Playing a record

Before playing a record

1.  Remove the cartridge’s protector.

• 

Pull the protector straight forward to remove it.

• 

Applying a downward force may cause the stylus to come 

off the body. Only low volume is output if the stylus has 

come off, or is about to come off, so refer to “Replacing 

the stylus” on p. 9 to reattach the stylus correctly.

2.  Place the record on the felt mat so that the center hole 

aligns with the spindle.

• 

If playing a 45 RPM record with a large center hole, attach 

the 45 RPM adapter (see the right side of the diagram below).

Automatic operation

Lower the volume of the amplifier, speakers, etc. sufficiently.

1.  Select the size with the size selector.

• 

Select “12"” for an LP record with a 12" diameter, and “7"” 

for a 45 RPM record with a 7" diameter.

2.  Press the speed with the platter speed button.

• 

Select “33” for a 33-1/3 RPM record, and “45” for a 45 

RPM record.

3.  Press the START button.

• 

Do not bump the product while the record is playing.

• 

Do not switch the record size selection while the record 

is playing. Doing either of these can cause the product to 

malfunction.

Manual operation

Lower the volume of the amplifier, speakers, etc. sufficiently.

1.  Press the tonearm lift button.

• 

When you press the tonearm lift button, the tonearm rises 

from the tonearm rest.

2.  Position the tonearm over the desired location (groove) on 

the record.

3.  Press the tonearm lift button.

• 

When you press the tonearm lift button, the tonearm 

descends slowly onto the record and play begins.
