REPEAT PLAY
Proceed
as
follows
if
you want
to
listen
to
the
same
record
again
and
again:
o
Press
the
REPEAT
button. The
strobe
light
comes
on
and
the platter
rotates.
When
the platter
rotates, the tonearm
moves,
the
stylus
tip
settles
down gently
onto
the
lead-in groove
of
the
record, and
play
begins.
.
After the
record
has
been
played,
the autoreturn
mecha-
nism
is
actuated, and
the tonearm
returns
to
the
arm
rest.
A few
seconds
later the tonearm
moves
over
to
the
record
again,
and
play
begins.
The turntable
will
remain
in the
repeat
mode
until
the
REPEAT
button
is released,
which
releases
the turntable
from
the
repeat mode.
Releasing
repeat-play mechanism
The
repeat mechanism
is
released
only
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.
STOPPING RECORD PLAY
Press
the
CUT
button gently
(until you
hear
the
sound of
the
return
mechanism
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
turned
off.
NOTE:
lf
you push the
CUT
button
during
repeat
play,
the tonearm
will
return
to
the
arm
rest
and back
again
to
the record
for
repeat play.
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
SE
LECTOR
while
the
tonearm
is
moving.
You
may
also damage
the
stylus and
the
record.
.
Do not
force
the
tonearm closer
than 40mm
to
the
center shaft
or
away
from
the arm rest.
lf
this
distance
is
exceeded,
you
may
damage
the internal
mechanisms
and render
automatic operation ineffective.
o
Always
clean
the stylus
both
before and
after
playing
a
record
with
a
soft
brush and 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.
.
Place
only
one record
at
a
time
on
the platter.
lf
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
damage
the
stylus and
re-
cord.
o
Never
obstruct
the platter with the
hand
while
it
is
rotating.
This may
cause
damage.
