Adjustable Counterweight
Fine-tune the tonearm tracking force for stable groove tracking and more consistent playback.
Pre-Installed ATN-3600L MM Stylus
The pre-installed ATN-3600L stylus delivers accurate groove tracking and detailed sound, helping you get more from every record.
S-Shape Tonearm
The S-shaped tonearm provides stable tracking across the record, helping reduce unwanted vibration for smoother, more consistent playback.
RCA Output
Connect to external speakers or an amplifier for a larger, more powerful listening setup as your system grows.
Auto Stop
Automatically stops the platter at the end of playback, helping reduce unnecessary stylus wear and protecting your records.
Three-in-One, Ready for Vinyl
The R517 combines a turntable, amplifier, and built-in speakers in one complete system. No separate amplifier, speakers, or complicated setup required, giving you a simpler way to enjoy the full vinyl experience while keeping your space clean and focused on the music.
Built-in Four Speakers
The R517 features a 40W 2-way stereo system with two 15W woofers and two 5W tweeters. Dedicated drivers handle the low and high frequencies separately, delivering fuller bass, clearer vocals and high-frequency detail, and a more balanced listening experience. With the speakers built in, there’s no need for a separate speaker system.
Advanced Hi-Fi Chipset Performance
Powered by a dedicated Hi-Fi audio chipset, the R517 delivers precise signal processing with refined tonal balance and low distortion. Every layer of your vinyl is rendered with clarity and control, preserving detail and depth for a more authentic and immersive analog listening experience.
Tuned for Balanced Sound
Four spring-mounted points suspend and isolate the turntable mechanism from the cabinet, helping reduce vibration transfer and keeping the stylus tracking the groove more steadily for cleaner, more consistent playback.
A Balanced Sound Across the Frequency Range
The R517 delivers a 50Hz–20kHz frequency response with 88±3dB high-frequency and 85±3dB low-frequency sensitivity. The wide frequency range helps reproduce bass, vocals, and high-frequency detail with a balanced, natural presentation across your records.
Bluetooth Input for More Listening Options
Connect your phone or tablet within a 33 ft range and stream music directly from Spotify, Apple Music, or other apps through the R517’s built-in speakers.
Belt-Drive System for Stable Playback
The R517 uses a belt-driven system where the motor transfers power to the platter through a flexible drive belt. This helps isolate motor vibration from the platter, supporting smoother rotation and more stable stylus tracking.
Hand-Applied Wood-Grain Finish
The hand-applied wood-grain finish gives the R517 a warm vintage character, while black speaker grilles and gold accents complete its classic audio design.
ATN3600L Moving Magnet System
The stylus traces the record groove and transfers its movement to the moving magnet cartridge, where it is converted into an electrical audio signal. The conical stylus provides stable tracking and consistent playback across your vinyl collection.
Adjustable Counterweight
The counterweight balances the tonearm and adjusts the tracking force to 3.5 ± 0.5g, helping the stylus stay securely in the groove for consistent tracking, stable playback, and reduced wear.
S-Shaped Tonearm
The S-shaped design provides a balanced tonearm geometry for stable stylus tracking, while its classic profile adds a refined, vintage character to the turntable. The result is steady groove tracking with a distinctive look inspired by traditional hi-fi design.
Easy Knob Controls
Dedicated physical knobs give you direct, tactile control over volume and playback, while reinforcing the R517’s classic hi-fi character.
Full-Size 12-Inch Platter
The full-size 12-inch platter supports 7", 10", and 12" records, providing broader record support and a stable surface for consistent rotation and playback.

Frequently Asked Questions
-
No. The R517 is an three-in-one record player with built-in 40W stereo speakers and a built-in phono preamp, so you can play vinyl right out of the box without a separate amplifier, receiver, or external speakers.
Its four-speaker system combines two 15W full-range speakers with two 5W tweeters, delivering a fuller and more balanced listening experience in one complete system. -
No. The R517 supports Bluetooth input only.
This means your phone or tablet can send music to the R517, but the R517 cannot send vinyl audio wirelessly to Bluetooth speakers or Bluetooth headphones.
If you want to connect external audio equipment, use the RCA output. -
When properly balanced and used according to the recommended settings, the R517 is designed for safe everyday vinyl playback.
It uses an Audio-Technica AT3600L MM cartridge, adjustable tracking force, and a belt-drive system to provide stable groove tracking.
The recommended tracking force is 3.5 ± 0.5g.
Always make sure the tonearm is properly balanced and the tracking force is correctly adjusted before playing records. -
Yes. The R517 features an automatic stop function.
When Auto Stop is enabled, the platter stops automatically after the record finishes playing, helping prevent the stylus from continuing to track the end groove unnecessarily.
The tonearm remains in position and should be manually lifted and returned to its rest after playback. -
Skipping can happen for several reasons, including incorrect tracking force, an improperly installed belt or platter, an uneven surface, a dirty or damaged record, or an incorrectly installed stylus.
1. The stylus skips repeatedly at the same spot
If the stylus always skips at the same position on a record, the record may be scratched, warped, dirty, or damaged.
Solution: Clean the record and try playing the same section again. If it still skips at exactly the same spot, test another clean record.
2. The stylus skips across different records
If skipping occurs with multiple clean records, the issue is more likely related to the turntable setup, tracking force, or stylus.
Solution: Make sure the turntable is placed on a stable, level surface. Then check that the tonearm is properly balanced and the tracking force is set within the recommended 3.5 ± 0.5g range. Also check that the stylus is properly installed and free from dust or debris.
3. The stylus skips when the record is slightly warped
A warped record can cause the tonearm to move up and down excessively, which may result in skipping.
Solution: Test another flat record. If other records play normally, the issue is likely related to the warped record rather than the turntable.
4. The stylus skips near the beginning or end of the record
If skipping mainly occurs near the outer or inner grooves, check the tracking force and stylus installation first.
Solution: Recheck the tonearm balance and make sure the tracking force is within the recommended 3.5 ± 0.5g range. Make sure the stylus is securely installed and correctly positioned.
How to Tell Whether the Problem Is the Record, Stylus, or Turntable?
The easiest way to identify the source is to test another clean record.- Only one record skips: The record is likely dirty, scratched, or warped.
- Several records skip in the same way: Check the stylus, tonearm balance, tracking force, and turntable setup.
- Skipping continues with multiple clean records after the setup is confirmed: The stylus or turntable may require further inspection.
Before troubleshooting further, always place your record player on a stable, level surface and make sure the stylus is clean and properly installed.
