returns to the arm rest. At the same time, the
platter stops rotating and the power to the
turntable is turned off.
10. Secure the tonearm to the arm rest with the
clamp and attach the stylus cover to protect
the stylus.
OPERATION PRECAUTIONS
. Never obstruct the turntable with the hand
while it is rotating. This may cause damage.
. Do not force the tonearm closer than 40mm to
the center shaft or outward from the arm rest. If
this distance is exceeded, you may damage the
internal
mechanisms and render automatic
operation ineffective.
o Be careful not to make the turntable vibrate
while a record is playing since this can result in
damage to the stylus and record.
. Place only one record at a time on the platter.
If two or more records are stacked on the
platter, the stylus will not make proper contact
with the grooves, and this will impair the quality
of reproduction.
o Do not disconnect the power cord while the
stylus is still in a record groove as this may result
in damage to the stylus and record.
