Assembling the Turntable
The AT-LP2D-USB requires some assembly before first use.
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-LP2D-USB
turntable to your computer without need for special drivers.
Refer to included software guide (also available online at
www.audio-technica.com) 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.
