Just bought one of these and used this video to set it up. This unit is actually nicer and more featured than some higher-end turntables I've seen. I'm quite pleased with it so far.

I've had this turntable for over a year now and it's awesome, I love everything about it. Don't think I'll ever replace it if I don't need to.

I am so glad that this video is teaching some real manuals operation like decades ago, instead of warning people that the cartridge is not edible or please do not put cd on this player etc like nowadays product manual

You gave the invaluable information that I critically needed. At my former home my turntable was set on the “phono” setting in the back of the turntable. When I set it up in my new home, incorporating it with my new Sony stereo and 5.1 Dolby system, I was not getting hardly any volume. It was because I needed to set the turntable switch to “Line” setting, due to the RCA input I am now using on the back of the stereo. Now I have LPs playing at full volume. Thanks so much!!!

I listen to soundtracks and music on this turntable and it performs excellent. Used this tutorial for a easy set up. Had it for 2 yrs.

Just upgraded to this turntable. I can instantly tell the difference
The set up was pretty easy

Hi there, I have to say this is one of the best turntables out there, what you didn't mention was pressing the 45 and 331/3 rpm buttons allows it to play records at 78rpm. This is well worth the money! It's just ashame it's fully manual, and doesn't have an auto return, when the record finishes.

Bought mine and just set it up today using this video. Could not have been easier. Thank you!

I just got my AT-LP120XUSB for Christmas...set it up with the help of this YT video then paired it with my Klipsch "The One II" Speaker!!! Sounds GREAT!!!

Great video I get my 120 and a couple days!!! I will definitely be referring back to this video for setup!

One MAJOR omission on this instructional video!!! I had a similar problem that MANY others have as well, where my Windows10 recognizes the USB turntable, but Audacity doesn't recognize it. You show the switch on the back that is either Phono or Line, but you don't fully explain this switch. If you are trying to record directly to a PC, the switch must be on Line for the system to work. My guess is that Phono is for going through a preamp and into a stereo. Otherwise, I enjoyed this video.

My first turntable and I think it's best choice!!! Amazing sound with Presonus Eris 4.5 + Sub8. Super easy setup. Audio-technica a Best brand!!!

I just got one for my birthday and I couldn't be happier with the quality. Also, I followed this video to set it up and it's easy as cake.
