A:AnswerIt does not come fully assembled. You have to set the turn table in place, attach the belt to the drive and put the platter pad on the turn table. The belt is already around the turntable. You just have to carefully stretch it a little bit to place it around the drive. It can be operated manually if you want to. We use the Start button to automatically operate the arm. When it comes to the end it automatically returns to the arm rest and turns off. No apps. We have it paired with our sound bar with bluetooth. I do suggest you set the output on high for the best sound. We love listening to our old albums we have not heard in many years.
A:AnswerThere is a separate USB (USB B) port in the back IO of the turntable that you would use to connect to a PC. Keep in mind this USB cable is not included with the turntable and would have to be purchased separately. You would also need a recording software if you do not already have one. I have not used this function though so cannot comment more on it.
A:AnswerI think not since it’s paired to your iPhone so you can control the volume.
I would recommend a set of powered speakers like the klipsch like the R-41pm speakers they have BT capability and would work perfect with your table.
A:AnswerThe base is about 13 3/4 " deep and the cover hinges add another 5/8" to make it 14 3/8" deep. But the footprint of the bottom that would come in contact with your table is only 12". So it should sit easily on your table. Just don't put the table against a wall or you might not have room to open the cover.
