Essential Components

Before you begin, ensure you have all the necessary components:

• Turntable base
• Platter
• Belt
• Cartridge and stylus
• Dust cover
• RCA cables (if connecting to a wired system)

Step-by-Step Assembly

1. Unpack and Inspect

Carefully unpack the turntable and inspect all components for any damage. If you notice any issues, contact Audio-Technica customer support immediately.

2. Place the Turntable Base

Choose a stable and level surface for the turntable base. Ensure it’s not too close to heat sources or vibrations.

3. Install the Platter

Place the platter on the center spindle of the turntable base. Align the notches on the platter with the spindle.

4. Mount the Belt

Locate the small belt and loop it around the motor pulley (the smaller pulley) and the platter (the larger pulley). Ensure the belt is properly seated in the grooves.

5. Install the Cartridge and Stylus

The cartridge and stylus come pre-installed, but you may need to adjust them slightly. Carefully align the cartridge with the tonearm and tighten the mounting screws. Then, gently lower the stylus onto the record.

6. Connect the RCA Cables (Optional)

If you’re connecting the turntable to a wired system, use the included RCA cables. Connect the red cable to the right audio input and the white cable to the left input.

7. Install the Dust Cover

Place the dust cover over the turntable to protect it from dust and debris.

Additional Features

a. Bluetooth® Pairing

To connect the turntable to your Bluetooth® speaker or headphones, press the “Bluetooth” button on the turntable. Then, select “AT-LP60XBT” from your device’s Bluetooth® settings.

b. Tonearm Adjustment

The tonearm’s counterweight helps balance the stylus pressure on the record. Adjust the counterweight by turning the knob at its end until the stylus floats just above the record.
