How to play

1.  Connect the stylus light to the stylus light connector to 

turn on the light for record playback in the dark. 

2.  Put a record on the platter while aligning the center 

hole of the record with the center spindle. 

  For an EP record, use the EP adaptor. 

3.  Select a rotation speed (33 or 45) with the rotation 

speed selection switch in accordance with a record 
and press the start/stop switch. 

4.  Raise the arm lifter, disengage the tone arm from the 

arm rest, and move the tone arm to a position where 
you like to play. 

5. Lowering  the  arm  lifter  allows  the  tone  arm  to  be 

lowered and playback to start. 

6. After playback ends, raise the arm lifter, put the tone 

arm back on the arm rest, and press the start/stop 
switch to stop the platter.

use the arm lifter for vertical movement of the tone arm if 
possible.
