Assembling the Turntable Note When you purchased your turntable, a stylus's protective cover was attached to the stylus. Leave on the cover as you assemble your turntable. Do not connect your turntable to a power outlet with the AC adaptor until you are finished with assembly. The stylus is a high precision component. Do not touch the stylus while handling it. Touching the stylus with your fingers, or banging the stylus into the platter, may cause damage to the stylus.

Keep the unit away from electronic devices that may emit radio waves or electromagnetic noise. Attaching the platter 1 Place the platter on the spindle. Keep the platter level while placing it on the spindle. Platter Motor pulley Spindle Note Hold the platter firmly so as not to drop the platter as it may cause personal injuries or damage to your turntable. 2 Turn the platter to the position where you can see the motor pulley through the rectangular hole with the tips of the red ribbon taped on the platter. Motor pulley Red ribbon G e t t i n g S t a r t e d 11 PS-LX310BT.GB (UC2 AU).4-748-755-11 (1) PS-LX310BT.GB (UC2 AU).4-748-755-11 (1) 3 Peel off the adhesive tape, pull and hold the red ribbon, and then hook the drive belt around the motor pulley. Note Be careful to not let the drive belt twist. If the drive belt is twisted while placing it around the motor pulley, the speed will become unstable and the platter will stop after it begins rotating. If this happens, place the drive belt around the motor pulley again. When placing the drive belt around the platter, do not stretch the drive belt roughly. Doing so degrades the drive belt, which causes the sound's pitch to fluctuate and be too high. If the drive belt comes off of the platter's inner circle while you are placing the drive belt around it, temporarily remove the platter. Turn the platter over and wind the drive belt around the circumference of the inner circle. Then, start again from the beginning of the procedure. Be sure to remove the red ribbon after you place the drive belt around the motor pulley. The red ribbon is intended to help you with this work. Placing the drive belt around the motor pulley is still possible without the red ribbon. The red ribbon is no longer needed once you have attached the platter. 4 Place the mat for the platter onto the platter. 5 Do the following operations to set the operating mechanism for the platter and tone arm to its initial state. Remove the string that is holding the tone arm. Press the UP/DOWN button to raise 12 the tone arm. Use your hand to slowly rotate the platter clockwise 10 times. Press the UP/DOWN button to lower the tone arm. The platter's rotation and the tone arm's movement can be stabilized. Attaching the dust cover 1 Insert the supplied dust cover hinges to the hinge pockets on the dust cover. Hinge pockets Dust cover hinges 2 Align the attached hinges with the hinge pockets on the rear of your turntable and push in the dust cover. Tip To remove the dust cover from the turntable, fully open the dust cover, grasp both sides near the bottom of the cover, and then gently pull it out in the upward direction. Connecting Your Turntable Connecting via the audio cable Note Be sure to turn off the audio device, such as a stereo system or an amplifier, before connection. Be sure to make all the connections before you connect the AC adaptor to a power outlet. 1 Connect the audio cable, which comes out from the back of the turntable, to the PHONO input jack, AUX input jack, or analog input jack for the audio device. Connect the white plug to the white (L) jack and the red plug to the red (R) jack. Note Be sure to insert the plugs firmly into the jacks. Loose connection will cause playback noises. PS-LX310BT.GB (UC2 AU).4-748-755-12 (1) PS-LX310BT.GB (UC2 AU).4-748-755-11 (1) Attaching the dust cover 1 Insert the supplied dust cover hinges to the hinge pockets on the dust cover. Hinge pockets Dust cover hinges 2 Align the attached hinges with the hinge pockets on the rear of your turntable and push in the dust cover. Connecting Your Turntable Connecting via the audio cable Note Be sure to turn off the audio device, such as a stereo system or an amplifier, before connection. Be sure to make all the connections before you connect the AC adaptor to a power outlet. 1 Connect the audio cable, which comes out from the back of the turntable, to the PHONO input jack, AUX input jack, or analog input jack for the audio device. Connect the white plug to the white (L) jack and the red plug to the red (R) jack. 2 Switch the OUTPUT SELECT switch on the back of the turntable according to the connected audio device's jack. If the audio device has a PHONO input jack (connected to the PHONO input jack) Set the switch to PHONO. An audio signal from the MM cartridge is output from the audio cable without passing through the phono preamp built into the turntable. The phono preamp for the audio device is used. If the audio device does not have a PHONO input jack (connected to the AUX input jack, VIDEO input jack, etc.) Set the switch to LINE. The audio signal that passes through the phono preamp built into the turntable is output from the audio cable. G e t t i n g S t a r t e d Tip To remove the dust cover from the turntable, fully open the dust cover, grasp both sides near the bottom of the cover, and then gently pull it out in the upward direction. Note Be sure to insert the plugs firmly into the jacks. Loose connection will cause playback noises. Note If you are only using the BLUETOOTH connection and not connecting the turntable to another device using the audio cable, place the audio cable so that its metal tips do not touch each other or any metallic parts from racks or other devices. Then, set the OUTPUT SELECT switch to LINE to use the turntable. Connecting the audio cable to the PHONO input jack and setting the OUTPUT SELECT switch to LINE may produce a very loud sound that may break the amp or speaker. Always set the switch to PHONO when connecting to the PHONO input jack. Connecting the audio cable to an analog input jack, such as an AUX input jack, and setting the OUTPUT SELECT switch to PHONO produces only a very quiet sound. Always set the switch to LINE when connecting to the analog input jack. 13 PS-LX310BT.GB (UC2 AU).4-748-755-11 (1) PS-LX310BT.GB (UC2 AU).4-748-755-11 (1) Tip The OUTPUT SELECT switch is set to LINE at the time of purchase. Connecting with the BLUETOOTH function 3 Connect the AC adaptor. Note To avoid noise interference, place the AC adaptor body away from your turntable as far as possible. You can enjoy playing vinyl records by using your turntable's BLUETOOTH function to connect wirelessly to a playback device (not supplied) that supports BLUETOOTH wireless technology, such as BLUETOOTH speakers or BLUETOOTH headphones. The jolts from pressing the BLUETOOTH button/
vinyl record may cause the stylus to skip. We recommend connecting to BLUETOOTH before playing a vinyl record. PAIRING button while playing a Note Do not connect to headphones for which you cannot adjust the volume. Audio tracks may be played at very loud volumes.
