is seated in the pulley’s groove, carefully remove the ribbon. Make certain the belt is not twisted. 4. Place the turntable mat on top of the turntable platter (Fig. 2b). 5. If desired, the hinged dust cover may be removed. Hold both sides of the dust cover and pull upward gently and evenly to detach the cover from the turntable (Fig. 2c). Keep the cover in a safe, clean place. 6. To re-install the dust cover, guide the dust cover hinges into the two hinge receptacles located at the back of the turntable housing Connecting to Computers with USB Input The USB cable (included) connects your AT-LP60-USB turntable to your computer without need for special drivers. Refer to included software guide (also available online at before connecting the turntable to your computer. Setting the Pre-amp (Phono/Line) Switch For increased flexibility of use, this turntable has an internal stereo phono pre-amplifier. The Pre-amp Selector (Phono/Line) Switch is located on the back of the turntable. If the stereo system you are using has a PHONO input, set the Pre-amp Selector Switch to the “PHONO” position. If your stereo system does not have a PHONO input, set the Pre-amp Selector Switch to the “LINE” position and connect the turntable’s output cables to the AUX or other high-level input on your stereo system (described later) (Fig. 3). NOTE: If you are using the USB cable to connect your turntable to a computer, the Pre-amp Selector Switch setting has no effect on USB operation.

Connect the red RCA-type pin-plug to the right channel input and the white RCA-type pin-plug to the left channel input of your stereo system (Fig. 3, page 4). 2. With the tone arm still fastened to the tone arm rest, slowly turn the turntable platter clockwise ten times, to make certain the automatic mechanism is fully cycled. 3. Remove the vinyl tie that holds the tone arm on its rest. 4. Connect the power cord plug to an AC outlet. 5. NOTE: You do not need to disconnect your turntable from your stereo system in order to connect it to a computer via the USB port. This allows you to monitor your recordings when using recording software. See software guide for further information. Operation English Initial Setup (continued) Connecting to Computers or Audio Devices with 3.5 mm Input The AT-LP60-USB connects without adapters to devices equipped with RCA connectors. For maximum flexibility, we have included two adapter cables to fit other popular audio inputs. The first of these adapter cables-dual RCA to stereo 3.5 mm mini-plug (male)-is designed to fit most popular computer* audio inputs. It may also be used to connect the turntable’s RCA output to other equipment, including: • a stereo/boombox* equipped with a 3.5 mm mini input • powered speakers* equipped with a 3.5 mm mini input • a mixer* or PA system* equipped with a 3.5 mm mini jack The second included adapter cable–dual RCA to stereo 3.5 mm mini- plug (female)–permits connection of the turntable output to amplified speakers* or similar devices. The 3.5 mm stereo minijack on the cable adapter accepts stereo mini-plugs. To use either adapter cable, connect the turntable’s red and white RCA- type plugs to the cable adapter’s RCA-type jacks. * When using either cable adapter, always set the AT-LP60-USB turntable’s Pre-amp Selector Switch to the “LINE” position. (Switch is located on the back of the turntable.) NOTE: If connection is desired to a mono amplifier/speaker, make certain to use a stereo-to-mono adapter, available from your dealer or an electronic parts store. Inserting a mono plug in ...
