Operation
The lever switch situated at the left side of the platter se-
lects the platter speed. There are two speeds provided: 33
(rpm) for LPs and 45 (rpm) for singles. Next to this switch
on the right is the
Start/Stop button (Fig. 6) .
For playing back a record select the appropriate speed
and press the Start/Stop button. Then lift the tonearm up
by slowly pushing the lift lever up and back
(Fig. 7)
. Move
the tonearm from its rest and position it above the lead-
in groove or above the desired piece/track to be played.
Slowly move the lift lever down whereupon the tonearm is
smoothly descending.
The turntable features an automatic shut-off mechanism.
As soon as the stylus has reached the run-out groove, the
turntable will switch itself off. The tonearm has to be lifted
off the record by hand.
Use the Start/Stop button (Fig. 6) if you wish to switch the
turntable off before the stylus reaches the run-out groove.
