SECURITY AND THE ENVIRONMENT
ELECTRICAL SECURITY
Check that the current in the mains connection where the machine is to be installed corresponds to the
power supply of the machine.
To avoid damaging the equipment, electrical shocks, fire or physical injury when you connect or disconnect
the equipment from the power supply, pull the plug firmly out of the mains socket holding the plug, never the
cable.
Always do this with dry hands.
Keep the power supply cable far from sources of heat. Do not put heavy objects on top of it or change it.
Clean dust and dirt off the power supply cable regularly.
Do not open the machine; you could get an electric shock.
CAUTION
While installing the machine, make sure it is switched off and unplugged.
Do not open the machine. Touching the internal parts is dangerous and you could receive an electric shock.
The machine must not be splashed or dripped on. Never place recipients with liquid inside on the machine.
Do not place anything inside the machine.
LOCATION
Place the equipment on a horizontal surface with enough space around it to allow ventilation.
Avoid direct sunlight, heat sources and excessive dust.
Do not place the machine near magnetic fields or static electricity.
Do not use surfaces which vibrate or receive impact.
Do not pile machines on top of one another.
VENTILATION
Never block or cover the ventilation slits on the machine.
Do not expose it to direct sunlight or place it near sources of heat.
PERIODS OF INACTIVITY
When the machine is not going to be used for a long period of time, disconnect it from the mains.
If you are using an adapter, take into account that it will continue using electricity even if the machine is
switched off. If it is not going to be used for a long period of time, disconnect it from the mains.
THE ENVIRONMENT
To save energy, switch the machine off when you are not going to use it for a long time. The machine could
contain substances that are harmful to the environment or human health. To minimize the effect of these
substances the machine must be correctly managed and recycled when you decide to dispose of it.
When you dispose of it remember: it cannot be thrown into a conventional rubbish bin.
If it contains or uses batteries, these must be disposed of separately.
The machine (without batteries) must be disposed of correctly. Put it in a container specially intended for the
collection of electronic and electrical appliances, at the dump or hand it over to the dealer when you purchase
similar equipment, so that the dealer can dispose of it correctly (at no added cost).

RECORDING
To record vinyl records directly in MP3 format in the corresponding port, follow the steps below:
1.- Connect a USB storage device with FAT32 format or an SD memory card. At this moment, the LED
recording indicator will start to flash.
After a few seconds, it will stop flashing and will stay alight. At this moment the turntable is prepared to
start recording.
2.- Start playing the vinyl record.
3.- Press the RECORD button to start recording. The LED indicator will start flashing slowly.
4.- If you want to divide the recording into different files, press the SPLIT button as many times as the amount
of different files you want to record. This function is specially suitable for dividing the whole record into
individual songs.
5.- Press the RECORD button to stop the recording whenever you want. The LED recording indicator will flash
quickly for a few seconds and will then stay alight.
Note: do not remove the USB storage device or the SD memory card until the LED recording indicator stops
flashing as otherwise you could damage the recorded files.
Note: the recordings will be stored in the memory device in a file with the name PROFILE, which is created
if it does not already exist. Others called ALBUM will be created within this folder, which will store the
recordings individually and consecutively. If the recordings are made without using the SPLIT button
(without dividing the recording), there will be just one file with the name REC_001 in the corresponding
folder. On the otherhand, if you have used the SPLIT button to divide the recording in several parts,
these will be stored in the same ALBUM folder with consecutive numbering (REC_001, REC_002,
REC_003, etc.).
