INDICATOR (4) will light up.
2. Set the FUNCTION SELECTOR (5) to the PHONO position.
3. Set the SPEED SELECTOR (14) to the proper position depending on the record to be played.
Three speeds (33 rpm, 45 rpm, 78 rpm) can be selected. When 45 rpm is selected, use the 45
rpm ADAPTOR (15).

8. At the end of the record, the platter will continue to rotate until the TONE ARM (12) is returned to
the REST (13).
Note:
The turntable platter will not automatically stop when the record finishes playing. This is to
allow extended play records to play all the way through without prematurely stopping before the
TONE ARM(12) reaches the end of the record (center area).Don't allow the record to continue
turning for extended periods of time once the TONE ARM (12) reaches the center of the record.
This could prematurely wear out the stylus needle.
