Record playback

Place a record on the platter mat.

For EP (“doughnut”) records, insert the included 45 rpm adapter onto the center spindle.

Turn the RPM selector knob to match the platter rpm with the rpm of the record.

The platter will start turning.

You can select 33 1/3, 45, 78 rpm as the platter speed per minute.

The record rpm is normally indicated on the jacket or label of the record.

The included cartridge is also capable of playback at 78 RPM.

Raise the stylus cover of the cartridge.

Be careful not to scratch records.

Observe the following during playback.

Do not touch the tone arm or platter.

Do not disconnect the power.

Make sure this unit is not subjected to vibration or impact.

Do not change the record until the platter has completely stopped.

Do not apply pressure with your hand to stop the platter while it is turning. Doing so creates internal heat which can lead to equipment failure or fire.
