o You can also move the tone arm above the record
with the arm lifter lever forward and then slowly
lower the tone arm to start playback.
7
Move the tone arm to the track where
you want to start playback.
ATTENTION
o Always remove the protective cover (white) before
use. Keep this protective cover to protect the tip of
the stylus during transportation.
o The first song starts at the outer edge of the record.
Lower the stylus to the outer edge of the record if
you want to listen to the first song.
8
Use the arm lifter lever to lower the tone
arm.
The tone arm lowers slowly until the stylus touches the
record and playback begins.
o Close the dust cover during playback. Since doing
this prevents skipping caused by unintended contact
and blocks external sound pressure, it makes noise
less likely to occur.
V Do not place anything on the dust cover.
ATTENTION
o During playback, do not touch the tone arm or the rotating
record. Doing so could damage the stylus tip and cause
scratches on the record.
o Do not forcibly stop turntable rotation during playback.
Since this product is not a turntable designed for DJs (direct
drive), doing something like this could cause malfunction.
If the volume is too loud during record playback, vibration
from speakers could be transmitted to the stylus, causing
loud feedback. If this happens, lower the volume of the
amplifier.
When playback finishes
When playback finishes, the tone arm automatically returns to
the tone arm holder and the rotation stops.
To manually interrupt playback, use the arm lifter lever to
raise the tone arm and then return the tone arm to its resting
position.

o The tone arm may not return to the tone arm holder auto-
matically depending on the record. In that case, move the
tone arm back to the tone arm holder manually.
