Using your Audio-Technica AT-LPW50BT-RW turntable is easy. First, connect the turntable to your amplifier or speakers using the RCA cable. If you want to use Bluetooth, pair it with your device. Place a record on the platter and use the tonearm to gently lower the stylus onto the record. Select the appropriate speed (33 1/3 or 45 RPM) using the speed control. When you're done, lift the tonearm and return it to its rest position. As for maintenance, keep the turntable clean by using the included record brush. You can also clean the stylus gently with a stylus brush. Avoid exposing the turntable to dust and moisture. If you plan to upgrade the stylus, make sure to choose one from the VM series. And don't forget to use the dust cover when the turntable is not in use to protect it from dust and scratches.
