Using Compact LP with Your Computer

Playback

There are 2 ways to listen to your vinyl records with Compact LP!

1. If you prefer to use your own stereo speakers, you can connect Compact LP's RCA

outputs to a stereo system or to powered speakers. Do not connect them to phono-level

inputs; Compact LP's RCA outputs are line-level and could damage a device with phono-

level inputs. (Any other standard input type, such as CD, Aux In, or Tape is acceptable).

2. You can listen through your computer using your own external speakers, or through

headphones connected to your computer. (Compact LP cannot be used as a playback

device for your computer's audio.) See Setting Your Computer’s Soundcard as the

Default Playback Device before playing back your computer music.

Setting Your Computer's Soundcard as the Default Playback Device

• Windows XP: Click Start Menu > Control Panel (or Settings > Control Panel in Classic

View) > Sound and Audio Devices. Click the Audio tab and under Sound playback,

select your computer's soundcard as the default device.

• Windows Vista: Click Start Menu > Control Panel (or Settings > Control Panel in Classic

View) > Hardware and Sound > Sound. Click the Playback tab and select your

computer's soundcard as the default device.

• Windows 7 / Windows 8 / Windows 10: Click Start Menu > Control Panel > Sound.

Click the Playback tab and select your computer's soundcard as the default device.

• Mac OS X: Click the upper-left "apple" icon then click System Preferences > Sound.

Click the Output tab. From the menu, select Internal Speakers if you are using the

computer's internal speakers or select Headphones if you are using speakers or

headphones attached to the computer's 1/8" (3.5 mm) headphone output.
