Playing a record
Lower the volume of the amplifier, speakers, etc. sufficiently.
1. Turn the power switch on.
2. Use the control knob to select the speed.
• Select “33” for a 33-1/3 RPM record, or “45” for a 45 RPM record.
• The platter begins to rotate.
3. Raise the tonearm by lifting the tonearm lift control lever to the
UP position.
4. Position the tonearm over the desired location (groove) on the record.
5. Lower the tonearm by moving the tonearm lift control lever to the
DOWN position. The tonearm descends slowly onto the record
and play begins.
• Alternatively, you can skip steps 2 to 4, and use your fingers to lift the
headshell, move the tonearm over the desired location on the record, and
then place the headshell down to begin playing the record.
• Do not subject the product to strong impact during playback.
