Can I connect the AT-LP60X to Bluetooth speakers?

The AT-LP60X does not have built-in Bluetooth. To connect to Bluetooth speakers, you will need a separate Bluetooth transmitter that connects to the turntable's RCA output.

Store vinyl records vertically in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and heat sources. Use inner and outer sleeves to protect them from dust and scratches. Proper storage helps prevent warping and preserves sound quality.

How do I balance the tonearm on the AT-LP60X?

The AT-LP60X is a fully automatic turntable and does not require manual tonearm balancing. The tonearm is pre-set during manufacturing to ensure optimal tracking force.
