to
cancel

the harmful
skating force
which

REST/cLAMPER
The arm rest

the
tonearm
on its
rest
when
it
is
not playing
re-
cords. Clamp
it
into
position
if
you
don't
have
any
im-
mediate
plans
to
play
records.

PLATTER/RUBBER PLATTER MAT
When
the tonearm
is moved
and power
is supplied
to
the
turntable, the
platter
will
start rotating at the
set
rotation
speed.
The rubber platter mat
stabilizes
the

and
also
absorbs
external vibration.
@
DUST
COVER
Keep
this
closed
unless
operating
the controls or
tonearm,
or
changing
over
records.
This
serves
to
keep

the
records
during record play.
When
fully
opened
and
pulled straight up,
this
dust
cover
can
be
re-
moved
from
the
cabinet.
