How do I properly set up my Reloop RP-7000 MK2 Silver Turntable for the first time?

To set up your Reloop RP-7000 MK2, place it on a stable surface, attach the platter and slipmat, balance the tonearm, set the tracking force as per the cartridge specifications, and connect it to your mixer or amplifier using the RCA cables. Ensure the ground wire is connected to prevent hum.

What should I do if the turntable's platter is not spinning?

First, check if the turntable is plugged in and turned on. Ensure that the start/stop button is functioning correctly. Verify that the power cord and RCA connections are secure. If the issue persists, it may require professional servicing.

How can I adjust the pitch control on the RP-7000 MK2?
