After

STOPPING THE TURNTABLE DURING PLAY
Press the CUT button gently (until you hear the
sound

being actuated).
The stylus will rise slowly from the surface of the
record and the tonearm will return to the arm rest.
The power to the turntable is then turned off and
the platter comes to rest a few seconds later.
NOTE:
If you push the CUT button during repeat play, the tone-
arm
will return
to the arm
rest and back again to the
record for repeat play.
RELEASING REPEAT-PLAY MECHANISM
The repeat mechanism
only is released when you
push the REPEAT
button during repeat play and
then take your finger off the button. The turntable
is then set to the normal auto play mode.
OPERATION PRECAUTIONS
Always set the record size selector before you
push the START
and REPEAT
buttons when
you want to set the turntable to the auto play or
repeat play modes. This is because the stylus will
not descend where you want it to descend if you
change the setting of the record size selector
while
the tonearm
is moving.
You
may
also
damage the stylus and the record.
Always clean the stylus both before and after
playing a record with a soft brush and try to
make it a rule to clean the records with a good
quality cleaner.
When
changing over the headshell, clamp the
tonearm to the arm rest so that the tonearm
shaft is not strained in any way.
Be careful not to make the turntable vibrate
while a record is playing since this can result in
damage to the stylus and record.
Do not force the tonearm closer than 40mm to
the center shaft or away from the arm rest. If
this distance is exceeded, you may damage the
internal mechanisms and render automatic ope-
ration ineffective.
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.
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.
