as far away from the unit as possible.

Playback

! Place a record on the turntable.
! Remove the stylus cover while paying attention not to touch the stylus tip.
1 Press the [SPEED] button to set the record's playing speed.
To play 45's, set the button to the raised position [v]; for 33 1/3 records, the button must be in the depressed
position [w].

turning.

! This set has an auto return function by which the tone arm automatically returns to its original position once
a specific point is reached after a record finishes playing. Though there is no problem with records of normal
size, with records including grooves up to this point, the auto return function may be activated before play-
back is finished.
